Does it 'Print Spooler' appear in the services list? If so then you can right click on it and click start or restart the service?

A few times it said it wasn't running and did I want it to and I clicked on OK. But it never did restart it.

Ok, what happend when you stop the service then start it again?

It wouldn't do it. It says it is stopped or not running. Then it will say do you want to start it and I click OK and it doesn't do anything.

Ok, try restarting in safe mode, just to see if it starts in safe mode or not, if it does you may have some driver/spooler conflict or possible spyware in your registry or startup items.
