Print Spooler Error in Windows 7 under Boot Camp
BACKGROUND:
A few months ago I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro (13″ Unibody running Snow Leopard). Yesterday I decided to try and boot into my Win7 Boot Camp partition via VMWare Fusion v2.03. Doing this installed VMWare tools to Windows 7.
PROBLEM:
Today, when I booted directly into my Windows 7 partition (not via VMWare), I noticed that I couldn’t print anything anymore.
I checked the Event Viewer and found the following error in the System log:
The Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly.
In the Application section of the Event Viewer, I found the following:
Faulting application name: spoolsv.exe, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bd3d1
Faulting module name: TPVMMon.dll, version: 2.0.51.5, time stamp: 0x48359080

The only thing I could attribute the Print Spooler issue to was VMWare Fusion.
I tried uninstalling the VMWare Tools program listed in the Control Panel > Uninstall Program section, but it would not remove. No errors were displayed, but the program wouldn’t remove from the Programs list.
SOLUTION:
I deleted the following folder (and all related subkeys) from the Registry (via Start > Run > regedit):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetContro lPrintMonitorsThinPrint Print Port Monitor for VMWare]
