AFAIR, the Task Scheduler is bundled with IE6, hence a
re-installation of IE6 might fix the problem.

I also note that the following files appear to relate to the
Task Scheduler. They are all located in the System32
directory.
- mmtask.tsk
- mstask.dll
- schtasks.exe
Perhaps one of them is missing on your machine, or maybe
one of them has inappropriate NTFS permissions.
