Or maybe I should say what's the prize if I do? OK, it had better be a good one - JM uses Mozilla sometimes but he's got Win ME.

67735	2002-08-06 10:13:00	Susan B, thanks for that I'll watch out for JM... I've been trying Mozilla out in place of IE so far so good... As for kitty... she'd better like me we're sharing the bowl tonight!! Cheers, Babe.	Babe Ruth (416)
67736	2002-08-06 22:28:00	Leo, Not sure if you have also tried the following: its sounds like it's time for some system spring cleaning . SPOOL32's job is to spool the print jobs to disk so as to quickly free up the application(s) . If you have LOTS of temporary files under C:\Windows\TEMP or other temporary areas (e . g . C:\TEMP, etc . ) you WILL have problems printing and you may start getting problems installing software etc . At some point Windows runs out of ideas on creating and naming temporary files (files that may start with a '~' (tilde) and or end with ' . tmp') hence start having issues . . . ************************************************** ****** Try: 1 . Boot your PC into SAFE mode - this ensures very little is started in the Windows sense . See SafeModeBoot_FAQ ( . co . nz/thread . jsp?forum=1&thread=21833#58781" target="_blank">pressf1 . co . nz) 2 . Within Explorer, clean out the 'temp' folder(s) (SHOULD be safe to delete all the files and folders within that temp directory{folder}) See DeleteTempFiles_FAQ ( . co . nz/thread . jsp?forum=1&thread=21793#58441" target="_blank">pressf1 . co . nz) 3 . Run SCANDISK to repair any FAT/FAT32 disk problems . START | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | ScanDisk 4 . Run DEFRAG to defragment the files and directories on your harddrive . START | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Defragmentor Finally reboot your PC . NOTE: the above Scandisk / Defrag process may take a while to complete After rebooting the PC see if the issue has gone away . ************************************************** ****** Also you can try the following: Disable Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spooling for your printer by following these steps: a . Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers . b . Right-click your {XYZ} printer, and then click Properties . c . Click the Details Tab, and then click Spool Settings . d . In the Spool Data Settings box, click RAW . e . Click OK, and then click OK again . ************************************************** ****** Post back when you have been through these processes Cheers, Babe .	Babe Ruth (416)
67737	2002-08-07 22:04:00	Thank you very much for your helpful advise with my problem.	Leendert (1322)
67738	2002-08-07 22:26:00	Leo, When you have tried my suggestions post back here (or email me direct) with the result(s) good/bad/indifferent. I may have some more advice for you. Cheers, Babe.	Babe Ruth (416)
67739	2002-08-09 04:30:00	Hi Babe I've done all you suggested but it made no difference. What a pity, however further suggestions will be very welcome. Regards Leo	Leendert (1322)
67740	2002-08-09 04:54:00	Leo, The other thing I haven't asked is what Antivirus software you use. Babe.	Babe Ruth (416)
67741	2002-08-09 08:34:00	I use Norton Systemworks 2002 Professional Edition Regards Leo	Leendert (1322)
67742	2002-08-09 09:54:00	Leo, I have sent you an email with an attached Winzip file with an updated spoolss . dll (spooler dynamic link library) file and a ReadMe text file inside . The following is the text of the readme: (NOTE: This Spool32 Invalid Page Fault error fix is for Windows98/98SE ONLY and is NOT guaranteed to work for YOU) FIRST: Use the WinZip program to unzip the Windows ME system spool dynamic link library file from the ZIP file (SPOOLSS_DLL . ZIP) to the hard drive folder C:\NUSPOOLSS(note this is NOT a mistake, basically we are going to replace the Win98/98SE spools dll file with the WinME one) NEXT: * The easiest way to update the SPOOLSS . DLL on a Win98 box is to use the System File Checker . * Click Start | Run | type in SFC and click OK * From within SFC select "Extract One File From Disk" * Type SPOOLSS . DLL in the filename box and click Start * In the "Restore From" box type the location of the SPOOLSS . DLL that you extracted the file from the zipfile (i . e . . C:\NUSPOOLSS) * The "Save File In" box should say C:\Windows\System (If you have installed Windows in a different folder than C:\Windows then replace that part of the path name with your folder . ) * This will prompt you to backup the old file to the C:\WINDOWS\Helpdesk\SFC folder Click OK * A message box may come up "The backup folder does not exist create it" Click YES * Click OK to "File Successfully Extracted" message * Click CLOSE on the SFC main window * Restart the computer . FINALLY: REBOOT and TEST . . . Cheers, Babe .	Babe Ruth (416)
