snap-in failed to initialize

I am using XP pro. Yesterday it gave me a spooler problem when trying to
print. I restarted the computer and it has now wiped out all the printers
there.

I cannot get into the services to see whether the spooler function needs to
be restarted as it gives an error message snap-in failed to initialise.

I wanted to restore and this function is just not there. In properties it
has been turned on, but if I go to Accessories it doesn't show.

I have been on the Help and Support, but the system restore wizard will not
start.

I would be grateful of any help.thanks

Hi Patricia,

You can start the Spooler service using the NET.. Command.

Click Start, Run and type:

cmd /k net start spooler

Press {ENTER}

Posting the exact error message and the GUID code would help.

hi Ramesh

It accepted this instruction and all printers were back in printer folder,
but then 2 secs later came up with message Spooler Subsystem App has
encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

It will not allow any printing to occur and will not cancel any printing
jobs pending. And the printer folder again appears to be empty.

If I go services.msc it gives the error message snap-in failed to
initialize. Name Services CLSID:{58221C66-EA27-11CF-ADCF-00AA00A80033}

hope this explains it better

Hi Patricia,

There are some Microsoft KBs that address the Spooler issue. Check:
http://www.google.com/search?q=Spooler Subsystem problem+site:support.microsoft.com

For the snap-in issue, try this:

Click Start, Run and type:

regsvr32 filemgmt.dll

Press {ENTER}

You should see the following output/message:

"DllRegisterServer in filemgmt.dll succeeded."

Click OK.

See if you're able to launch Services MMC now.

hi Ramesh

I looked at some of the solutions and from Article ID : 324757
Cannot get into services manager, but went and completed steps 2 to 11 but
could not follow step 13 as cannot access “manage†I have deleted one of the
printers and reloaded it, but it will still not print, it says that it is
waiting for info from the printer.

If I try to run the reg server it comes up with this error message
LoadLibrary(“filemgmt.dllâ€) failed – the specified module could not be found

I also cannot load pastel 2007 as it gives a run-time error message as it
cannot find WBtr32.dll. Are these problems all related?

Is it time to reload windows or is there some way I can run a repair

thanks
regards

Try including the full path, such as:

Hi Ramesh

I have sorted out the pastel 2007 problem by reloading pervasive v8.6 and
this has now sorted out the printer problem. I still can't get into file
manager, but at least the computer is now functional.

Many thanks
