that doesn't work, it has been scheduled to run C:\games\half-life\psychostats\stats.pl every day at 1PM but it has never done the task the last oh........ about 36 times it was supposed to
my guess is that scheduled tasks is a joke because it never worked on any of my other computers | |

Is "Schedule" running in your list of services? Is it set to run automatically? | |
