Failure to launch 'event 203' & failure to run 'event 103' task scheduler Win 7

Hi,
I am having an issue which I discovered last nite whereby CleanMem is unable to run at its 15 minutes interval. I get this error, "handle is invalid 0x80070006 . Here are the details from task scheduler's history:

Also see attached screenshot. Would appreciate any help, as everything I have tried to resolve has not worked. My system is 32bit

Thanks for the reply. Following the instructions provided with the link did not work for me. Moreover, the issue as pointed out there had to do with password(s) being changed, thereby causing the problem. There has been no password changes on my systems. I've been using CleanMem for a couple years on an XP desktop without issue. It's my Win 7 desktop which has been running CleanMem for about 3 wks that is the problem. After a couple of wasted hours trying to resolve I am now giving MZ Ram a test drive.

The problem isn't with cleanmem, it is something with the task scheduler. Did you try deleting the schedule and remaking it?

Cleanmem runs on over 1 million machines, from every version of Windows from xp to 8 and all servers. The error is coming from the task scheduler not cleanmem. A lot of times when ever I have trouble with a task scheduler I just need to delete the task. On some other machines there was a security issues with it and I found a fix for that and that got task scheduler working. But that error kept every task in the task scheduler from working

Also on a side note, alot of the other memory cleaners out there simply copied what cleanmem does with the API. But they dont do something else that I do, you will see Cleanmem can clean out of more processes then they can

Anyways, need anything else let me know.

One more confirmation that the Win 7 Task Scheduler is (more than) a bit "buggy". As long as one doesn't fiddle with it, all is OK. But once the user starts to meddle with Win 7, problems & errors (can) surface.

E.g. One task is reported in Piriform's CCleaner but it doesn't show up in Task Scheduler. Weird.
