Unable to access printers folder

I am getting a spool32 stack fault in kernel32.dll message every time I try to access the printers folder or try to print from applications in Win98SE. The network printers installed are working fine. I have tried several things suggested on Microsoft to try to reslove this and some not recommended byMicrosoft but they have not worked. I have even tried reinstalling Windows over windows. I can’t remove the printers to reinstall the drivers to see if that fixes it because the message occurs as soon as I access the folder – any ideas?
