I still need more information.

Where are you starting?

What are you selecting at each step?

What type of Maintenance plan object are you dealing with when it fails?

Are you actually getting an error? If so what is the error?

I think you are confusing the SQL Server 2005 UI with 2000.

In 2005 the UI is different from 2000.

You have to drag and drop "Maintenance Cleanup Task". It has option to delete older files.

Schedule is on the top.
