Print Spooler Failure

As per topic, it refuses to start up. No viruses, no spyware, just refuses with error 1086. Any ideas?

Yeah, the error reference is no help as per microsoft's site.

Running Windows XP, printer is a lexmark X74-75, computer is a custome built one, Athlon XP on a Abit KR7A-RAID, 2 HDs on the raid setup. Computer should have no real relvence though I think.
