    I have tried to use the Windows Scheduler for some tasks, but it doesn't seem to work correctly. Anyone know of an alternative scheduler program I can use under windows xp?

    thanks

    I've had good luck using Launchpad, but I've also never experienced a problem with Window's native task scheduler. Is there any problem you're facing with it that we can help you overcome? Can you elaborate on the fact that it "doesn't work correctly"?

    well, I have a batch file that calls a program that automatically logs into an application and loads a file. When I run this manually, it works fine. But when I run it through windows scheduler, the scheduler says its running, and then ends, but nothing happens. The file does not get loaded.
