Printer Spooler Crashes

Printer Spooler Error
Hello all.  Been working with Windows 7 for the last 3 days now, and I keep getting a Spooler Subsystem App error upon start up.  I tried to manually add a printer and got the 0x000006be error after I tried to manually start the print spooler.  I'm using a HP photosmart 7660.  I know there is no Vista driver for the printer and I am using the vista workaround in my Vista install.  I tried using that work around in Win 7 to no avail.

Purge All Jobs From Printer Spooler
What is the best way to purge all jobs from your printer spooler without having to restart?  The cancel job option within the print queue does not always cancel the current job.  Windows 7, as with Windows Vista, does not provide an option to immediately stop and cancel all the jobs.  If you try to the use the troubleshooting wizard - good luck, 10 minutes later and the thing is still clocking.  There has to be an easy way to stop and purge all print jobs immediately. 

My PC - Dell XPS with a i7 965 @ 3.20GHZ, 6GB ram, running Windows 7 Ultimate RTM edision.

Printer Spooler Service Missing
I have just installed Windows 7 RC

My printer a Canon LBP5000 does not have an x64 driver but on searching forums I have seen recommendations to try the HP generic driver or Canon LBP 5050 or 5360.

However when I try and install the driver I get a 'printer spool service missing"

I have gone into services and get error 3 when I try and start it:"could not find path specified".  I note there is no path in the path line.

Can someone please advise how I install a path for the printer spooler?

Homegroup Printer Offline, Requiring Restart Of Print Spooler
I just got a new computer (Desktop2) at home, running Win7 Home Premium and have encountered an odd problem.  I was able to connect and install two printers, shared via homegroup on Desktop1 (Win7 Ultimate).  The printers are a Canon ip4200 and a Samsung 1710.  Both are connected to Desktop1 via USB.  The Canon uses bidirectional communications and the Samsung does not.

Can't Install Or Add Printers, Spooler Crash
Problem:  Unable to add printer, print, connect to network printer Cause: Installation of "Pharos Popup 7.2" possibly incompatible or scripted incorrectly for compatibility with Windows 7 Errors:  Network Printers: "Windows couldn't connect to the printer. Check the name and try again. Local printers will cause spooler to stop most times after installing or cause error at install. Error is really generic and non-helpful for the local ones. 

I would like to (without reinstall Windows) rip out all the cab files that could have been possibly replaced, any files associated with printing, registry settings, config files, inf files etc. And reinstall files/drivers from cd. Basically reinstall just printing support on Windows 7 to a clean state with no printers. 

Haven't found a good guide to do this yet. When I figure out how to do it I plan to create a vbscript or some other automation file to fix this for multiple computers because I know this will happen to more people as I have been able to successfull recreate the problem on two computers.  Unless that already exists.

Print Spooler Service - Spoolsv.exe - Remote Ports / TCP Connections
I've just noticed this service is using some local/remote ports allocated in the "Dynamic and/or private" range ports, which by definition, no ports can be registered in this range.

Is this by design or do I have to re-check for spyware?

Sfc /scannow Found Corrupt Files - Print Spooler Service Job Error
In an attempt to fix the service job 'Print Spooler' which was not starting, I ran scf /scannow and the logs report

"Cannot repair member file [l:20{10}]"tcpmon.ini" of Microsoft-Windows-Printing-StandardPortMonitor-TCPMonINI, Version = 6.1.7600.16385,pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 (9), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type neutral, TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral in the store, hash mismatch" 

I managed to get the Epson printer to install (although that might stay fixed if the issue reported on the windows Resource protection is not resolved. Is there any way to fix "tcpmon.ini"?

EXPLORER.EXE Crashes, MMC.EXE Crashes, Moviemaker.exe Error
I want to love Win7 so badly, but this is just crazy. I'm about to go back to good old XP, simply for the stability. I'm about fed up with Windows 7 after only using it for two weeks. Off of a brand new and formatted clean install, with only Norton NIS 2010, Itunes, Adobe Reader, and Firefox 3.5.7 installed, I get constant explorer.exe crashes.

