Windows Server 2003 spooler is unable to continue running.

I have a windows 2003 spooler which will not be started.
History: The spooler service is running and managaing all printers on the network.  I had installed a new Lexmark printer as the last installed printer and a few days later, everything crashed.  I had to move all printers to a new server.  The existing server today Printer Spooler would stay not started and all printers no longer show in the window.
I have already stopped the service, deleted the folder printers reels in system32 and restarted the service.  When I go to the printers and Faxes folder and click "Add a printer" the service stops.  I don't get any kind of error in the event viewer.  Only the error message I get is the "operation could not be performed. The print spooler service is not running. "I also ran cleanspl.exe without effect.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lexmark drivers change dependent on print spooler, you can return the dependence on its default value with the following command (on a command line):

dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

Note that there is a space after the = but none before.  After you run
the command restart the spooler with this command:

net start spooler

    Looks like you are using a compiler more later-than-recommended that refers to a later-than-recommended runtime library that is not included in the OS and/or InDesign.

    Either:

    1. Use the correct compiler
    2. Discover the missing library and install it
    3. twist the compiler to use the correct library

    (I would recommend against 2) and 3) because these hacks tend to break.

    For example if you delete something through your runtime lib that has been allocated by InDesign through competitors runtime lib, you could screw up memory management.

  • Tecra A10 - 12O: installing the driver network card in Windows Server 2003 R2 Std

    Hello

    I received 6 laptop Tecra A10 - 12O, and we need to install Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition with SP2 in all these six machines. Windows Server 2003 has been installed perfectly, but now we have only the network LAN card to work but we are unable to install its driver. When I installed Windows XP from the supplied DVD for Toshiba, it says Intel 82567V Gigabit network adapter. I tried to download the drivers for this adatpor of drivers Toshiba, Intel Web site, but it will not install in Windows Server 2003. I also tried manually force to choose and install a driver from the list, I choose that it will install but shows yellow question mark in Device Manager means that it does not work with this driver.

    I also tried the same Intel 82567V drivers from some sites non-Toshiba, of these models using the same network card, but is not truck drivers at all.

    I understand these laptop computers does not support Windows Server 2003, but these were ordered to be used as servers with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and I am required to make the Installer only with activated and installed network adapter.

    I try last week and exhausted all means to get the installed network adapter driver, but all have failed. Can someone please help with this? All support will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy

    If I m not wrong Windows Server 2003 uses the same drivers as Win XP and I guess that it s driver problem not a LAN, but perhaps also the problem of Windows Server 2003 installed.

    You are right; the LAN chip seems to be Intel 82567V and the LAN driver downloaded from Intel page should work 100%.

    In your case, I would recommend installing the chipset driver.
    Remove the LAN card from Device Manager, then restart the laptop.
    Then go back to Device Manager and update driver in pointing devices Manager to the place where the driver downloaded LAN was stored on the HARD drive.

  • Color LaserJet Ent M553dn: HP Laserjet Enterprise M553dn PCL6 x 64 drivers for Windows Server 2003

    Just bought a HP Laserjet Enterprise M553dn and was able to install the drivers for Windows Server 2003 x 86 driver disc supplied with the printer, but I cannot locate the drivers for Windows Server 2003 x 64.

    I checked the site hp.com, but what they have there is PCL5 x 64 drivers, which gives me a 'printer driver is not installed. Message operation could not be completed.

    Just for fun, I tried to download the drivers for PCL6 Windows 7 x 64, and trying to set up the printer with these, but it gives me a message "Windows is unable to locate a suitable printer driver.

    Where can I find the Windows Server 2003 PCL6 drivers x 64?

    Thank you!

    As any pcl6 driver will work, why not just load any pcl6 64-bit driver that is built into the operating system.  Simply choose hp on the left and choose any color laserjet 64-bit driver on the right.  If none is available, download the driver 64 bit hp universal pcl6.  When loading the driver do not have system autodect the printer but load the driver manually.

