Hi Andy I've had loads of problems with Task Scheduler in XP too. Even although I'd set a user a/c password, etc. it still refused to run the task (even though the command line was correct). I've basically given up on the problem and move over to JPluck (http://jpluck.sourceforge.net) - this now downloads & transfers to SD card the latest updates (for all those channels that are due an update) each time I HotSync :-) It also syncs the previous file to the card whilst the next one is being downloaded/created, saving quite a bit of time!
