A couple of things - 

 

We can't really see what task you're trying to schedule - are you just launching TestComplete?

 

Can you run TestComplete from this machine without using the scheduler?  If not, what happens when you try?

Scheduling just the launch.

I can run testcomplete w/o using a scheduler no problem.

    My best guess....You're telling it to run as a particular user even if that user is not logged in but you're not telling it to store the password.  I'm guessing that it cannot "authorize" this functionality without having the user password.  

     

    Try changing it to run only when the user is logged in... in fact, this is probably the best practice because you HAVE to have a logged in session with the desktop UI available in order to run TestComplete tests.  See if that works.

      Thanks for reply! I tried it and that did not do it :(

      Any other thoughts?...
