Greetings!

A coworker just approached me with a paper on which she'd written a screen 
message...

She has some flavor of Vista Home (Premium?) and (she hopes!) is the sole 
user.  There are no other PCs in her condo.

"Recently", she has experienced a pretty disturbing problem.  She can go 
to the Control Panel for "printers" and print a test page on her printer 
with no issues.

On the other hand, when she tries to print to Word (Office 2003), she gets 
this:

"The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable"  (and, she 
cannot print).

She is disturbed that she cannot print.  I am concerned that Active 
Directory Domain Services on a machine which not only should not be on any 
network (other than Comcast cable IP service) and, being a "home" version, 
should not even be able to belong to an AD domain.

Any ideas?  Thanks!
