Print spooler not working dependancies missing ..help please
« on: October 31, 2008, 07:52:12 PM »
Help please...
I seem to have lost totally my RCP  facility which control many services including the print spooler
When I try to print I see no printer I can not add a printer in set up 

If I use services.msc  go to  print spooler and try to start it I get not available and when I check on dependancies I see a yellow flag on Remote control procedure. I find that the RPC  its not working at all tho it is started but I can change it its greyed out.

If I use regedit and seek the legacy functions I can not find them
I do not have lexbce on my system that I can find


I am out of my depth?

could it be a virus I have NOD32 current and nothing showing I have malaware and nothing there

help please

I would try downloading the default services registry file from Black Viper's website and merging that. Then reboot. Also make sure you didn't accidentally disable a printer driver from starting up. The default service files can be found here. http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/registry.htm

Hi thanks for the quick reply ..I am not sure which file you mean ..on that page I do not see any single file to download or perhaps its the safe start 86 zip file ..can you guide me relating to that page on the registry problems and which file I merge....by merge do you mean simply click on the reg extension and add to registry..sorry I am a bit thick

TIA
