    Click start, all programmes, accessories, with command prompt, if you right click it, is there a run as administrator option? If yes, click that then copy and paste this

    sc config spooler depend= RPCSS

    Then press enter

    Click start or restart, if that isn't possible, restart the PC

    re-booted and it,s started.
    Your ACE.
    I notice that link you gave , there was umpteen with the same problem.
    Still not certain it will allow Lex to instal as the spooler only showed to be off yesterday.
    That,s after several attempts to instal unsuccessfully without the spool error showing, but at least it,s one less step.
    I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your patience and help:beer:

    No problem, it's a two way street as I am learning new things too

    Thanks for the update

    Hope it goes well
  • WOW!
    Just read through this post.
    I’m always amazed at the help and advise we get on these pages, but this guy Santer deserves a medal for patience and understanding.
    Well done Santer.

    Trying to learn something new every day.

    UPDATE santer, installed c/d successfully according to dialogue box.
    However, and there,s always a but, It,s got everything except, no sign of a printer on network, and I get communication problem When I try anything to do with it. All cables are secure, re-booted twice, wouldn,t let me test print due to non communication.
    I wonder whether a re-instal, after uninstal, OR. downloading drivers from the lex downloads the other day, before spooler ceased to function??? What do you think?
