Can't Schedule Defrag in UltimateDefrag2008?

I purchased UD2008, and registered online.

When I try to schedule a defrag, at end it asks me to-
Set Account Information
Run as:
Password:

No matter what I enter (I've tried MANY combos...?), it gives me-
Login failure: unknown user name or bad password.

UD's NON-support won't answer me!

Q?- What do I enter to get it working, or is there a problem with this Scheduled feature?

BTW- My computer is sooo fast, once I stopped first doing an Analyze/after malware scan... (uses file last accessed)!

 

scottls,

If you correctly enter your user name and password that you use for Windows logon it should work. Do you use a password for Windows or is it automatically logged in?
Also - are you able to create a task using Windows Task Scheduler? When you "Add Scheduled Task" it'll present similar User name/Password box. Does it work for you?

 

Re: Can't Schedule Defrag in UltimateDefrag 2008? SOLUTION!

I don't use a password for Windows login, it's automatic/no password & I'm admin.

I tried just clicking OK with default username/Run as: in box-
Win (XP home SP3) comes back & says-
Logon faiure: User account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords are not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or policy restriction has been enforced.

SOLUTION!-
I Googled & found a solution that allows XP users to just click OK!-

Scheduled Tasks - Applying/Running tasks without a password

For XP Pro: Go to Start/Administrative Tools/'Local Security Policy/Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only. This is enabled by default, disable it.

For XP Home: (Keith Miller) Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

Value name= "limitblankpassworduse (click)", Type: REG_DWORD, Data: 0 (disabled) 1 (enabled)
