    this was reported during the Vista beta... at that time the suggestions were:

    1. Check if Task Scheduler is running
      • At a command prompt type sc queryex schedule
      • Look at the STATE: line, it should read 4 RUNNING if it's not, start it with the following command: sc start schedule
    2. Check if RSS Download Engine is running
      • At a command prompt type reg query HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Feeds /v SyncStatus
      • Look at the Status line, it should read 0x01 or 0x1. If it isn't running, enable it with this command: msfeedssync enable
    3. Check if task is corrupted
      • At a command prompt type : schtasks /query | findstr /i "user_feed "
      • Look for
        ERROR: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.
        ERROR: Task cannot be loaded: User_Feed_Synchronization-{..
      • If corrupted, then delete and re-create the task with the following commands:
        msfeedssync disable
        msfeedssync enable

    Thanks for the info.
    I went through all of the commands and the last one was "Task image is corrupt or has been tampered with "

    I did the disable and then enable. I will see if this works.

    Thank you
