Hi Steve,

problems with printer drivers can result in a protection fault in
spoolsv.exe (which is the spooler-process).
I suppose it happens when printing some kind of document to a specific
printer.
Try to detect the driver and use an other one.

You can change entries in the service-details of the spooler service
("recovery?" ), so it starts automaticly after being killed..
Set all three combo-boxes to "restart service" and the time for restarting
to 0 minutes.
You can test it with the taskmanager. When killing spoolsv.exe it will
restart immediately.

I'm sorry that i can't give you the exact descriptions, 'cause I use a
german windows-version.

Good luck

Dieter
