  I use XP Pro, am the administrator...no network, only user on my computer,
don't sign on with a password. I have two hard drives both NTFS, main h.d.
two primary partitions, slaved drive also primary partitioned.
  My problem is using the win backup utility and scheduling it for a weekly
full backup on Sundays at 2 a.m., all the other days I've scheduled a
differential backup for 2 a.m., have the password set, followed the
Scheduled Backup Help files to the letter, yet, when I go to the control
panel the tasks start, Never! I have the backups set to write to the slaved
drive.

  Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution or a KB article on
this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,
  LeAnne
