one of three units in small office networked together. Got
virus in spite of Nortons anti virus. reloaded via
recovery cd win2K. Thought I had it all back together,
but noticed I didn't have printer anymore HP940C.
Attempted to "add printer", response "lack of resources.
Printer subsystem is unavailable". MS search yielded
issues with spooler service being available to local
system account (actually error 1068) but checked it out
just the same. when attempting to start service, response
is "could not start print spooler service on local
computer. Error 1077: No attempts to start the service
have been made since the last boot."

Bill,

Apparently after looking further, I have several services
that aren't starting up. I'm not sure why but when
attempting to start the ones that are supposed to be
automatic, they all yield the same 1077 error message as
below.

I saved a startup log and I don't have a clue what it's
trying to tell me or how to fixit. It is pasted below
and maybe you can see what it's doing. Thanks in advance.

We are kind of getting out of the realm of printing now. Start by making sure the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is
started. If it is not try to start it and see what happens. If it is then I would suggested searching our KB for "event id ####",
where #### is the event number. You may find some helpful articles about some of these messages. I would also
checking the following web site for information on Event IDs.
