I am getting a spool 32.exe error randomly. Some times at boot up and other times it just pops up when working or on the internet. This is a brand new computer that I just built. Its a 900mhz PIII wiht 256mb ram ect.. . I have been unable to cure this one problem. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is causing this error and how to get rid of it.

Look in the system.ini and see if there is a line "load spool32.exe". (it is near the top)

If there is remove it and see if it goes away.

You might try going to the c:\windows\spool\printers and make sure nothing is in there. The way I understand it nothing should be in there if you haven't issued a print command.

Secondly, you might do a file\find and delete all of the *.tmp files.
