Printer Spooler Service Stopped working Error 1068

I have Windows XP and one day i went to print and it told me that the Printer
Spooler Service has been turned off so i tried and re installing my printer
and half way threw it stoped and told me that the spooler service is off and
do i want to turn it on. i click yes and then i try and reinstalling it and
nope still not working. i went into services and clicked start on the Printer
Spooler and it comes up with an error message stating Could not start the
Printer Spooler service on Local Computer Error: 1068 The dependency service
or group failed to start. can anyone help me? please im desperate at this
point.
