spoolsv.exe Errors on Win2K + SP3

by achen2002 . Updated 23 years, 9 months ago

I am getting the following error in more than 10 computers:
==========================
spoolsv.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created.
==========================

I did some research on MSKB, Q312052 is the only article which matches the problem, but it did not fix it.

Later on I searched the newsgroup, it looks like the same problem is happening on many other people, some of them indicated it only happens on Win2K machines after SP3 is installed . After that I noticed it’s the same thing in my network — This only happens to computers with Windows 2000 + SP3.

I tend to agree on that because I never have this problem before SP3 was applied. I believe this is somehow to do with service pack 3. However this problem did not happen immediately after SP3 was applied, SP3 was applied about three weeks ago and all computer worked peaceful until we had the first spoolsv.exe problem some timelast week.

Which makes me think, this problem happens only on Win2K machines with SP3, however SP3 is not actually what *causes* this problem, there should be some other failaure on the network or printer server caused this.”

I appreciate anysuggestion, I will release the point if the solution helps me to solve this problem.
