I keep getting four event logs every 5 seconds relating to a print spooler being unable to start with a Registry Key entry. I have deleted all my printers and reinstalled them and they all appear under th same User in the registry which isn't the one showing the error. I have tried to delete the relevant system key but it keeps recreating itself. The Error i get is below

Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-SpoolerWin32SPL
Date: 10/06/2008 15:52:37
Event ID: 4
Task Category: None
Level: Warning
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: DARWEN-FS01.darwen.brookhouse.net
Description:
The print spooler failed to reopen an existing printer connection because it could not read the configuration information from the registry key S-1-5-18\Printers\Connections. The print spooler could not open the registry key. This can occur if the registry key is corrupt or missing, or if the registry recently became unavailable.

I just don't know what is causing it as microsoft suggest a corrupt printer but all have been reinstalled and all work fine. It doesn't prevent users using them but makes the system log damn impossible to search.
