Printer Problems Window 2000 Fix

This problem occurred after I had installed a new installation of Windows 2000 and then fully patched it using Microsoft’s Update site. (Good old Microsoft :-)) It took me hours to figure out what was causing the problem and I went down many blind alleys.

List of Symptoms.

1. Right click printer and select Properties no properties dialog is displayed.
2. Right click printer and select Printing Preferences an error is displayed.
3. In internet explorer the tool bar print button works but if you select FILE and choose PRINT from the drop down menu either an error is displayed or nothing happens.

Point 3 also happens in other installed software including Microsoft Office.

The problem is a missing/deleted file as far as I can ascertain the file was removed be Windows Update??????.

The required file is MSIMG32.dll. A copy of this file can be downloaded by [CLICKING HERE] .

Once downloaded unzip and place this DLL file into C:\winnt\system32 and then reboot the computer.

This will fix the above problem.

Good Luck
