I have a problem with roaming profiles on my network and have found a suggestion in Microsoft's site that I need a new winspool.drv file. However, I cannot find the file anywhere. Can anyone help?

Depending on the OS: it is probably in the latest service pack (in the Win2K SP3 there is a winspool.drv dated 22-7-2002). I know it is also in the WinNT service packs.

Funny that microsoft states that Winspool.drv has something to do with roaming profiles, As far as i know it is a print spooler driver...

The problem is something to with the network printer service not allowing profiles to be saved before the system logs the user off.
According to Microsoft, the date of the file I need is 9-7-02. I am using SP6 for NT and the file in it is much older than I need. I was tempted to use the file from Win2K but I would rather use the correct one if I can.
Thanks anyway.
