I have problem on my laptop running Windows 2000 Professional. Everytime I turned on the laptop it give me an error on SPOOLSV.exe. when I tried to print I could,'t print at all and it can't find any printer even I had the printer added in there before. when I look at spooler print, it's not started even it set to start auotmatically. I can muanually started the spooler print, it will start and I will see all the printer again, butwhen I click on one of those printer SPOOLSV.exe appear again and spooler print will be turn off again

Any suggestion are greatly appreciated.
