Scheduled Tasks duplications in CF 8

[Guest]

for the last 10 days after a server restart the scheduled tasks all run twice. This is a HUGE problem for a process that does not complete immediately and moves / creates files.
There was a previous topic posted without any responses or fixes.
here is my server config

Server Product ColdFusion
Version 8,0,1,195765
Edition Enterprise

Operating System Windows 2003
OS Version 5.2
Adobe Driver Version 3.6 (Build 0027)

The first thing I would look for is more then one instance of ColdFusion
running, each one processing the scheduled task. There could easily
have been another ColdFusion process that had been turned off in the
services panel that was restarted with the server reboot.

for some reason the MX7 was set back to automatic and started up in the processes on a restart after security updates were installed. causing an instance of 7 and 8 to be running.
thank you for your fast input!
