Task Scheduler Jobs Will Not Run

I receive the following error in a Window Pop Up:
0x8007007a: The data area passed to a system call is too
small.

I find the following in the Task Scheduler Log for the
two tasks I attempted to change/run.

"McAfee.com Update Check (D8NGZ131-Owner).job"
(mcupdate.exe) 2/3/2004
9:54:00 AM ** ERROR **
        The attempt to retrieve account information for
the specified task failed; therefore, the task did not
run. Either an error
occurred, or no account information existed for the task.
        The specific error is:
        0x80070534: No mapping between account names and
security IDs was done.
"Backup.job" (Program) 2/3/2004 9:54:17 AM ** ERROR **
        The attempt to retrieve account information for
the specified task failed; therefore, the task did not
run. Either an error
occurred, or no account information existed for the task.
        The specific error is:
        0x8004130f: No account information could be found
in the Task Scheduler security database for the task
indicated.

I already tried deleting files in C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-
1-5-18. Same symptoms persist.

Any ideas on how to clear this up?

Thanks
