this is most likely a long shot but has anyone heard of this error:

Spool32 ...an error has occurred in your program

then BSOD comes up, A fatal exception 0E has occurred @ 0028:c0005338 in VXD VMM(01) + 00004338

Anyone? ANY ideas?

This is from the microsoft site, perhaps it will help a little. Here is the link:

What program were you using when the error occured? I copied this text out of the page if you don't want to visit the site:

MORE INFORMATION
Spool32.exe is a 32-bit Windows 95 or Windows 98 component that manages the spooling of print jobs. Spooling allows the computer's processor to quickly process a print job by temporarily storing it on the hard disk before sending it to the printer. This allows the processor to return control to the program from which you are printing at a much faster rate than if the program were to process the entire print job and then send it directly to the printer. Spool32 error messages can occur if something is preventing the print job from being spooled correctly.

Disable all non-essential drivers and programs (this is known as a "clean boot"). To do this, follow the steps in one of the following sections, depending on your operating system.



Windows 98

*Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.
*On the Tools menu, click System Configuration Utility.
*Click Selective Startup on the General tab, and then click to clear the following check boxes:
Process Config.sys File
Process Autoexec.bat File
Process Winstart.bat File
Process System.ini File
Process Win.ini File
Load Startup Group Items
NOTE: You must reinstall the printer driver when you disable the Win.ini file because the printer and port information is stored in this file.
*Click OK, and then quit the System Information tool.
*(Restart your computer.

Actually that's a very commom problem
it has something to do with your Printer Spooler

so i guess it's best to uninstall your printer drivers

disconnect your printer

delete the printer from SAFE MODE and from Device Manager, also delete the LPT1 port

then reboot back to normal and see if that still happends

it is a problem occuring when you're trying to print something - it would be helpful if you gave more detail - when the error occurs are you trying to print from an application like word, etc. or what?
