Spooler sub system app

[jcfcpa@aol.com]

I've lost my ability to print. I keep getting the
message Spooler subsystem appl. error. I'm running
windows XP sp1 Home addition.

When I go into the control panel for printers I can't
accees them because it says the spooler isn't running.

When I try to go into services and start the spooler, and
error message pops up stopping the spooler?

Has anyone else had them problem? I've searched the
internet and seen various comments. Anyone have a good
suggestion to fix the problem?

Thanks.

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
