Click on Add Printer and nothing happens

Nothing happens at all, no error or anything. Print Spooler is running, I've stopped
and started it with no luck. Spybot found some Spyware, which I removed successfully.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

When this error comes up it's due to a program you installed that replace the win2k
spooler.
Open Explore to c:\winnt\system32 and go down the list till you find the spooler
files,check the dates on the files,this will give you hint on what file to rename.
(most of win2k files will be dated 1999 any thing other should rename) spooler.ex_
,spooler.bak,etc.
You can also use the command sfc /purgecache this will also check the OS files.
(System File Checker)

Please revisit your post so that others on this forum will know if the solutions
were helpful or not helpful .

MORE INFORMATION about
Sfc /Purgecache
System File Checker gives an administrator the ability to scan all protected files
to verify their versions.
If System File Checker discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves
the correct version of the file from the cache folder (%Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache)
or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.
System File Checker also checks and repopulates the cache folder.
You must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group
to run System File Checker.
If the cache folder becomes damaged or unusable, you can use the sfc /scannow, the
sfc /scanonce, or the sfc /scanboot commands to repair its contents.
