Cannot print in Windows 7 or see Pics in Outlook

Cannot print from Notepad or IE on a Windows 7 Pro machine... 'An error has occurred"

Cannot see pictures in Outlook... just a red bordered square with an X in it.

SFC /scannow yielded nothing.

Thoughts?

Consider, then, running a Windows 7 Repair Install. You need a working recovery partition or the Windows 7 DVD. Here is a Seven Forums tutorial to assist you..

Thank you John... I will definitely consider, but am going to hold off for, hopefully, a lesser evasive solution.

Can you print from other programs?

The issue is much broader than just printing. Outlook irregularities as posted are not related so far as I know.

You can always try uninstalling printers AND their drivers, restarting and reinstalling the same.

Much, much broader... Going to Device and Printers doesn't show a "printers" applet.   Trying to create a new user.

Ensure the spooler service is running.

Both the printer spooler server and Bluetooth services are running.

Try a new user account. Normally a corrupted user is also part of the corrupted operating system as well.

How is the printer connected to the computer?  USB, LAN, Bluetooth?

Checked event viewer for any errors?

The repair option John mentioned shouldn't do anything drastic to the Windows installation.
