spooler error 0x80004005

[breezy2u]

I am getting this error when I try to save my project after updating
tasks. I have updated both the server and the workstation to make sure
everything is up to date, I have removed all local resources and am
only using enterprise resources. I have read all the links I could find
and past posts on what could be causing the problem, but it is still
happening.

Can I get some help trouble shooting this? I am at a loss.

Breezy:

There are typically corresponding errors written to the Server Application
Event log. These are a little more verbose than than the spooler version, so
they would be helpful in diagnosing the problem. Please post them here.

Breezy:

Have you reviewed the fixes in the following KB article:?
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;328249

 

[breezy2u]

Yes. All the permission on the folder are correct and I am not using
Novell.

 

[Gary L. Chefetz [MVP]]

Breezy:

If this is happening to only one project, then the cause may be corruption.
If you haven't installed SP1, you should have SP1 installed as well as the
following hotfix:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;893622

 

[breezy2u]

It doesn't look like they have a download for it. Does anyone have a
copy of it?

 

[Gary L. Chefetz [MVP]]

Breezy:

Call Microsoft support. There is no charge for hotfixes which are almost
never available for download. This is part of Microsoft's way of tracking
how many users encounter problems.

 

[breezy2u]

Ok. I got the hotfix. It looks like it is for Project 2003, not project
server 2003. It also looks like I need to remove project and reinstall
since I have already installed service pack 2 and it doesn't seem to
like that.

I will try that and see what happens.

 

[breezy2u]

Nope. It didn't work. I uninstalled Project Professional 2003 then
reinstalled, updated to service pack 1 then applied the hotfix. I get
the same error. Should I try installing service pack 2 now? I'm at a
loss.

 

[Gary L. Chefetz [MVP]]

What SP level is your server?

 

[breezy2u]

Windows Server 2003 SP1

 

[breezy2u]

Is it possible I didn't do the Project Server update correctly?

 

[Gary L. Chefetz [MVP]]

If you didn't run the sql query correctly it might explain what you're
seeing. Maybe it's time you call Microsoft support?

 

[Ray McCoppin]

Try updating the MDAC on the client to the same version as on the SQL Server.

 

[breezy2u]

Yeah, I already tried that. It says that XP already has the right MDAC
as the server. I will try again.

I am not sure versioning is the problem, I have had everything working fine
for two weeks and then all of a sudden I get this 0x80004005 on ALL projects,
I got four, so corruption seems unlikely unless it is on the server side. I
am not using Novell, and I have tried the other solution in the MS article,
still does not work. I am very close to giving up. I will probably switch to
OpenWorkbench.
