Windows cannot open spool print

I ran that the scan for vista function and the report I have files corrupted on my hard drive and which cannot be resolved.  What can I do to fix the corrupted files which, I believe, will fix my printer spool problems.

Hi mpcaseyclue,

As mentioned the mistake that this is a problem of print spooler. You can check that the print spooler service is running. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click Startand then right-click my computerand clickManage.
  2. Expand Services and Applicationsand then click Services.
  3. In the Details pane, right-click the print spooler service, and then click Start (if it is stopped).
  4. If its already in road mode right click on the service and click on restart.
  5. Output of computer management.

If you have run a sfc /scan and it says that you have files corrupted on the best computer must run theSystem Update tool and if this also doesn't help not you will have to do an inplace upgrade.

Let me know if you get an error with the print spooler service.

  • Click on the link-get "Windows cannot open the file" select a program?

    After clicking on link get "Windows cannot open this file" have to manually "selecta program programs installed" Firefox appears as a choice and I double-click. How can I solve this problem / eliminate these extra steps
    ? Thank you Joe
    I am running Windows XP, MS office Outlook 2007

    Is it a link in an e-mail message in Outlook? This problem arises from time to time.

    While Firefox can usually set himself as the proper application to open the URL, you click in other programs, settings are sometimes blur or do not take. This article has tips to solve this problem: setting Firefox as the default browser does not work - what to do. Anything there help?

    If the problem persists, is there something special about how you start Firefox? For example, you have this launch in a security 'sandbox' or virtual machine? You have all the command-line options set to allow several simultaneous sessions of Firefox, or call the Profile Manager? If none of this sounds familiar to you, the answer is probably not.

    To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to look for automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs installed on your computer.

    What do you do?

    -Use the web service to find the appropriate program

But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '.

  • I get a message saying "Windows cannot open the file...". »

    I had a lot of problems with infections, so I was running many scanning programs.

    After getting my computer almost completely cleaned, I ran the Super Anti-Spyware program.  We find 3 infections, which I'd delete (I don't have no way of knowing that I removed).

    Since then, whenever I try to open a program, or even Windows Update, etc., I get a message saying:

    "Windows cannot open the file.  To open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program has created.  Windows can go online to search automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs.

    When I go on the web, I get a lot of options, which are almost free scans that then charge for fixing.  I am also very scared that I can also get another infection from these sites.

    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    StanEp

    Yes, each method is a set of measures to try and then go ahead and try each one separate.

    2 method will reset the executable (.exe) extension that will allow you to open programs. It is not clear what exactly you are trying to open so that it can have no effect.

    Keep in mind that the damage caused by malware can be irreversible, in the case of relocations are necessary.
