Job Status "Ready"

I have a couple of server that I'm having a problem with.
They run Win2000 SP4, BEv.9.0 and v.9.1.
The problem is
when I run a backup job, it hangs with status saying "Out of Time Window".
when I run Inventory or Eject or Catalog, Job Status get stuck at "Ready" and nothing happens, ever.

A couple of days ago, there was a corrupt file which a backup job got stuck at so I force quit the job. Then, I noticed that there was a online media hanging from the day that happened. So I just moved this online media to offline, hoping that this will help. But with no online media (which I think the way supposed to be...?) when i try Eject, Catalog or Invetory, its status changes to "Ready" and still nothing happens.

I cleaned the alert messages as one of the Veritas Employees suggested but no help....

thx

    what are you backing up to? make sure that you have updated Veritas drivers and not the drivers of the manufacturer.

    Hi

    got this message too, it sound like backup looking for the tape within the time frame, instead.

    Actually tape was not inserted.

    Hi,

    Does the backup run successfully on backup to disk folder?

    Check for any active alerts during the backup!

    Install latest drivers: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/273853.htm