Shortly followed by an mmc.exe crash, then it just gets caught up in a never-ending explorer.exe crash that only a reboot resolves, for a short time. All drivers are up to date, and all Win 7 updates have been applied.

I've even formatted and re-installed Win7 only to have explorer begin crashing a day later. This is all on a stock Dell Inspiron 545 quad core, 8GB RAM, etc. I'm very tech savvy and am about jump off of the Win 7 bandwagon. Maybe the Apple Mac commercials are correct, another fumbled attempt at a stable OS from Microsoft?

After extensive reading, it appears that many others are suffering through this ____ also. Some get it while attempting to right click any icon, some when launching apps, some, like me , for no apparent reason at all. I don't ever get the BSOD, but the computer is essentially non-functional due to explorer restarting all the time.

I've done a ton of reading and have tried sfc /scannow, which found no errors. I've tried shellexview, to no avail for the context handlers. I've uninstalled and re-installed all non-MS apps. I've tried everything that I've read, and it eventually starts crashing again. It is very random, and I can find no patterns that cause the explorer crashing.

It works for two days, then goes haywire. Sometimes it only works for an hour before the explorer crashes begin. And yes, this is a fully licensed and legal copy of Win 7 Pro that I purchased through CDW. A side note, this computer ran WIN XP perfectly. All hardware has been tested and is perfect. If anyone has found a fix for this issue, then please chime in! Below are the errors that populate the Event Viewer:

Activation context generation failed for "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryMovieMaker.Exe".Error in manifest or policy file "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryWLMFDS.DLL" on line 8. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested.

Crashes When Loading Up Certain Programmes
Ive just installed Windows 7 on my machine. Running an AMD dual core 3800+ with 4.0DDR2 and GForce 9750GT

On the initial installation, just before you have the option to set up user name- the screen went all blue with lots on small black horizontal line across. It hung for a few mins and eventually I had to manually re-start. Off to a great start!!

Anyway once it re-booted and after it had checked for the intial first use and graphics, I managed to get in to the system and successfully load onto the desktop. Continued through windows update and there was some updates for my graphics cards. After this I went to Nvidia's site and downloaded the 124mb file Windows 7 64 bit file.

All this downloaded and installed ok, however, whenever I try to open a media file, Windows media centre it'self and msn messenger, the screen freezes and seems un recoverable. I haven't installed any other programes yet, but I can only assume it's something to do with the graphics card?

remember this happened before I managed to even load the OS propperly for the first time...does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be at all and a possible solution?

SLI Crashes, Drivers
I just installed the Windows 7 Beta and installing all the drivers and software were a breeze. I was pretty amazed at the performance compared to Vista. My boot-times were about 20% faster than Vista and the "Aero" effect appears smoother for me. One problem i encountered was that I could not run any games including Counter-Strike:Source and Crysis without locking up. I have a pair of 8800's paired up in SLI and all the spec's are running in stock clock. Does Windows 7 not support SLI at the moment? I am running the NVIDIA 181.22 WHQl Drivers.

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD Crashes
I'm getting regular (every hour or so) BSOD crashes with the following details:

This was likely caused by the following module: hardware

Bugcheck code: 0x124 (0x0, 0xFFFFFA80047BE038, 0xB2000040, 0x800)
Error: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

I run Vista x64 with a 100% stable system that I've extensively stress tested so I know there is no 'real' hardware issue.

Am I correct in assuming this is a driver issue? If so, is there any way I can isolate the driver?

Frequent Crashes, BSoD
I recently built a pc for my nephew but had to leave installing windows to him because of a hardware issue (video card was doa, had to ship it back to newegg). Well, we've had problems with it since installing and have even gotten a couple blue screens in the process (error codes below).

