I tried all the things listed in the replies above and nothing worked. What I had to do is put in the ME CD, Choose to Browse the cd, click on the Win9x folder, then choose the win_16.cab folder, find the winspool.drv, copy and paste it into the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder. Restart the machine.... and no more error! GOOD LUCK!

Well. Still no luck. I found the Cabs folder, but it was not in the Options folder. It was C:\Cabs Files in the Cabs folder were a variety of Virtual Device Drivers. I found another Cabs folder, entitled AuthCabs but it doesn't seem to relate to what we're talking about.

Help........

Good morning. I am having the same problem as these other users. However, I am unable to use the advice you gave. Within C:\WINDOWS\System is the winspool.drv file as you said. But there as an 'unknown application' and will not open. I attempted to copy the same file from the system32 folder right next door but that did not work either.
Any advice would be greatly appriated. I cannot print and some programs will not open because of this....help.....
