How to configure Task Scheduler to run the program when the connection is established
Windows 7 64 bit
Dial-up Internet access
I want to use the Windows 7 Task Scheduler to run a program IMMEDIATELY AFTER a dial-up connection is made to the internet.
How can I configure the Task Scheduler in Windows 7 to do this, please?
I am familiar with the Scheduler of tasks with the command line parameters. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
FYI: If an example is needed, Microsoft Security Essentials can be configured to update virus through this path with the argument definitions:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials/MpCmdRun.exe SignatureUpdate
Maybe someone can use it to show how to configure the Windows 7 Task Scheduler to update MSE virus definitions, once the connection dial-up was made?
Otherwise, for example, another program to run once established a dial-up connection would be OK, thanks
Hello
Scheduler of tasks is time driven.
For order-driven event, you need a script.
Question like that is much better treated in the TechNet IT Pro Forums.
My moderator tools cannot transfer messages on Windows forums, please re - ask you question there.

Failed to create task scheduler to restart the system automatically within the given interval
Dear experts,
I have two accounts on my computer. One was a Director and another was normal user. but the two users are protected by Word.
When I log in as normal user, how can I set a task in the Scheduler to restart the computer once every 6 hours.
Thank you

Hello PK Swamy.
Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.
The Task Scheduler service lets you perform tasks on a chosen computer automated. With this service, you can program any program to run at a convenient time for you, or when a specific event occurs. Task Scheduler monitors the time criteria or the event that you choose and execute the task when these criteria are met.
I understand that you are not able to create the Task Scheduler to restart the system. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.
I suggest you try the following steps to create the Task Scheduler:
1. click on start, type taskschd.msc in the start search box and press enter (it will launch the Task Scheduler).
Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation and click Ok.
2 left click in the right pane on the Task Scheduler Library > open Action in main menu > new folder > name MyTasks > click Ok.
3. left-click on the MyTasks > menu, choose Action > create a basic task (it open Assistant tasks).
4. you can enter the name , for example "restart" and click on Next.
5. in the trigger section, you can specify when you want to run your task, for example:
a. Select daily and the press Next.
b. now you can specify the day, time and all reproduce on a daily basis, after the press Next.
6. in the Action section, you can choose what you want to run, for example, restart your system to do this:
a. choose start a program and press on Next.
b. in the field program/script , type shutdown /r and click on Next.
7. click on end.

problems with wireless Vista "local only".
How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?Hello
Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer. Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1520, running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium and Internet Explorer 9. My extra monitor is a Sharp Aquos LED HD - TV, the model LC-46LE700UN. I've been using a VGA cable to me onnecter the laptop and TV.
The laptop seems to operate normally when not connect to the TV.
As soon as the VGA cable is connected to the laptop (without being connected to the TV), the following message appears:
'Microsoft Windows - Task Scheduler engine has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found. »
When initially, I connected the laptop to TV, "new display detected" was automatically acti EV. Soon, it was activated is no longer automatically. I was able to activate manually using Windows Mobility Center during automatic activation failed initially but now Windows Mobility Center no longer detects the new view.
Using Fn + F8, I can view the image on the laptop or TV, but not both simultaneously.
The message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop" appears intermittently, but I can still make internet sites and show the content after the message.
I have download software, myp2p.eu, a site for watching TV programs "streaming", including PPStream, Sopcast, Live, Stream Torrent Sina, a Swarm, TVAnts, UUSee, VGO and Veetle player and canceled downloads for PPL (who failed an integrity check), PPMate (corrupted) and (blocked) TVKoo.
Norton Security quarantined the installer of UUSee, indicating that it was a high risk of program with many users.
To a computer repair shop and using a different additional display flat screen, I could not duplicate the problems yesterday (4 October 2010), when the "new detected display" has been activated automatically, and I could see the photo or the other and both screens.
I tried to restore the system to a date (on the list) before when the problems occurred first - failure of the restoration of the system. I tried to use scandisk, but received no indication that he had performed and corrected all errors found after restarting Windows. I looked at responses from forum, the display setting and the new display detected support literature.
How can I avoid these problems? Help!

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue
3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable allNote: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services.

I'm on Server 2008. I have a scheduled task that is not working properly. I went to Services, and I see that it is configured to start automatically and it is actually being run. The problem is that I can't stop, pause, or restart the service. Y at - there a command I can run that can stop or restart the service?
Why not with the right button of the job itself in the Task Scheduler, and then stop it?There are several methods to stop the Task Scheduler service that. Here's one of them:
- Create a task scheduled, called 'StopScheduler' as follows:
-Triggering factor: at boot time
-Command: sc.exe
-Settings: time stop
-User: System
-Run with the highest privileges. - Right click on the task of StopScheduler, and then click Run.
- Solve your tasks.
- Restart the Task Scheduler.
- Disable or remove the task StopScheduler.
Note also that this forum focuses on the issue of Windows 7 in a domestic environment. There are dedicated forums for Server 2008. - Create a task scheduled, called 'StopScheduler' as follows:

Difficulties to use Task Scheduler to update the database of the program
Hello
I would like Win 7 Task Scheduler to cause Locate32.exe Explorer file update there database every 45 minutes when I am connected. (Locate32 can do it by itself, but must operate continuously in the background to do). I'm obviously not in the right info, because it does not work for me. I got the details to enter another site, as I am not familiar with the Task Scheduler.
Task field name walked - locate32.
In trigger I select daily
then by selecting a time of 5 minutes before present, to test works
then, in the action, I'm selecting Start a program
then in program/script I enter 'C:\ProgramFiles\Locate\locate32 '.
then in arguments - U
Usually it is a notification when I update of database Locate32. This does not occur with the scheduled task, and when I look in the Task Scheduler for tasks that have been made, this one does.
I checked the user information is correct.
Please could someone tell me what I should do instead? Thank you, Jay
Hello
We apologize late in the response. This problem can be caused by incorrect settings.
To display hidden scheduled tasks, follow these steps:
Click Start. In the search box, type Task Scheduler. Then, in the list programs, click Task Scheduler.
On the view menu, click Show hidden tasks.
Try to re-create the task and check if it helps:
- Press the Windows key + R > type taskschd.msc and press enter (it will launch the Task Scheduler)
- Click with the left button of the right pane on the Task Scheduler Library > open Action on the menu at the top of the page > new folder... > name MyTasks > click OK
- Left-click on the MyTasks > menu, choose Action > create a basic task (it open Assistant tasks)
- You can enter the name , for example "restart" and press Next
- In the trigger section, you can specify when you want to run your task, for example:
- Select daily and press Next
- Now, you can specify the day, time and the game to be repeated daily, after that press Next
- In the Action section, you can choose what you want to run, for example, restart your system to do this:
- Choose start a program and press Next
- in the area of program/script, type shutdown /r and press next
- And that's all, you can press Finish
Let us know the status.

The Task Manager shows only the connection information of network with no menu - how to fix?
I when I try to open the task manager of the only information that appears is the news of network connections. There is no menu, and when I right click the only option is to close.
Looks like you run the Task Manager using tiny/small footprint.
If you double-click on the empty space around the border of the screen of the Task Manager, it will change from normal mode, and then you should see the tabs you are accustomed to seeing.
