Windows 7 print spooler wont start.

Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, print spooler wont start.

I've been through the recommended process of Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services / Print Spooler / Automatic and deleted all the files in *\System 32\Spool\Printers and \drivers folders and rebooted to no avail many, many times. I've also right clicked Print Spooler and clicked start and got the message "Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer". "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified." Yeah thanks Microsoft, why couldn't you tell me which file? The old story of the helicopter pilot lost in a fog is sooooo true. I've disabled and re-enabled the spooler but I still can't print. Anybody here got any ideas?
