When this error comes up it's due to a program you installed that replace the win2k 
spooler.
Open Explore to c:\winnt\system32 and go down the list till you find the spooler 
files,check the dates on the files,this will give you hint on what file to rename. 
(most of win2k files will be dated 1999 any thing other should rename) spooler.ex_ 
,spooler.bak,etc.
You can also use the command  sfc /purgecache this will also check the OS files. 
(System File Checker)



τΏτ DEX/Bj You can also help some one :>) Please revisit your post so that others on this forum will know if the solutions were helpful or not helpful .
