It seems my computer has a virus. I am currently on a computer at a local internet cafe.I got a computer expert to try and fix my computer (after I did the RPC thing) but he couldn't do it.I tried to format Windows XP, but before the reinstallation of Windows XP could start, an error on a blue screen would come up saying there is a problem etc.And then, when I restart the computer, the keyboard turns off so I can't press F8 when the boot asks me whether I want to go to F8. So the clock counts down and the Windows setup starts (as I cant't press anything else to stop it or go to another option).Grrr.Thanks for all the help so far.ps, could it be a virus? First, thanks to all who posted this thread-You saved me the trouble of reinstalling Win XP! My problem and solution was slightly different, so I'm posting what I did, here:1) services.mscAs described above, I clicked Start, then run, then entered services.msc in the command line window.Print Spooler was turned off.
I did a fresh to my laptop. The previous window version I was using is Window 10 but after refresh it went back Window 8. I am ok to stick with Window 8 as it is more accepted by most of the Apps.
When I tried to restart it, I got'error 1068 - The dependency service or group failed.' Browsing through the properties of print spooler revealed that the spooler depends on the LexBCE service.2) LexBCE serviceLexBCE service was also in the 'services' list.When I tried to start it, I got'Error 2 - The system cannot find the file specified'Browsing dependencies showed me that LexBCE (whatever that is!) was looking for a tiny program, 'c:WINDOWSSystem32LEXBCES.EXE'3) Finding LEXBCES.EXEI used Windows explorer to search out LEXBCES.EXE, but no luck. It simply wasn't there.4) Restoring LEXBCES.EXE the kludge wayI went to another computer, and found LEXBCES.EXE; Downloaded it to a flash drive, and inserted it into the C:WINDOWSSystem32 directory.When it didn't work immediately, I restarted the computer-Voila! My entire list of printers reappeared, and it all seems to work again.Thanks again, everyone!My System:Hardware: Toshiba Tecra A7 laptop, 0.5 GB RAM + 80 GB HDD,Software: Win XP Pro, dual booting with Ubuntu Linux 9.10.
