Spooler SubSystem App problem

[Rob]

When setting up the Home Network for two PC with Windows
XP, I get the following message:

Spooler SubSystem App has encountered a problem and needs
to close

Why? What can I do?

Greetings Rob,

First, take a look at the following MS KB article before following these instructions. Try stopping the spooler service before setting up the home network. Here's what you do.

1. Open a command prompt window.

2. Stop the spooler service - type "net stop spooler"
(without quotes) and hit the ENTER key.

3. Then setup the network. After you finish then you can restart the service.

NOTE: You can restart the spooler service by typing "net start spooler" (without quotes) or rebooting the machine.

Here's the MS KB Article:

Spooler Subsystem App Has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close" and "Operation Could Not Be Completed" Error Messages

Let us know how it works.

Eric:

It did work, and it shows the other PC, but when I try to
access it I get the following message


\\Compaq (the other PC) not accessible. You might non
haver permission to use this network resource. Contact
the administrator of this server to find out if you have
permissions.
