E00640068:Failed to create the scheduled task

When trying to make an image on my outboard Iomega HDD (Which I managed to do when I first bought Acronis True Image) I get the following message:

E00640068:Failed to create the scheduled task. Failed to create the scheduled task. Error #1722. "The RPC server is unavailable".

I'm running Windows 98SE, have Acronis True Image 7.0 build 584.
