Access Denied: 0x80070005
I have no passwords set up for administrative privileges. The Computer goes directly to the Desk Top when started. When I attempt to change the schedule for a Norton Internet Security scan and click OK in the configuration screen, I get a popup screen with three lines: "Run as"is filled in (xxxx/Owner); Password (space is blank) and Confirm Password (Space is blank). I ignore the opportunity to fill in a PW in both blank spaces since I haven't any set up (Inever see the log in screen anyway) and Click on OK. A Task Scheduler error messasge comes up" An error has occurred while attempting to set task account info: Specific Error is 0x80070005: Access Denied YOu do not have permission to perform the requested operation. I click OK, then Click Finish. No surprise, at the scheduled time the scan does NOT execute. Its been suggested that I run the MS Hotfix described in KB904423. This is an xp sp1 and xpsp2 era fix. I am running XP SP3 and I'm reluctant to run it. Is there a fix? DOes it involve getting the Log In Screen to function again? How do you get that done?1 person needs an answerI do too