  • Windows Server 2003 and MSXML 6.0

    I need to install MSOffice 2010 on a server that is running Windows Server 2003 SP2, unfortunately I encounter the error:

    The installation program is unable to act because of the following error:

    The installation of MSOFfice 2010 requires MSXML version 6.10.1129.0 to be installed on your computer.  Install this component and restart the installation.

    Fairly straightforward error message, I have so from Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0 Service Pack 1 and went to install this.

    Unfortunately, I encountered a problem when trying to install MSXML6.0, which is:

    This installation package is not supported by this processor type, contact your product provider.

    I guess I'm trying to use an incorrect version of the MSI, but I can't seem to find anything other than:

    msxml6_ia64.msi

    msxml6_x64.msi

    msxml6_x86.msi

    Who all seem to not what I'm looking for, I tried google MSXML 32 bit but without much luck.

  • Wireless AP do not communicate with Windows Server 2003 box on the cable network

    I have a wired network which has 2 PC under Windows 7, 1 PC Windows XP Pro, 2 LAN printers and a Windows Server 2003 as customers.

    The network through a switch and a router Comcast of class business.

    I am trying to add a wireless network access point and when I do the AP and the box of Windows Server 2003 are unable to speak / ping each other, even if strangelyboth of devices are able to communicate with all devices and clients on the network. These two will be just talk to each other. It doesn't matter if I use an access point or wireless router. Any wireless device attached with a cable of the switch won't talk on the server and vice versa.

    Laptop wireless connected to the AP take a DHCP of the router/modem Comcast address and can get on the internet, they just can't see the server as cable customers can. Any suggestion would be appreciated to grreatly.

  • Impossible to logon to share the folder with "User must change password at the next logon" in Windows Server 2003

    I use Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 as a file server.  I create new user 'A' in Windows Server 2003 as well with the option "user must change password at the next logon" selected and give way under the group users and users in the domain for this user.  I then share an output folder.  User 'A' is using Windows XP SP3 to connect to this shared folder.  However, when I try to connect, Windows reappear to enter user name and password.  I think it is the limitation in Windows that the user 'A' will be unable to change the password at the next logon or change password at any point in time at all.  Correct me if I heard wrong.

    If possible, can someone enlighten me what is wrong or what I need to do for user to access folder and change the password on the first logon.

    If what I described is not possible, is there another way for me to configure for the user to access share folder so that the user doesn't have to join domain or user of the AD?

  • Need driver Audio for Windows server 2003 for the INSPIRON 1545 laptop

    Hi all

    I need Audio and video drivers for my new laptop computer Inspiron 1545 laptop. It now supports drivers for Vista, XP and Windows 7 only.

    I installed Windows server 2003 to install SAP. But I am unable to get the sound.and not able to install video and audio drivers.

    Please help me how to get these drivers.

    Thanks in advance,

    Delphine.

    Delphine,

    This is how it was done before Vista. There could be a better way now.

    1 enable the Windows Audio Service. (This should already be activated in 2003 Standard Edition). For other versions:

    Go to start/run and type "services.msc" and press the 'Enter' key (or click on 'ok'). The Services window appears. Scroll down the page until you find "Windows Audio" to the bottom of the list. Double-click on it and change the type of startup to automatic, and then click Start, apply, then OK.

    2. download and install the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 KB901105 update from this page of Microsoft:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=901105

    3. restart.

    4 install the audio driver for Windows XP. If you have trouble to install it using Windows XP compatibility mode.

    5. set the hardware acceleration DirectX:

    Click Start/run and type "dxdiag" and press the 'Enter' key (or click on 'ok'). Go to the Audio tab and move the slider to 'Level of hardware acceleration Sound' at full speed.

    (Thanks to kovacsAtTiLa of a site called west - wind.com.) He posted critical information, the link to the patch from Microsoft).

  • How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

    I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

    I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

    (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

    1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

    2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

    This one is for external access to the Internet:

    And this one for intranet communications AD:

    3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

    For Internet access:

    Then, you need allow this connection to share:

    And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

    4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

    5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

    6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

    7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

    Continue with steps [5-7].
