• Spooler problem print with my HP 8600

  My HP 8600 shows a wireless connection for my single computer at home, but when I try to print an e-mail on this computer, I get a message that says there is no installed printer.

  So I went into the control panel to try to install the printer.  A box will appear saying 'operation could not be performed.  The Print Spooler Service is not running.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Although it is fairly easy to start the print spooler (see the instructions of Raju2529), may not stay running if first what caused its judgment is not resolved.

  Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

  AntiMailware MalwareBytes
  SUPERAntiSpyware

  Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

  HP mini 110-1129nr with windows xp home edition, on said boot computer could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt \windows\system32\config\system computer has no cd/dvd drive. Computer does not load in safe mode, I ran disk hard main test self test it says completion test: failure, check the status: 7 (filled with the read element of the test failed). Help.

  You need an external DVD drive to get the repair will.

  Also the device you own does not seem to have built in the recovery partition. I'm not sure about later versions of this machine, however, it is best to check with HP.

  The problem is that there is a corruption of the registry on your OS or the system could not find where the registry files are due to system files or boot corrupted file.

  A repair can be made with an external DVD, the worst case, is that if the repair doesn't work you reinstall Windows.

  Hello:

  On the PC with the Intel Skylake chipset like yours, there is no support USB2 and the W7 installation media has no the USB3 support, so you are between a rock and a hard place.

  The solution that works for most is to use the tool below to integrate the drivers USB 3 of your installation drive of W7 USB flash media.

  There are instructions in the readme on the link below to learn how to use the tool.  It should be run on a PC with W8.1 or W10.

  I have a desktop with Windows Vista. Many times, the screen is the gel with an error massage "video Mode not supported". What could be the problem and the solution. ?

  Hi Izzy Nagar,

  ·         Exactly when you receive this error message?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         Do you have any extended monitor connected to the computer in the past or at the present time?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: You can try to reduce the resolution of the screen (lower), then check if the message still appears.

  Check also if the refresh rate of the monitor is set correctly and check the manual of the monitor for assistance.

• Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file. Even after restarting the Printer Spooler service

  I tried all of the suggestions posted and have had no success in restarting my print spooler. Help, please.

  Original title: I tried to restart the print spooler as directed, and he returned the error 2: the system cannot find the specified file. He does that and is it fixable?

  @Winston Microsoft M committed Support Engineer 'expert '.

  I can see your response that you did take the time to reproduce the problem and then try your own ideas to check if the problem persists.

  Here is what I suggest to you, so you can learn how XP actually works:

  Start in the XP Recovery Console or Safe Mode, so Windows File Protection does not run.

  Rename your file c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe you can remember (such as spoolsv.bak).  Now, the file is "absent".

  Restart normally.

  Then try to start the Print Spooler Service and you will see the error.

  So why don't you follow your own advice and run SFC and troubleshooting automated (as you suggested) and check if the problem persists.

  Please report your results.

  When you see that it does help and that SFC does not replace the missing or damaged file (in the system32 folder) and that the automated troubleshooter does not help, will sing it a different song (we hope).

  Don't forget to rename your spoolsv.bak to spoolsv.exe when you're done messing around autour.
