Does anyone know where to find a new install for the print spooler or is
there such a thing? (I feel like an idiot)

Hi, argento2665 and welcome to the Vista Forums, :party:

First thing, when did this happen?

If it is a recent problem would suggest you try a system restore

'System Restore - How to - Vista Forums'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-system-restore-how.html)

If this does not help you can try a system File Check ...

'System Files - SFC Command - Vista Forums'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66978-system-files-sfc-command.html?filter%5B11%5D=Performance%20Maintenance)


If all else fails ther is the repair install ...

'Repair Install For Vista '
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html)

With all these I am assuming you have a Vista install DVD if not you
can have a look at this which will enable some of the above options ...

'Create a Recovery Disc - Vista Forums'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/141820-create-recovery-disc.html)

If this fails a reinstall may be the only option (either from original
DVD or via the restore option for laptops

Is the spooler really deleted or is it just stopped? If the latter open
an elevated command window (start, type cmd.exe in the start search box,
hold control and shift and press enter). In the command window type:

Net start spooler

Thanks for the SMC.Exe idea, I used it.

The SMC.Exe step worked, as the computer then showed:
"The Print Spooler service is starting.
the Print Spooler service ws started successfully."
I typed: Exit.

Then I tried to print, and tried to add a printer, and rec'd a windows
message:
"Spooler Subsystem App stopped working and was closed."

Any ideas? Thanks much. Bob Holland

I think you have to start the Print Spooler service in "services".
Type "services" in start search.HTH.

Hi 4/12/09 12:40pm
Thanks brummyfan. I appreciate the ideas, and for your responding.
The 'Services' step and then clicking on print spooler and then
changing it to Automatic, does work but only until I try to print
something, and then again I get a windows message that the Spooler
Subsystem App has stopped.
Since I am not real good at computer geek stuff, I eventually resorted
to a Restore from a week ago, and so far, I have printed 2 tax returns
and 1 set of other forms in TaxCut, so it seems to be working. Again,
thanks for responding, and sharing.
Bob
