• Print Spooler service is not running, or active directory domain services is currently unavailable.

  Original title: my printers on WIndows 7 seemed to have disappeared...

  Printers are not listed for printing set up in Word, Notepad, Adobe, etc., when I try to add a printer, he said the local print spooler service is not running, or domain services active directory is currently unavailable.  Printers are shown on the list of devices, and when I run the troubleshooting it says that the print spooler problem is solved.  but I still can't print.  The question is on a laptop Samsung bought in store Microsoft to OakBrook, Illinois.

  It started on 8 July and I was not able to resolve since.  In reviewing the restore points, I don't see any problems, and printers are recorded in the other PC, I plugged in.

  Thanks for your help.

  Imran,

  Thank you very much for the reply onse.  I appreciate it.  I tried your suggestions and everything in the fix he said that the print spooler has been repaired, it would not print.  I ran the scanner and came without any problem.

  I did a restore of the system to a point prior to the issuance and the printers are busy, apparently something in an update has a problem.  I'll look next week and see what happens.

  Thanks again for your reply and your suggestions, I appreciate it.

• vmrun - error: the specified service provider was not found.

  Hello

  I installed vmware server 2 on Gentoo 2008.0.

  Installed versions:

  VMware-server 2.0.1.156745 - r3

  VMware-modules 1.0.0.24

  VMware vix 1.6.2.156745 - r2

  Everything works fine from a remote machine, but if I want to start a virtual machine in the console via vmrun, I get this error message:

  Error: The specified service provider was not found

  Any suggestions how I can fix this problem?

  The problems seem to stem from the fact that you don't have the "vix.libdir" parameter in your global configuration file. Usually, it is located in/etc/vmware/config by the presence of a line like:

  vix.libdir = "/opt/vmware/vix/lib"
  

  If you add to that, vmrun needs to start working.

• Create a disc of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is designed for up to Windows XP with Vista work. Is this possible?

  Create a disc of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is designed for up to Windows XP with Vista work. Is this possible?

  Hi Silas Martin,

  I have not used Britannica for many years now, but I suppose there is a program of "installation"? If so, try compatibility mode.

  1 / locate the setup.exe (or install file) for the program of Britannica

  2 / right click on the file setup.exe or install.exe, and in the drop-down menu, select Properties.

  3 / in the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab

  4 / on the Compatibility tab place a 'TICK' in the box beside the box "run this program in compatibility mode for", then select the operating system Windows XP (Service Pack 3). This should automatically appear in the box under the run this program in compatibility mode for option. If Windows XP is not visible, then click on the arrow down to see a selection of the available operating system options.

  5 / click OK

  6 / the installation program will now begin to install the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP

  7 / once done, you should be able to run the program as if you were using Windows XP

• by clicking on find printer displays error "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable" I am on a network home windows 8

  When I use word and the products that come with it, I get the above error message.  Then the print job does not print.  Have you tried a lot of bugs, but none have worked.  Help, please.  I'm pulling my hair out.

  Hi Ibilofsky,

  Clear printer spooler files and activate the spooler service and check if the number fixed.

  Step 1

  (a) press the Windows key + R, type "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box and click OK.

  (b) double click on "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.

  (c) click on stop, and then click OK.

  (d) press the Windows key + R, type %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers in the open window and delete all the files in this folder.

  Step 2

  You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

  (a) open services and right - click the Print Spooler service, and then click Properties.

  (b) under the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.

  (c) if the service does not, under Service status, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Check the status of the issue.

  It worked perfectly.

  All installed printers came instantly. No need to reinstall the printer etc drivers they worked already well before the show. It was a spooler problem.

  Thank you.

• Active Directory domain services is currently unavailable; Cannot find printer; Acer Extensa 5620 laptop, Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2; Automatic update

  I can't print on network printers.  I did what was suggested previously and deleted the printers and tried to reinstall, but apparently Windows does not find the printer. I get the famous error "The Active Domain Services Directory is currently unavailable".  It started a few days after an automatic update.  My network is just a peer-to-peer network - no Exchange.

  Although I do not understand why this error, which is apparently a problem been known for months, is not a statement of knowledge on the repair, or even more revolutionary base, has not been corrected, I hope you can give me instructions on how to repair concrete.

  Hi Francois,.

  The issue of Windows Vista you have posted is related to Windows Vista in a domain environment. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows Vista Networking forum.

  Hope the helps of information.
