Hi

PLEASE HELP!!!

The printer spooler service has been deleted off my laptop (not sure how). I ran Services.msc and it is not there. I then ran a scan(as per another site) but nothing has helped.

Could you tell me what i NEED to do next?

Many thanks
Brenss

Go to Start/Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter...
Have your Windows CD handy as it will ASK for it...
When it finishes remove the CD and re-boot...Hi

I did the sfc /scannow and nothing happened. It never asked me for the disk or anything.

Did you re-boot afterwards ? ?Try here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/itprovistaprinting/thread/dc67cf1a-4308-4604-a8da-8cd7a7b8fe1dRun msconfig and on Services tab, scroll and look for Print Spooler. What is the status and is it present?There are several ways to resolve printer spooler error, probably because there are many variations of this error. The error caused by faulty software can be resolved by DELETING all the information found in the directory. Thereafter, navigate to the Control Panel, CLICK on Administrative Tools and then services icon. Find the service labeled Print Spooler, highlight it and restart the process. If that doesn’t work, the program might be corrupted. Click on start, then Run. Search for the document labeled services.msc, and this will trigger the opening of another window. On this window, scroll down and click “Print Spooler”. Check its setting and turn on automatic mode. Click Okay, and restart the machine. If you’re lucky, this might be all you have to do. Still doesn’t work? Navigate to the Add/Remove Programs screen of the Control Panel. Find the all the software responsible for making the printer run including the drivers, and uninstall them. Be sure to be thorough about it, or the problem may not be solved. Download the latest copy of your printer’s software from the manufacturer and reinstall it.
