I have a similar problem. I installed Vista SP1 yesterday. Today, I
started getting nastygrams after booting: "Spooler subsystem app stopped
working and was closed". The day before I installed SP1, I used the
Recovery drive to completely replace Vista (Home Premium) to a 'Factory
condition'. There's no printers connected to the PC, and no printers shown
in the Control Panel. The message appears following booting, and then about
every 5 minutes after I close it (the message). I've turned spooler
services on & off to no avail.
The only printer drivers are the ones that came with the O/S. How do I fix
this problem?

There is a corrupted printer driver somewhere in the system which is
causing the Spooler to fail.
