    Hello yoba,

    Could you please do the following?

    - Download the http://www.acronis.com/files/support/schedmgr.exe file;
    - Start the Command Prompt from Start -> Programs -> Accessories menu;
    - Run the following command in the folder you saved the file to (execute it from the command prompt):

    schedmgr get report > schedreport.txt
    schedmgr set logflags support

    Reproduce the problem and provide the log file and the created schedreport.txt file.

    The log file is named schedul2.log and placed to the same folder as the service file. It is recommended to turn off logging after troubleshooting (schedmgr set logflags 0).

    Please collect the information requested above and contact us from our web-site: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/my/support/ . Please don't forget to send the link to this thread along with gathered information. This would allow us to investigate the problem and help you with the solution.

    Thank you.

    Hi, I think I have the same problem, when I try and schedule anything it doesn't do it, and when I try and start "System Clean-up" I get the message "Task System Clean-up is already started or set up externally and cannot be started." The others all work when asked though (but won't schedule). I've done all that's been posted here but when it comes to entering "service start" in sched manager it says "the service database is locked".

    Please help,

    Thanks.

    Hello Thundercracker,

    Thank you for choosing Acronis Internet Privacy and Antispyware Software.

    Please make sure that you are trying to restart the service under the Administrator account. If yes, then please try to do the following:

    - Please run schedmgr.exe application again;
    - Issue the following command:
    task zap

    After that please try to schedule tasks again.

    If it does not help then please collect the log files and Windows system information as it was described above and submit a request for technical support. Attach all the collected files and information to your request along with the step-by-step description of the actions taken before the problem appears and the link to this thread. We will investigate the problem and try to provide you with the solution.

    Thank you.
