Hi "MageMaster",

You can manually RUN the task without waiting for the scheduled time.

Start> (all)Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Scheduled Tasks
(or Control Panel> Scheduled Tasks)
On the folder menu bar, click View, click Details
(Note that there is a "Help" item on the menu bar too. :)

Right-click the icon for your task, click RUN

If it does not run,
right-click the icon for your task, click Properties
[Checkmark] Run only if logged on
[Checkmark] Enabled (scheduled task runs at specified time)
Click OK
Right-click task again and click RUN

If it does not run,
right-click Properties again, and,
On the Settings tab, insure there are no settings that would hinder it.
Note, Scheduler cannot wake a computer, if completely powered off.

Other things to check in Scheduled Tasks folder:
On menu bar, click Advanced, click View Hidden Tasks
On menu bar, click Advanced, click View Log

HTH. (Hope This Helps. :)
