QC unable to run QTP10 tests on Windows 7 - Test Run Scheduler opens, nothing happens

This is an issue I encountered at work. Fortunately I had one Alex Irvine who's boss at fixing things like this.

The exact problem is that from QC I would initiate a test running on my local machine.
This would start the Task Scheduler on my machine, but this would not show as having any tasks or do anything whatsoever.

The solution:

1.    Open windows explorer and navigate to

C:\Program Files\HP\Quality Center Client Side

2.    Find wexectrl.exe and right click on it to view Properties

3.    Change the Compatibility settings to “Run this program in compatibility more for: Windows XP (Service Pack 2)”

4.    Click Apply

5.    Click OK
