job runs OK without schedule, does not complete with schedule

I have a multistep job that has been working fine until recently, but for
some reason the server rebooted (power outage?) and ever since then the job
scheduler is not working as it should. The job starts, the 1st step
executes OK, but progress is not made to the next step and the job continues
to be in Execute mode.
...to work around this problem, I've disabled my job and have created 1 job
for each of the steps in my 'hanging' job. These smaller jobs run OK if I
don't attach a schedule to them, however, once I attach a schedule to each
job, the same problem recurs...the job completes OK, but the status of the
job remains Executing and never completes.
TIA for any suggestions and thoughts on this matter.I had a similar problem recently that was only resolved by re-installing the latest MDAC.|||Yes...that was it. Thank you very much.
