Hi guy's

I went on a call out today with somebody saying that none of their printers where printing so i went down there they had about 7 pc's doing the same thing.

ok so heres the problem.

whenever they / i tried to goto the printers folder be it by start -settings - printers (on some of the machines the menu continue to extend to give you a list of the printers all using Windows me) or through control panel it would freeze or just not display the folder.

so i thought ok i rebooted most of the systems, same problem

on ALL the pc's when i went to reboot them i was getting the end task windows on "spooler process" which took me to this post.

in which none of them really applied to me.

i was getting a blue screen on most of them about vredirect or something similar to that.


I did actually solve this problem by turning every one of them off and rebooting them one by one
but what i want to know what caused this across the whole network as if this happens again the problem is not really fixed.

many thanx mike
