spoolsv.exe application Error that just will not go away
I am laptop that is running on Windows XP and recently I upgraded it to Service Pack 3 and installed a new printer. After that I am getting the below error message constantly:
Spoolsv.exe - application error
The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written".
It will happen on boot and if you try to start the print spooler under services. I am also getting some more errors about components of spool failing. I have done many things but nothing is solving the case for me. Can anyone please help.Thanks

You might be having some Permissions issues in the Spool folder, so check the below article on how TO Move the Spool Folder in Windows XP:

After you have deleted the spoolsv.exe you also have to delete the associated .dll file spoolss.dll. Delete both of those then reboot they will automatically be replaced on reboot, check if this works for you.
