Scheduled Tasks Don't Work

Is there some sort of bug with Windows2000 with respect to scheduled tasks?

I've tried setting up automated backups with the built in backup software and every time a task is supposed to kick in it never does.

I've also tried to automate the McAfee DAT update's using FTP and it's the same thing: it never kicks in. If I hit the update now button it works perfectly, so it's not a connection problem.

Is this a known problem with Windows2000 or is there some setting I'm not aware of or some utility that must be installed?

With Novell 4.1 I never had this problem. It seems silly that something as fundamental as this wouldn't work in Win2000; I thought that's what computers were for.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
