[Nathalie Laroche]

my server is in many of his services, the printer server.

disapearing. when i try to get info, i click to add a

OUT OF RESSOURCES

Printer operation cannot continue due to lack of
ressouces. The print subsystem is unavailable.


I thought i had not enought memory, i added 1gig. but
still the same trouble.

Resources have nothing to do with memory. This is a common
mistake. Your PC resources are the IRQs and the DMAs.
Try to lighten up your server a little.
Why don't you make another server as printer server??

the spooler service has failed. This can be caused by a virus that can kill
dependency services or bad/corrupt print drivers.
here are a few articles

Out of Resources Error;The instruction at 'address' referenced memory at
'address'. The memory could not be read.
