[Mark]

I am trying to rerun network wizard and have been getting
the message "spooler subsystem app has encountered a
problem and needs to close down".
The details note 2 files, doc 1\owner\locals 1

Does anyone know what is wrong. Any help is greatly
appreciated

Greetings Mark,

A fix is available by obtaining the latest service pack for Windows XP.
Download and install Service Pack 2 (SP2). This will also ensure you are
protecting yourself against the latest security issues by downloading the
latest updates and fixes to known problems.

A workground is to open the command prompt and type:

net stop spooler

Then run the Network Setup Wizard. After the Network Setup Wizard, then you
can restart the spooler service. Open the command prompt and type:

net start spooler
