  • Problems of Flash player v11 on Windows 2003 Terminal Server upgrade

    Hello

    I am trying to upgrade of several Server Terminal Server to Windows 2003 32-bit, v5.2 IE Flash plugin version 11.1.102.63.  It did not work on the first two servers I tried, and later I concentrated my tests on one of them.  The version on the server before the upgrade attempt has been 10.3.181.14.

    Whenever I try the upgrade, the executable initially runs, but then does nothing.  The running process is visible in the Task Manager, with no resources of treatment and about 18 MB of memory.  Unless I kill the process manually, it will sit like that indefinitely.  If I try the installation again, I get a message advising me that a single instance of the process can run.

    I tried to reboot the server, I tried to install terminal server mode server running the installation, I tried to uninstall the previous version, I tried to reinstall the previous version (which works fine).  For some reason, this version will not work.

    Any suggestions as to the next step would be very welcome.

    Thanks in advance.

    Double-click the print spooler service to view its page properties...
    go to the TAB more far away on the right, should be "dependencies".
    It should display a list of components or services that must be running in order for the spooler service is running.

  • Windows print spooler service:

    I need a fix for a problem in Windows XP - error 1722 Print - Spooler Service please help.

    I am trying to install a HP OfficeJet 6500 printer/fax to my computer a.  The print spooler driver does not work.

    How can I solve this problem?  Please help me.

    I tried for hours to try the fixes listed on Windows and HP websites without success.

    Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked.

    You must watch rather than searching for them.

    There is also a System 32 folder located in the folder "I386" on your Windows CD. This System 32 folder contains the compressed form of your Windows XP boot files. If you need to replace a system file 32 on the hard drive of your computer, you can extract the necessary files to the folder I386 on the Windows operating system CD.

    Source:http://www.ehow.com/about_6621878_system-32-windows-xp_.html

    To replace a damaged or missing file, normal is to run the System File Checker. This can become complicated when the operating system is SP3 and the CD is SP2 or an earlier version. What is the situation on your computer?

    Select, start, run, type sfc/scannow and press ENTER

  • the print spooler service may not be running

    Hello

    I have 4 computers around here, and I'm trying to get a printserver running on one of them, so we have installed windows 2008, set up as a server to printing etc..
    Now when I try to add the printer to my computer laptop windows 7, it works perfectly, and is the same for one of the windows xp workstations.
    However, when I try to add the printserver on windows server 2003, it starts talking about missing drivers.

    The printer is a HP LJCP3505 PCL6, and he is already working on a normal (eg. non-printserver associated) network.
    I downloaded almost all the drivers, I could find from the HP website, but whenever I try to add them, it tells me that they are not valid drivers.
    and on another computer windows 7, I get the following error message:

    Could not connect to the printer.
    On the server print spooler service could not be executed.
    Restart the spooler or restart the server

    (on a side note: it's a translated error message, our systems are not English)

    I don't know if they are related, but I checked the print spooler service, and it was fine (auto startup, active etc.).
    the same goes for its dependencies.

  • Windows must now restart because the print spooler service terminated unexpectedly

    I have a PC running on Windows Vista professional that I had for about a year with two printers that have also been all this time, a HP LaserJet 1000 and an Epson SX105.

    This morning, amid a series of PDFs (separate files) printing on LaserJet printers, I suddenly had the following pop-up message:

    "Spooler SubSystem App stopped working and was closed".

    On the Control Panel, I found that my two printers have apparently disappeared.  My first reaction was just close and restart the computer, often kind of seeds.

    To restart, I tried to print again, but I was told that I had to install a printer.  Trying to install a printer, I learned that I could not because of a problem with the spooler.  I looked online to find a solution and one that suits (without touching the registry) seemed to be to check the operation of via Control Panel's print spooler, and then restart.  Oh dear.  What a mistake!  I did this and found that the printers have reappeared, but then about 30 seconds later, I got the following pop-up message:

    "Windows must now restart because the print spooler service terminated unexpectedly.

    Each time it restarts the message comes back after less than a minute and restarts on another 30 seconds later, so I have a chance to try a system restore (I installed the last service pack Vista a couple of days), or something else... it's just in a loop of perpetual reboot, I can't stop restarting Windows.

    How the hell do I?  (I send this message using my Vista laptop and pray the same problem occur here, too, so I don't have to print anything).

    Hello

    Use this method to clear the spooler and then uninstall and reinstall your printer (check with the manufacturer for)
    the latest driver).

    Check the Mr Fixit here and if you use the other methods go back and try again later.
