Default Spoolsv.exe error then windows not loading

Had some minor issues weith a mouse driver, re-installed, re-booted PC, then
slow to start, Loading personal setting shown, then desktop wall paper,
further delay then spoolsv.exe error, followed by failed to load catsrv.dll
and inetcom.dll.

Task bar momentarily came up and vanished, no windows icon buttons
work,except Ctrl displays location of mouse cursor.

Have done repair to windows (XP with SP2)using second R option also sfc. I
can get Task Manager on screen and run a task from there ie. correcting date
which had gone back to 01-01-2000 (UK setting), if I try safe mode, same
issues black blank screen displaying in safe mode nothing else, ideas please.

Hi Yogi,
I did not unfortunatly write it all down, but it did refer to "Spooler
Subsystem"
Via task manager I can few everything on the computer, have checked services
settings against my second PC, on Task manager it shows 36 processes running,
at 82% CPU, all files are loading that are shown in msconfig.

Mike,
Try this - Start->run and type services.msc and click on OK in the window
that opens, in the right pane, scroll down and you will find a service by the
name print spooler. Check to see if the statrup type of this service is
automatic or not. If not you need to change it to automatic. To do this right
click on it and click on properties. Then in the startup type drop down
choose automatic and click on apply and then ok. Now restart your computer
and check if the problem reoccurs.

Tell me if this helps
