SAS 9.2 might not open when you invoke it, and the following error message appears:

In the Windows Event Viewer, an event similar to the following might be logged in the Application log:

This issue commonly occurs in Windows Vista operating environments because of corrupted printer drivers. To fix this issue, follow these steps to delete and reinstall your printer drivers:

1. Search for profile2.sas7bcat and add a .old extension to the file (that is, profile2.sas7bcat.old).
2. In the Windows Control Panel, delete the printers that are listed in the Devices and Printers window.
3. Download and install a new printer driver from each printer manufacturer’s Web site.
4. Open SAS to verify that the problem is resolved.

Note: If you need to determine which printer driver is corrupted, follow these steps:

1. Rename the profile2.sas7bcat file as in step 1 above for deleting and reinstalling your printer drivers.
2. Delete all printers.
3. Re-add a printer.
4. Open SAS.
• If SAS fails to open, the most recently added printer driver is at fault. Download and install a new printer driver from the printer manufacturer’s Web site.
• If SAS opens, repeat steps 3 and 4 until you discover the printer driver that is corrupted.

Alternatively, you can add the NOPRNGETLIST system option so that SAS does not recognize the printers that are attached under Windows.
