Try reinstalling the file.. its printer related (all files with spool in it usually are!).
Start,run, type "sfc" (no quotes). Then just specify the file instead of searching. File should be located in \windows\system32
and should be copied from your windows cd - x:\win98
(x is your cd drive letter!)

Also possible trojan.. try here
