Spool32 error message

When I start my computer the error message
" Spool32 has caused an error in SPOOL32.EXE
Spool 32 will now close
If you continue to experience problems try restarting
your computer"

restarting the pc does not solve the problem. I am running
Windows ME.....any ideas how to fix this.

Many thanks.....Alex

Resolving spool32 errors can be quite time consuming and you may wish to start
by having a look at the Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB 191949 - "How to
Troubleshoot Spool32 Error Messages"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=191949).

You may also want to try replacing spool32.exe with a fresh copy from the Win
Me cab set.

spool32.exe is contained in WIN_17.CAB of the Win Me cab set and can
be replaced by booting to Safe Mode and using MSConfig | General | Extract
File ... and following the prompts. The "cab" files are in the Win9x folder
on the Win Me CD and/or in a sub-folder of Windows\Options. See MS KB
265371 - "How to Extract and Replace a Protected File in Windows Me"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=265371) for details of how to extract files
from the cab set.

Finally you might want to consider using system restore to roll back your
system to a date before this problem started, provided, of course, that that
was not more than a few days ago.
