Both my printer andspeakers areconnected but when I try to use mediaplayer or the printer they dont work. Printeris noteven listed anymore andwhen I try to add I get the message: OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETE. THEPRINTER SPOOLER SERVICE IS NOT RUNNING. When I try to play music I get: Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly. Please help… Chad
