I know there are other questions relating to the print spooler in Windows 7 but they do not help me. I do not even have a printer connected. The mesage on the services reads as follows:
<Failed to Read Description. Error Code: 1813 >
This is imbedded in the SPOOLER file and will not allow any change. The spooler is on automatic so it is not a question of manual start up.
I have updated drivers for the printer that I would install and although they are sitting on my drive they can not be installed as the spooler fails to run.
There is supposed to be a FIXIT somewhere but everytime I click on the link I go to some other site full of advertising which just annoys me even more.
Please can we have a simple patch (i.e. think of your customers!) not all of us are IT professionals or live in a teeming city.
