I can read a file and then 10 minutes later the same file will not play.  Sometimes after the error message, if I don't click Close, the video is not yet but the audio will not.

    I'm on a laptop HP DV5 with vista 32-bit and 4 GB memory such that shipped HP (Yes, 4 concerts and 32-bit).

    Hello SUNCITYDAVIS,

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer (hardware or software) before having this problem?

    ·         Do you get this error during playback of all media files or any size of file in particular?

    ·         This happens when you play multimedia files stored on your computer as well?

    The error indicates that there could be some missing codecs for the file format, you are trying to play with Media Player.

    You can see the article that will give you information about the codecs:

  • Printing error: "Spooler subsystem APP has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    Original title: cannot print to the network printer.__I have a net wifi Windows XP, SP 3 and an IBM laptop.

    Printers seem to be installed (XP has the printer connected via USB) but when I try to print from IBM I get an error as follows:

    "Subsystem spooler APP has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    The printer is a HP Deskjet D2660 and the LAN is configured correctly by using the wizard.

    I also discovered that the print spooler is never started.

    In addition, even when I start the spooler it remains not said during the next time I start up.

    Can anyone help? I've been banging my head for two weeks.

    Salvation;

    Thanks for responding.

    My IBM ThinkPad running XP - Pro

    My computer is a DELL and running XP-Home Edition

    Printer installed on DELL

    I have a WIRELESS LAN installed by the installation wizard. The net works fine except for the printer.

    Every time I start the spooler does not work. If I set the spooler of runing the choice is never registered. the next time I start up, the spooler does not work.

    I finally asked some experts to solve the problem of no access to the network printer. It took them more than 4 hours (for a cost) to make it work. Everything was going well until the next day. The problem is back. My thought is that the register should be updated so it will retain the corrtions.

    I downloaded the MATS_RUN.printing.exe utility. It corrects everything except this message on the Spooler subsystem.

    Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
