Re: Print Spooler server Error

scroll down to Using System Restore to Undo Changes

I know it's unreliable, but it's perhaps worth a try. Back up
first in case a Restore renders the system unbootable.

Alternatively, you can see which Windows Updates were
recently installed and uninstall them one at a time, checking
to see if your problem is resolved.

Thanks for the speedy reply - do you mean by using the 'restore' option,
because to be frank I've never had any success with that - it's always failed
to work properly.
Or were you referring to something else

Probably another poorly-tested Windows Update.

Try rolling back if you can and see if the problem
goes away.

Recently my laptop refuses to go into standby mode. If I close the lid to
put
it into standby I get a message that says "Print Spooler Server is
preventing
machine entering standby mode. Please close print Spooler.exe and try
again"
If I look at all running services, it's true the print spool server exe
file
is still showin as using 50% resources, if i close that service the
computer
will enter standby mode as asked, but that is pretty inconvenient. Can
anyone
tell me why this has suddenly happened (laptop is about 10 months old) is
an
Acer Aspire 5630 and I'm using XP Windows media edition which came with
the
laptop. Everything else is okay. All actual printing on this computer is
done
via home wireless network.
thanks
