I have a PC running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit that the print spooler will not run. Tried the following: Rebuilt the profile In cmd prompt type sc config spooler depend= RPCSS Then restarted the spooler. - This will allow the spooler to run for 30 - 60 secs before it stops again. When to system32\spooler\printers and deleted any files and did the same for and registry keys for the printer drivers. Ran a sfc scan - came back clean So far nothing has worked, there are 2 errors in the the Event Log Application Log: Faulting application name: spoolsv.exe, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce7aa85 Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce7b96e Exception code: 0xc0000374 Fault offset: 0x000c37b7 Faulting process id: 0x204 Faulting application start time: 0x01cc208664177a8c Faulting application path: C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll Report Id: b00a200c-8c79-11e0-ae43-bc305bcf9a7d System Log: Log Name: System Source: Service Control Manager Date: 6/1/2011 2:05:12 PM Event ID: 7034 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Description: The Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly.

Hi, From you description, I understand that spooler service crashes on your Window7 computer. Error code: 0xc0000374 is STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION, that means memory access violated. To narrow down the root cause of this issue, I would like confirm the folloing with you: 1. Was any third party program or driver update installed before this issue occurs? (Such as a virtual/physical printer) 2. Please remove the newly added printer and uninstall the relevant driver from the machine if possible. 3. Please upgrade the drivers for old printer.
