Task Scheduler Engine "Michael" <michael[ at ]dreisbaugh.com> 11/12/2008 11:06:40 PM I am currently running Vista 64-bit and have noticed an issue. My computer is getting slower and slower (quad core CPU and 8GB RAM). I opened the Task Manager this morning and noticed there are ~450 Task Scheduler Engines running. Has anyone else run across this issue? I just opened it again and now there are ~600 of them. I understand tasks need to be scheduled, but this is getting crazy. PLEASE HELP!!!

Re: Task Scheduler Engine "John Barnes" <JBarnes[ at ]email.com> 11/13/2008 2:59:25 AM Maybe you can explain what you are calling Tash Scheduler Engines. Where on task manager are you getting your figures. "Michael" <michael[ at ]dreisbaugh.com> wrote in message news:21A60714-5120-4ADD-A268-106A0C26E530[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Task Scheduler Engine "Michael" <michael[ at ]dreisbaugh.com> 11/14/2008 1:46:10 AM Basically, in the Task Manager, there are lots of entries taskeng.exe (Task Scheduler Engine). It seems when I hit about 1000 of them running, the system blue screens. I have no idea what the Task Scheduler Engine is doing, but I need to get this fixed. I can tell by the title it probably has something to do with running tasks, but how do I find out which one is calling it? I have placed a link for you to see what it looks like after a restart (had BSOD when I returned). When I get another long list of them, I will post it. http://www.dreisbaugh.com/images/TaskManager.jpg Michael "John Barnes" <JBarnes[ at ]email.com> wrote in message news:uOzq3uTRJHA.4008[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...

Re: Task Scheduler Engine "Michael" <michael[ at ]dreisbaugh.com> 11/14/2008 1:48:06 AM Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about. This is after a restart so there are not many right now. Will try to get a capture with more later. http://www.dreisbaugh.com/images/TaskManager.jpg Michael

Re: Task Scheduler Engine "Michael" <michael[ at ]dreisbaugh.com> 11/14/2008 4:05:28 AM Here is a photo of the Task Manager after 2.5 hours. Notice how many there are now? They keep multiplying like rabbits or tribbles. http://www.dreisbaugh.com/images/TaskManager2.jpg Michael

Re: Task Scheduler Engine "Michael" <michael[ at ]dreisbaugh.com> 11/15/2008 2:58:20 PM THANK YOU!!!! This post and the one just a little bit down solved the issues. I now have a normal computer again. It is amazing how those sites never came up in my search on Microsoft and/or Google. Again, the forums/communities save the day.

Re: Task Scheduler Engine "Tony Sperling" <tony-sperling-at-dbmail-dk> 11/16/2008 2:03:01 AM My pleasure, Michael - but it could be a benefit for the group if you would point us to what it was in those links that cracked it for you. No need to duplicate what is in there, just a one-liner for guidance since apparently you are not the only one! Tony. . .

Re: Task Scheduler Engine "John Barnes" <JBarnes[ at ]email.com> 11/16/2008 2:27:20 AM Hope you don't mind I copied your post to a Vista group post with the same problem. You get the credit though.

Re: Task Scheduler Engine "Tony Sperling" <tony-sperling-at-dbmail-dk> 11/16/2008 10:16:22 AM No minding, glad to hear it - making life that little bit less of a pain is the prime objective, isn't it?
