Cannot print after XP repaired clusters/files

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

After coming out of "standby" mode, I was experiencing problems and had to
restart. Upon restart, the computer went through the "scandisk" equivalent
and repaired some files/clusters (I cannot remember which files).

Now I cannot print from IExplorer or Adobe Acrobat (not sure which other
apps).

In IExpolorer, I can preview, but it crashes when I try to print.

With Acrobat, the app closes when I select print.

I did a system restore, however that did not help. I search MSKB and other
internet sites, but could not find a solution.

Is there anywhere that I can see the files that were afected? How can I
resolve the problem?

TIA,
Nigel

I agree. When Antivirus or scandisc programs 'repair' something, they
simple get rid of the cluster checksum errors. Thats doesnt mean the
repairing action sticks the right hexadecimal into the right bytes to
make the program/driver/data file work again. I would remove and
reinstall the printers drivers.

Your welcome. (Don't forget to reinstall all the critical updates -
necessary after a repair install and usually the most time consuming part.)
