Fix Internet Explorer Not Responding Error

Problem :

I have found that after several weeks of constant "not responding" messages while doing a search function on any of the three major search engines - when I made Google Chrome my default browser that all problems ceased.

But silly me...I continued to click on the "e" on my desktop to access the internet and that was going back to internet Explorer as the browser so I deleted all the "e" shortcuts from the desktop, task bars, etc and just click on the Google icon to access the internet and all worked out perfectly. I know that I didn't have to "delete" the "e" shortcuts but why leave clutter on the desktop if I won't be using them anymore.

Fix Printer Spooler Error

Problem :

Trying to share a printer on my XP PC with a Windows 7 laptop on our network - I am able to print a test page from the laptop, but when I try to print an e-mail, I get "Spooler Subsystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close." The only way I can clear it is to restart my PC.


Solution :

Check the following steps to fix printer spooler error :

Go to Start / Run and type in "services.msc" without quotation marks, then press Enter or click OK.

In the window that opens (Services) look for "Print Spooler" on the right

Right-click "Print Spooler" and select "Properties".

Click on the "Recovery" tab and change all 3 drop-down boxes to "Restart The Service".

Make sure the 2 text boxes underneath say "1" in them.

Click Ok until you are back at the Services window, close it and you're good to go.

Go back into the properties of the "Print Spooler" tab and be sure to click Start to restart the Print Spooler service and it will restart the service immediately.

The Print spooler depends on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service. Is this service disabled? Go to services.msc look for RPC. Check state: Automatic
