re: spoolsv.exe CPU usage 100% Duron Thursday, December 28, 2006 at 10:16 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by unRheal (3 messages posted) It's been a while since I had this problem, so I'm not sure if this was covered... What solved it in the end for me was: http://torque.oncloud8.com/archives/000384.html Which, among other references, (including Microsoft) indicates the spool directory to be: C:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS If you see files in there, then they are likely in your print queue... And you could try deleting them. Of course... If you read enough replies here and over there... You'll find that different things solved it for different people... So there's no single fix for everyone. Hope that thelps.
