I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. My HP printer was running Ok but has suddenly stopped. The Print Spooler service is not running and I cannot get it to restart. Services shows "<Failed to read Description. Error Code: 1813>"

When I try to start the service I get Error 1053:

I have unistalled the printer and tried to reinstall, but this will not work as the spooler is not running. Microsoft website recommended Registry Booster to fix this, but that has not worked

Already tried downloading the tool from the link suggested, but this could not fix the problem.
