I believe I have lanmanserver issues

Yes I edited the registry as described and my print spooler starts correctly and no you do not need to be logged in to the forum to see the topic I do not know why the link does not work today but if you google "lanmanserver booting issues" it should be the 3rd result. Thanks for everything guys! I guess if this solution doesnt solve your problem then it might slightly be different than mine.

So I searched my problem on google which I had done before and came across an answer for the issue. The link is http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/211979-vista-hangs-20-minutes-lanmanserver-starting.html. Weird because I had searched for this issue before. So yes now everything works like its suppose to. Thanks for your time and patience!!

link doesn't work, so I coped it here:

Problem:

VISTA takes a few seconds more or less than 20 minutes to be ready to use each time my computer is powered up or VISTA is restarted.

Symptoms:

Under the Task Manager, Services Tab during that 20 minutes, LanmanServer is in "Starting" mode while other services are Running or Stopped. Also the connection icon in the lower right corner of the screen has a red X. After 20 minutes LanmanServer runs, the red X becomes a blue circle and the system becomes fully functional.

Solution:

Use Regedit in administrator mode to:

1) Change entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler. Click on "DependsOnService". Add three separate lines:

LanmanWorkstation

LanmanServer

LmHosts

2) Change entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetLogon.

Double click "DependsOnService" entry and find the "LanmanWorkstation" line and delete it. If you don't see a "LanmanServer" line add it.

My system had both entries.

3) Click OK and exit the Registry Editor. Restart your computer. The 20 minute delay on start up problem should be gone.

nice to hear that this fixes it for you :thumbup

The link had a wayward period at the end. The board formatted the [ URL ] tag to include this period. I simply did a URL tag wrap on the link and removed the period.
