Dell 720 not responding

a ms dos type box comes up and the usuall white marker is flashing and I just
left it and in under a second it disapears so I'm assuming it had finished
and I could go back to the control panel. Nothing had happened.

just like last time if I clicked on add printer or server properties, an
error came up: 'Opperation could not be competed. The print spooler service
is not running.' and 'Server properties cannot be viewed. The print spooler
service is not running.'

Im assuming that somehow I need to get the print spooler service working,
but how.

Please Help
Thanks
