Willnot work downloaded service pack 3 and printer
I have not dated the service pack 3 update, and now my printer is not working. It indicates that the print spooler service is not running. It was working fine until I have up dated service pack 3 undate. What can I do to get my printer to work again.
Thank you
Michael
Start the print spooler service.
For Win XP - Click Start, select run, and type Services.msc
Look for print spooler - make sure it is running and automatic.
Reference only-
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-printer-problems
A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print. If you were expecting an abnormally long time to print a document, or if you see an error message about the print spooler, Spooler subsystem or spooler resources, you might need to change and then restart the print spooler service on your computer.
To do this, we recommend that you save your work and restart the computer to restart the print spooler service. If you do not want to restart the computer, try these steps.
You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
Open administrative tools by clicking the start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then Tools clickingAdministrative.
Double-click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.
On the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that thatAutomatic is selected.
If the service is not already running, under State Service, clickStart, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

I downloaded Service Pack 3, and now my Disk Defragmenter does more
After that I downloaded the Service pack, I can not load Disk Defragmenter. The system restore was put there where there is no Checkpoint earlier when it has been installed. Help!
Hello
Do you currently or have you ever had a third-party disk defrag tool (such as Diskeeper, Auslogics, etc..) Installed and uninstalled then? Sometimes no will again put the original XP Defragmenter settings so you have to put yourself back in to re-record some DLL files.
To do this, click Start, run and in the box type each of the following lines one at a time, and click OK to run each of the commands one at a time:
regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll
regsvr32 dfrgui.dllWhen the process is completed for each DLL, you sign up, you should see a message similar to the following:
DllRegisterServer in
... Succeeded. It's good to register the dll, even if they are already registered.

Having the upgrade of questions after recovery on Windows XP Edition version 2002 service pack 1 family. Okay, I found the recovery partition patch I needed and download claims it was successful, so I then try to download the Service pack 2 and nothing happening, no error, nothing. Still not sure that it worked. Yet I am unable to download service pack 3 and my updates still do not work. So I guess that the Service Pack 2 does not load correctly. What should I do now? Help?

Problems after downloading the Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8
Hi, I have Windows Home Version 2002 and advises him to download the Service Pack 3 and decided to download Internet Explorer 8. It wouldn't let me download IE 8 and I got a blue screen. After apparently loaded, when it restarted check disk page it came and I noticed that a lot of pages in IE have been truncated. Now Internet Explorer or Firefox will load. Only Aol 9.7 will work. The update finally began to work with SP3, and while loading, the computer turns off. I did not disable Avast because I didn't know how. Please help it is very upsetting. It seems that every time that I update something it doesn't quite work.
