Spoolsv.exe- Entry Point Not Found

[Ron]

Win2K, just upgraded to SP4. Get following error at boot
"Spoolsv.exe-Entry point not found.
The procedure entry point GetPrinterA could not be located
in the dynamic Link Library spoolss.dll."

Can't find any reference to this error in technet. I had
thought that maybe the DLL was corrupt so I replaced it
with a known good version, got same error. Was going to
back rev the dll but thought I check here first.

TIA
Ron...

Ron:

I have the same problem on a Win 2K PC (IBM NetVista) I just updated with
SP4 and other patches. All of my other Win 2K PCs are fine - only this one
shows that error message. All apps, etc. are the same across machines, and
the hardware is also the same.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Actually, take a look at:

Sounds like this predates Win2K.
