Hi guys,

Having trouble with task scedualer. I know how to set it to run a task every minute or two minutes, but when I try and set it to run the app for 2 minutes, but for a duration of 1 minute (thus leaving 1 minute free) It gives me the error "duration must be longer than repitition time". Surely this doesnt make sense!!!!! If the app is already open how does it think it is going to repeat it?????? I may be missing something but that doesnt make sense to me.

Any simple way of achieving what i need? Thanksss!

The duration means how long it will repeat for.

i.e. if you set it to repeat every two minutes with a duration of one hour then the program would run every two minutes for an hour and then the schedule would stop.

You need to click on the settings tab for the stop after a certain time option.
