Occassionally when I am trying to print from a DOS program on a W98 machine I get the following error: "Spool32 caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff7b9ab"
Any suggestions?

This is a MS bug.
The only way to really get rid of it, is to turn off spooling.
Yes, this slows down printing, and "Hogs the CPU" for the printing time, but at least it works reliably.
