I had a problem with Task Scheduler. I was unable to create a local basic task because access was grayed out. I downloaded the zip file, ran the Win 7 fix, restarted and now I have access.

Additionally, I have had to manually start Windows Audio and all the dependent services (ever since a Microsoft engineer fixed other problems on my ThinkPad a few weeks ago but those issues have been fixed too it seems.

Thank goodness for Windows techies who are willing to share!

Thank you,
The registry fix corrected the event log issue.

I have have the same problem and get the same errors described by Ramesh. I followed the same steps and as happened to Dana, I found the registry setting for the eventlog was already set as described, but I still have the problem.

I still can run Disk Defrag tho. But the errors still there.:(

MY OS is Windows Vista 64bit

What to do next???

I have the problem described above on my Windows 7 system but when I followed the steps described to fix it, I found the registry setting for the eventlog was already set as described, but I still have the problem.

The problems seem to be spreading, now I can’t run disk defrag or windows update. HELP
