Spooler SubSystem App has encountered a problem......

Greetings price,

1. Did you attempt to run with wizard with ICF enabled? That is the Windows
XP Internet Connection Firewall.

2. Did the Wizard create a bridge?

3. Do you have a printer installed on the machine you ran the Network
Wizard? The reason why I ask because most spooler errors are to referred to
a printer. Even though your printer may be functional, try uninstalling the
Printer and try running the Network Wizard again.

Here is a similar article here. Please see this article first.

If that doesn't work, try stopping the spooler service before you run the
Network Wizard. Here's what you do.

1. Open a command prompt window.

2. Stop the spooler service - type "net stop spooler"
(without quotes) and hit the ENTER key.

3. Then setup the network. After you finish then you can restart the
service. You can restart the spooler service by typing "net start spooler"
(without quotes) or rebooting the machine.

Please post back with results.

Also need to add that ICS is disabled and "use simple file sharing" is
de-selected.

Thanks............

Three computers at home running XP Pro (fully patched) on a Linksys
wireless G network. Ran the "Set up a home or
small office network" wizard from My Network Places. Two of the
three systems executed without a hitch. They see each
other and the shares work well. The third system got the end of the
wizard where it is acting on the various inputs to the
wizard and craps out. The following error message in
displayed..."Spooler SubSystem App has entcountered a problem and needs to
close".

The workgroup changes but I get a message about inappropriate domain
permissions when I attempt to see the other
systems in the "View workgroup computers" in My Network Places.

I've tried changing the Workgroup name to something else and then
back restarting with each change to no avail. I also used the "Add netowrk
place" wizzard to establish that the system is not part of a domain.

Any ideas?
