    Hi RobynGP,
     
    This may occur if the print spooler requires other services, and these services are not running. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
     
    1. in Services, right-click on print spooler and then click Properties.

    2. click the Dependencies tab. The first box list all system services that must work for the print spooler start. These are dependencies.

    3 make a note of each service, click OK, and restart each service on which the print spooler is dependent, if the service is not already started. If a service is not started, right-click, click Properties, and then make sure that the startup type is automatic.

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hi Mefrombigd,

    1. it happens with all types of CD?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3 when was the last time it was working fine?

    4. you receive the error message when you insert the CD into the CD drive?

    Method 1

    Check if you can access the contents of the CD using Windows Explorer application.

    (a) click the start menu, and then double-click computer.

    (b) make a right click on the CD drive, click Open.

    (c) check if you can access it.

    Method 2

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Get the error message "Windows must be enabled before you can connect. You want to activate now.

    Original title: impossible to activate Windows XP

    I had to reinstall XP Professional. Now, when I start the computer get a message saying "Windows must be enabled before you can connect. You want to activate now? ». When I click on Yes, the desktop backround sometimes nothing happens. the activation wizard does not open and no error message appears always.

    Hi Dale,

    Since you are not able to open a session in normal mode, log in in safe mode and perform a few steps that would help you solve the problem.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    Perform the steps mentioned below and see if it helps.
    a: turn on your PC
    b: Press F8 repeatedly , then in Mode safe
    c:
    Logon as per normal
    (Note: administrator password is usually empty, but I hope you know your password)
    d: Authorize the Office to load completely (who answered "Yes" to continue mode without failure)
    (Note: this is just a long way to say go to Safe Mode)
    e: Click Start - run
    f:
    type exactly: rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk (then click OK)
    (Note: a single space after 'rundll32.exe' also the Oo are two letter o in "oobe"; capital and the comma are important)
    g: Wait a few seconds (although you won't see any change)
    h : Restart your PC normally (start - stop - restart - Ok)
    i: You will be able to return to the Normal Mode.

    Good day!

    Answer please if you have any questions.

    Original title: Error 1402

    Hi, updating Adobe but error HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWSNT\CurrentVersion\Image file execution Option\AcroRd32Info.exe. and request "check that you have sufficient access to that key.

    I saw on the net demand UtilitiesTech that their software would fix this problem.  Paid $43 .00AUD find still with the same problem.  I have "Cat live would be" their technology who asked away from my PC, I said no, he said that he could not fix the problem unless it is remote my PC.  My question is is this a legitimate claim of the software UtilitiesTech provider and why they say they may need to distance your PC before paying their fees.  I would not have paid and downloaded their software if I knew in advance that the solution involved "opening the door" in my PC.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.
