Problem spoolsv.exe using excessive CPU process time
I am having the same problem with spoolsv.exe. It uses
98% of my CPU and makes the system run very slow. I have two printers, Epson stylus color 800 and Epson Stylus Photo 2200. The problem started about a month ago, long after I installed the printers. I have spent about two hours on the phone with Dell. They gave up and told me to reinstall Windows XP. -----Original Message----- I can't be sure but I think this problem started after I installed a USB 2.0 card on my XP system. My printer is an older EPSON C80 and always worked fine.. it still prints great! now every time I boot -- even If I don't print, spoolsv.exe is running as a system process. on a normal system this would only become active during a print process and lay idle using 0 - 2 CPU processes. My spoolsv.exe is running at 50 - 75 percent of the CPU and won't give it up even if I uninstall the printer. I have to kill the process 6 - 7 time before it will stay killed. Of course at that point the printer is "uninstalled" and you can no longer print until you re- boot. Has anyone had this experience;? if so what is causing this? I've re-service pack 1 the system. I have the latest virus scan dat and engine. used adaware and trojan hunter but the system is clean. the only reference I've come across related to spoolsv.exe using excess CPU process time is when it fails to keep in communication with windows terminal server on a win 2k system. This is not the case on my system. any help would be appreciated. -Nick . |
