Bonjour Service continuously logging errors....

Hi everyone,

Hoping for some help with a weird problem. I've done some searching but can't a confirmed solution.

The Bonjour Service has been logging 'Task Scheduling Errors' (Error 100) on my Win7 laptop for weeks now. The behavior is erratic, but when it happens, it sometimes continues until my system hits a BSOD. Sometimes, thousands of similar messages will appear within the course of a few minutes. Here is the error output of the first few messages of a set:

Task Scheduling Error: Continuously busy for more than a second

Task Scheduling Error: m->NextScheduledEvent 1045

Task Scheduling Error: m->NextScheduledSPRetry 1045

Task Scheduling Error: Continuously busy for more than a second


From there, it's basically an endless cycle of the busy message, NextScheduledEvent, and NextScheduledSPRetry.

Any insight to these issues? I think I've been able to temporarily solve the problem by changing the Service type to 'Manual' in services.msc, but am looking for a more solution-y... solution.

Thanks much,
NS

I upgraded to Windows 7 x64 a week ago and am seeing the same sort of issues:-

26/09/2010 21:44:51 Task Scheduling Error: m->NextScheduledSPRetry 999
26/09/2010 21:44:51 Task Scheduling Error: m->NextScheduledEvent 999
26/09/2010 21:44:51 Task Scheduling Error: Continuously busy for more than a second

repeated in threes every second until

26/09/2010 21:57:03 Service started

starts again the next day...

27/09/2010 21:44:13 Task Scheduling Error: m->NextScheduledSPRetry 998

same messages until around 27/09/2010 21:56:29

and similarly again on 28th, then today 7:34 to 7:44, again at 16:54 to 17:04 and 18:01 to 18:13.

Well, glad to see that it's not just me with this issue on Win 7 x64... of course, not glad to see that you're having the problem 😉

So, I've disabled the Bonjour Service and things are ok for now, but it's a pain, as I need to manually start the service when I use iTunes for all functionality to be there. I've even gone as far as writing a script that starts the service, then launches iTunes, and kills the service when I quit iTunes.

Yep, that's right. Fix it, please, please, Apple.

Exact same issue. Exact same repro. Exact same machine setup.

Apple's sw has shown to be poorly functioning on Win7 x64. For example, I and others on the Internet can't even play a movie using the native Quicktime player on x64. We have to find a 3rd party tool. Quicktime throws errors.

I'll disable the service as you suggested and hope that hides their errors.