The first couple of times he tried to install it he had issues where it would freeze mid install (he eventually got through the install by switching to a ps/2 mouse and keyboard instead of usb, for whatever reason this worked). After installing though he said he has had problems with seemingly random crashes. I had him make sure all drivers were installed, but I suspect we are still having some sort of hardware issue (possibly the mobo?). Can anyone help with the blue screen error reports below:

Problem signature:

Constant BSoD Crashes
'Hanging onto Windows XP? See what you're missing.', says Windows 7 ad...

Sorry for this dramatic intro, but those BlueScreens have become too frustrating, and they are everything I'd been missing before. My machine is less than 3 years old. From the beginning I have XP onto it.

Then, I installed Vista, but after experiencing constant crashes (BSoD), I downgraded it back to XP. Recently, I decided to give Windows 7 a chance. Before that, I ran Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor just to be sure, and everything passed OK. All the devices were rated as compatible, just as my system (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual 4600+, 2.41 GHz, 1 GB of RAM; Radeon X1600 graphic...).

I installed fresh copy of Windows 7, but the same thing is happening - BSod, BSod, BSoD and BSod only - up the 5 minutes after Login. Just like that! I have only updates and drivers over Microsoft update installed. Nothing else! This are only six crash analysis (of many) within past week:

On Sun 11/8/2009 3:19:30 AM your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: win32k.sys

Internet Explorer 8 Crashes
I´m using the internet explorer 8 and windows 7 32bit. After logging in and opening ie8 (taskbar) the system crashes and a bluescreen is following, no matter if any other programs were running or only the ie8.

When I open Mozilla firefox or opera at first and run the ie8 after one of them, the system is running without any problems.

BSOD - I Had Been Having Regular Crashes
Hey Tom's! I hope everyone is well. I'm returning to the community with a problem I was having before. I have just upgraded from Windows 7 RC to Win 7 32 bit Enterprise Edition with no problems. Did a fresh install and had it formatted.

Just got my first BSOD/crash, and I had been having regular crashes (about once every 4-5 days) I don't think it's hardware related, probably driver, so I was hoping people could help narrow it down and kill this problem for good.

Here's the text of the BSOD:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name:BlueScreen
OS Version:6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.4

HP Crashes When Streaming Video
My venerable V2401cl works well with Win7, but crashes the web browser (Firefox, IE8, and Chrome) and Windows, usually freezing the screen, but sometimes producing a Blue Screen of Death.

I see the behavior on Hulu.com, Youtube.com and Flip.tv, usually after a few minutes playing.

I have installed the ATI/AMD updater "9-11_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu"

http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?driver=VideoCard/win7-64-suite

...and the latest Flash.

My Presario v2401cl is in the Compaq v2000 family of laptops and features an AMD 64-bit 1.8Ghz Turion microprocessor, 512MB of original Compaq-installed RAM

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00541065&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2100&product=1158570

... oh, and I saw this same behavior in WinXP_SP3, which is one reason I updated to Win7.

Except for this problem, I have enjoyed the Win7 update experience. I also use the laptop for actually work-related purposes.

Hotmail Crashes Computer
I was using hotmail when I clicked on my address book and the computer crashed. White screen with vertical lines showing. Totally unresponsive. I had to manually shut the computer down using the button on the front of the computer, alt-control-del did nothing. After multiple reboots I am unable to access hotmail. IE8 simply times out when I try to navigate to their site.

All other internet sites seem to work fine. I am running Windows 7 RC 32-bit version Avast free with an amd athlon 3500+ 2 gigabyte RAM ATI Radeon xpress 200. I recently enabled ECN on this computer, I wondered if this might have had anything to do with the problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Explorer Crashes Constantly
I did an upgrade from vista home premium x64 to Windows 7 home premium a couple weeks ago and ever since, my Windows Explorer crashes at least 15-20 times a day.  Sometimes it happens when I am in Explorer, sometimes some other application will crash and I'll see the little window saying that Windows Explorer has stopped working and is looking for a solution to the problem (but there never is one).

I have an HP e9150t desktop  (product: NY810AV#ABA) with a i7 920 processor, 6 GB RAM that is just six months old. I have an Nvidia GTS250 graphics card.  All drivers and software versions are up to date.
