Hello
- What were the changes made before the problem occurred?
I recommend you perform the clean boot.
Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article. -

I try to print from a computer Win7 computer with shared Vista HP F4280.
Error on Vista "spooler subsystem app stopped working, computer or restart the service.Have executed 'FixIt' Center, reinstalled the drivers, check the updates etc.Nothing has worked so far, tried both wireless and wired connections.Printer works very well is directly connected to a machine.Remote scanner works well.The suggested "fix" did not work in this case.
Finally, I deleted everything and nothing to do with of the HP F4280. Started, re - install a stand-alone printer on each PC and tests.Then I shared the printer on the Vista PC, on the Win7 PC I used the shortcut of 'Network' to display the PC, double click on the VistaPC to view his actions, clicked on the printer and everything was done.Thank youMike -

I would like to install Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium on one of my old notebooks - I have the license key, but no media. The DVD - ROM drive is not reliable stuff, so I thought that a USB stick installation would be worth a try.
I have downloaded the file ISO in Digital River today, only copied the hard drive of my computer. I installed the MS tool to make a bootable USB key. When I select the ISO file I have downloaded, I get an error message that is not a valid ISO file. No idea why? He came from Digital River, so it should be a good record.
Original title: Microsoft Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool

How can I restart Spooler subsystem. Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
If you mean the Spooler Service, go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services and scroll to spooler and make sure that it is set to automatic (put it in auto mode if it is not) and make sure that it is started. If it is running, stop it and then restart it again. If it is stopped, start it just.
If you speak another application, to be more specific and provide the name and version of the application as well as the EXACT text message you received (including all codes). Here is an article on how to enable or disable DEP using programs that can help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/65790-dep-turn-off-programs.html.
I hope this helps.

I have found this problem with 2 different browsers, but had success with a 3d. I noticed that the file on Firefox was with Zoom Downloader download. Could be the problem? (Don't know whence came the Downloader Zoom). I use Firefox 18 and Win 7.
Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all the actions file.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/mimetypes.RDF
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.
