service do not "stay" started childofthe1980s 12/4/2008 3:01:01 PM Hello: I have successfully added a printer to Windows Vista Business. No errors. But, I cannot get anything to print to the printer. The Spooler Service keeps stopping, despite the fact that I can successfully start it. I am logged in as the Domain Administrator since I added the computer to the domain. But, I have the Spooler Service started with the Local System account. I don't know if it is related or not. But, the funny thing is that the time of day will not "stay" either. I keep having to go into the Control Panel and change the time to the correct time. I have downloaded all of the updates. How do I get Vista's services to "stick"? The big thing is that I gotta get the printing working. I don't understand why Vista won't let me print if it did not have a problem with my adding the printer. Again, the Spooler Service keep turning off. It is set to "Automatic". childofthe1980s

Re: service do not "stay" started "Josh Phillips" <josh[ at ]windowsconnected.com> 12/5/2008 2:08:33 AM lol, you guys are cracking me up. Yes I need to learn to read, missed the whole automatic at the very end.. I have no idea what the slow down comment was about. Ok, so we really need to know from 80'sChild is if the service is erroring out. What does the system log say for this service? Any errors? -- Thanks, Josh Phillips http://windowsconnected.com http://twitter.com/JoshPhillips "Eddie Hyde" <edward[ at ]misterhyde.net> wrote in message news:5h0hj497knaj891b82liha4u6mb1a56ip0[ at ]4ax.com...
