1055 The service database is locked.
If your Print Spooler unexpectedly quit (It happened to me in Windows 2000 Server edition). Try This,
For this you need to have “sc.exe”
Download it from here ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip
Extract it and place “sc.exe” on your SYSTEM32 directory, under (Windows/WINNT)
Go to Start > Run > Open:cmd [Ok]
Type “sc lock”
Press “u” (lowercase)
Your database should be unlocked now!. Good Luck~
My Output looked like this:
C:\sc lock
