Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: Question about 'Downloading Windows Updates' Monday, April 26, 2004 at 10:50 pm Posted by Jack Gulley (5917 messages posted) Try extracting a new clean copy of WinSpool.DRV from the C:\Windows\Options\Install\WIN_16.CAB folder (right click on the file, select Extract) and place it in the C:\Widows\System folder to replace the copy that might be corrupted. I would also recommend running SCANDISK and do a Thorough scan of the disk drive to correct any errors first.

Extracted file OK but how do I copy over existing winspool.drv file - can't overwrite, cut, paste etc into Sysytem folder when file is in use.
