Error 3 The System Cannot Find The Path Specified Runescape
a message "Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified" and "Check that you have administrator privileges". I have an admin privileges. I checked spoolerproperties, the field "Path to executable" is empty (I think it should lead to system32\spooler\... but there is nothing). On the "Dependencies" tab,says that the service is depends on HTTP and RPC. Both of that are running. I've checked folder c:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ and there is nothing. I have also check in registry in HKEY_L_M\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\spooler for anyadditionaldependences; there is no any. I don't know what else I can do. Thanks in advance!

Running the Printer Troubleshooter may show that the Print Spooler service isn't running, and attempts to start the Print Spooler service manually via Services MMC or using the Microsoft Printer Troubleshooter Fix-It may turn out to be futile, showing up one of the following errors:Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/63252c4c-ebcd-4976-af5d-943897ecb616/cannot-start-print-spooler-service-error-3?forum=w7itprogeneral Local Computer.Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.-or-Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer.Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Obviously the first thing the user did was to run the Printer Troubleshooter Fix-It, and it did determine Spooler service http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/print-spooler-service-error-2-error-3-windows-7/ wasn't running, but was unable to fix it.There could be two possible causes for this error. 1) Spooler service registry settings are incorrect and/or 2) Some spooler modules missing (which SFC /Scannow could fix). First I had the user send me the Spooler service registry settings, and it showed:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Spooler

In case the ImagePath value exists but contains incorrect data (pointing to a non-existent file), it results in "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified." when starting the Spooler service.The problem was resolved by creating a value named ImagePath (of type REG_EXPAND_SZ) and setting it the following value data:%SystemRoot%\System32\spoolsv.exeRegistry Fix for Print Spooler servicLinks HelpWithWindows.com RoseCitySoftware.com Recommended Links Menu Log in or Sign up Search Search titles only Posted by Member: Separate https://www.windowsbbs.com/threads/error-3-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified.106862/ names with a comma.
