That really *is* a last resort!! - there's a lot more to try first (unless
you're in a tearing hurry! - and even then, it can be quicker to fix the
problem than to reinstall from scratch!)
First off - try replacing the spool32.drv file from the CABs.....
<quote>
Resolving spool32 errors can be quite time consuming and you may wish to
start
by having a look at the Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB 191949 - "How to
Troubleshoot Spool32 Error Messages"
(
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=191949).
You may also want to try replacing spool32.exe with a fresh copy from the
Win
Me cab set.
spool32.exe is contained in WIN_17.CAB of the Win Me cab set and can
be replaced by booting to Safe Mode and using MSConfig | General | Extract
File ... and following the prompts. The "cab" files are in the Win9x folder
on the Win Me CD and/or in a sub-folder of Windows\Options. See MS KB
265371 - "How to Extract and Replace a Protected File in Windows Me"
(
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=265371) for details of how to extract
files
from the cab set.
Finally you might want to consider using system restore to roll back your
system to a date before this problem started, provided, of course, that that
was not more than a few days ago.
