tks PFLAG Atlanta. I unintentionally installed a bad driver from an old xp laptop. constant spooler.exe crashes resulted. Tried everything I could find on the internet to no avail. After renaming the file from safe mode, I am now connected to all 3 wireless printers on my home network. Life is good.

I had installed a bad printer driver that was not meant for Windows Vista and ever since then, the spooler would stop working periodically about five or ten minutes.What worked for me was renaming the existing folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\W32X86 to W32X86_1 (right-click on the folder and rename.

Now reinstall your known working printer. When asked if you want to keep the existing driver, say no install a new copy (not the recommended option in the dialog box) - the system recreates a new W32X86 folder without the offending drivers that are causing it to crash.

i tried to delete the drivers in the list in safe mode, but the printer and the driver still won't install.
however, i plug my printer in, it'll automatically install the new driver (as it detects new hardware).
but i'm getting the same errors after a while. it's so frustrating.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks - worked a treat. Great advice.

Thanks! My problem was due to a corrupted spool queue. Here's how I fixed it:

-Open up c:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS

-Delete the contents of the directory (not the directory itself).

-Retart the print spool service.
