| | Help Trouble shooting Vista Error Message I keep receiving an error message: "Spooler SubSystem App stopped working and was closed." I was receiving this earlier and did a clean install of Vista and while the message didn't show up for a couple of days eventually it did show up again. The error message keeps popping up ever 2 or 3 minutes or so and is a real pain. I suspect it may be an incompatible app or driver but not sure where to start. Can anyone tell me what the Spooler SubSystem App is as that might help me identify the offending application or program? I'm running Vista RC1 on an HP TC1100 Table PC. |

| | Re: Help Trouble shooting Vista Error Message Hi, The spooler service is related to printing, so that is where the trouble lies. It may be a driver problem with the printer, or another service on which there is an interdependency may have failed. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Kevin Young" <ky-nntp@sent.com> wrote in message news:2A65B6F7-D4B0-4720-AB5E-A979EDDDFB49@microsoft.com... >I keep receiving an error message: "Spooler SubSystem App stopped working >and was closed."

| | Re: Help Trouble shooting Vista Error Message Thanks Rick. I'm guessing it may then have something to do with my Network Printers. Vista seemed to get stuck when adding those.
