The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Spool32 IPF/Kernel32.dll @D17f:bff7a388

Asked by aokj815 in Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: spool32

Welcome to my worst night/daymare!  Enter at your own risk! :)

My nightmare started approximately a year ago and to this day, I have been unable to find a solution short of blowing up my notebook and printers.  I sincerely hope that some has a miracle cure!

Here goes:

I have a Toshiba 4030CDS notebook, Win98SE, Lexmark Z52 printer (with the latest driver update, to no effect), 192 RAMM 30Gb HE, PCMCIA Card, Norton Anti-Virus 2001, Netscape Browser 7.2, Lotus 123 Millenium, Suite 7 Wordperfect, MS Office 2000, Excel 2000, Client Access 5.1, to name a few programs.

When I'm at home I use Sympatico High Speed and pcAnywhere to access a PCServer at work, that connects through to a AS400.  When I'm at work, I connect directly to the in-house network (for 10 years) and we use a dial-up ISP.

I use a Z52 at work as well as at home.  But, regardless which one I use, If I print a report that is longer that 2 pages, I get ... Spool32, my system gets hungup, the printer locks up.  The only way to release, is to power off the printer and re-start my system.

Sometimes, the system gets locked up so badly that I ahve to re-set my system which goes through the scandisk, then if all is OK, then it will reboot.

I've been using the same notebook / Win98SE for 2 years and the same Z52's for 3 years, with virtually no problems until last year.

My nightmare msg is:  (Regardless of the program that I use)

Spool32 caused an invalid page fault in Kernel32.dll at D17f:bff7a388
EAX=0069843c   CS=D17f   EIP=bff7a388   EFLGS=00010206
EBX=00001014   SS=0187   ESP=0112fbdc   EBP=0112fc00
ECX=2fff2fff   DS=0187   ESI=00699450   FS=486F
EDX=c17921f0   ES=0187   EDI=0ff00f0a8  GS=0000
Bytes at CS:EIP
89  41  08  8b  56  04  8b  46  08  89  50  04  8d  04  le  50

The above is then followed by:

LEXBCES performed an illegal operation (IPF at D17f:bff7a388), etc....then
LXACAP32, with a slightly different msg:
...illegal operation...executed an invalid instruction in module "unknown" at 0000:0064fc74

I have tried MS Solutions to Spool32, to no avail...
I have changed the printer settings, to no avail...
I have searched the internet for solutions, to no avail...
I have un-installed / re-installed my printer over 30 times (at least) to no avail...
I have installed other printers and still get the same msgs...
I have talked (many times) to Mircosoft, Lexmark, and Toshiba, to no avail...

At the office, when I direct reports to a Lexmark Optra S1822 laser printer, 4 out of 5 times, if the report is over 2 pages, I get those dreaded msgs...

I haven't found a cure for the curse yet!

HELP!!  I'm about to loose my mind...or at least what is left of it!!!

Any miracle would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
