The "print spooler" service appears! Should I or should I do not re-write tcpmon.ini? Hi Saltgrass and Trouble, thanks for staying there and discussing the best possibility. I notice that yesterday after executing
sfc /scannow I forgot to reboot my laptop afterwards (silly mistake, I am very sorry). Today morning when I have turn it on (for the first time after executing
sfc /scannow) I notice the miracle!
Now the print spool service is in the list of services and it is active!!
You imagine my surprise!! It was like beating Goliat! And it seems that I can add printers now. Although I haven`t tried yet because the printer that I want to add is a network shared printer that lies in my job, in the Physics Department of La Plata, Argentina; and I am today, sunday, in my home at Buenos Aires (60 km away). In my house I have a printer that I can connect directly to my laptop and see if I can add it and print with it but I am afraid that this sittuation is very far (not only physically
) from the one I want to do (add the network shared computer of my job). I haven`t re-wrote or repaired the tcpmon.ini file using the one from Trouble because I was so happy and I was afraid that this repair would "damage" now what I have achived! (I see that you guys discuss if it is better to do a Repair Install or to repair the tcpmon.ini file). I tell you what I have planed I might do:
Today 1) Connect the printer I have at my home to my laptop.
2) Try to add this printer to my laptop system
a.1 In case positive, smile and try to print a page
a.2 In case positive, smile, uninstall it (I do not need it) proceed tomorow in my work to try to install the network shared printer (the one I really need)
b. In case negative of one of the cases above proceed to rename my current tcpmon.ini file to tcpmon.old and then copy the one that Trouble sent to me.
3) In case negative of the above proceedures, then proceed to an Repair Install (with the help of you guys, because of the dual partition mode that I have requires special attention as Trouble forsees).
What do you think?
