Recurring Job Schedule cannot run hourly

I have tried a lot of things but cannot get this schedule to run every hour
on the hour
or every 10min

How can I achive this?

Example or link to example

SBS2003 Enterprise edition SP3

TIA

It's pretty simple actually. In the Job select to create a schedule and
then choose "Recurring". On the next dialog you select "Daily" and "Occurs
every 1 hour (or 10 minutes etc.)". This shoudl give you an example if you
run this it will create a job with ah hourly schedule:
