I used to be the same way. But these days, the attitude of microsoft and
PC software developers in general is to release a buggy product and let the
end users do the final testing and debugging. I've found keeping up on
patches for PC stuff keeps things working more smoothly for the most part.

Try running the online "windows update" if it's available on the machine
and you have a fast enough 'net connection.

I keep seeing a Spool 32 error when we print the Cash Receipts report. It
is isolated to one PC. The problem is intermittent and only seems to happen
when we print to one of two different laser printers.

Which is to say, it will never be fixed since finding the cause is probably
impossible. But, you gotta ask.

Thanks.

I have only ever seen this with Win95 machines.
(We never really used Win98)
It seemed to happen more when trying to print something out of Vantage (go figure)
The problem is non-existent in WinNT and Win2000.
(It's how we fixed out problem)

There is a vicious triangle of anti-virus, OS versions, and printer drivers that make finding these kind of errors fierce, but not impossible. More details would help to track it down, ie. OS version, Anti-Virus version, printers & drivers info - what software are you printing from.... to name a few.

Do you have Norton antivirus installed and if so do you have it checking
an email client such as Outlook? There was a problem reported by
Symantec that caused a spooler problem when email checking was enabled.
If you do deactivate this feature. Norton's realtime protection should
be enough to protect your machine if a virus tries to write anything to
disk even in a temporary file. Hope this helps.

I am running Norton Corporate, but this machine doesn't have email. It is a
PC in accounting used to run Vantage only. It does however have the
original version of Win98, 4.10.1998. I never had a problem with this
machine and it never got updated to Win98SE with the others. I'm a firm
believer of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I will update the OS and see what happens.

Thanks.

For my $.02, several of our win95 and 98 machines had this happen
intermittently. I put spool32.exe in their startup folders, and haven't
heard a peep since. Don't know if this is a preferred fix or not, but it
works.
