I was installing a network printer on a LapTop. As I
identified the printer using the wizard something happend.
The printer icon is there but everytime I right or left
click on the icon (I was trying to delete it since I
noticed a problem) I immediately freeze the computer and
after a while I receive a Spool32 Illegal Operation in
advapi32.dll message. I cannot delete it or access it. How
do I get rid of it? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Try running the routine to install the printer again. If it runs to
completion, you can then remove the driver through Control panel Printers
and Faxes, in the usual way, if you wish.

Let us know.
