    print spooler service missing

    Hello,

    I caught a virus with my computer recently, I managed to delete it, but I have yet to fix a few things that have been caused to the system. I am currently a problem to install a printer. When I try to install it, I get an error message that says that the print spooler service is missing. I went to see the administrative tools and I did not find the service. I did a little research on the internet to find a solution, but in vain. I also tried to use net start spooler in start => run, but it does not work. So I suspect the virus to have affected the service and I am seeking your help to find a solution to my problem.


    Best regards,

    Reinstall the hard logic:
    Here is a possible solution if the manager does more disk partitions declared on your computer. A new document in Notepad copy the contents:
    Code:
    net stop dmadmin 
      net stop dmserver 
      start / wc: \ windows \ system32 \ dmadmin / svchost netsvcs / regserver / install 
      start / wc: \ windows \ system32 \ dmadmin / register 
      start / wc: \ windows \ system32 \ regsvr32 dmserver.dll / i / s 
      start / wc: \ windows \ system32 \ regsvr32 dmserver.dll / s 
      net start dmadmin 
      net start dmserver
