I am trying to install a printer on windows 7 but the print spooler wont start so i can't install I have accessed the services.msc menu and tried to manually restart the spooler it is at this point that it i get the error msg: Error 1053 Did not respond in timely manner etc . I have tried a computer restart but to no avail. What should I do as i have no printing capacity but i do have scanning?? Joe

The registry key seems OK. Can you run the system file checker to check for system file corruption - follow Option 1 in the folliwng link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html A system restore will not work in this situation as the printer never worked.

Print Spooler wont start windows 7 error 1053

I first had Vista installed, I formatted the C disk and then installed Windows 7.

There seems to be some duplication at that key.

Did the Print Spooler ever work and did you ever have a printer installed?

Also, was the Windows 7 installation a "clean install" or an install "over top" of a previous Windows installation?
