Help please spoolsc.exe is consuming all my system resources on my xp home
edition pc.
I have ran pc doctor and my mcafee.
What now? The last time I took this to puter repair man and it cost me
$135 to get rid of it. Can't keep doing this. Where does this come from?
and how do I prevent?

Thankyou for any and all help.
 
is it spoolsc or spoolsv

if its spoolsv then try the following


If spoolsv.exe is causing 99% cpu usage then it may have a corrupted print
file stuck in the system32 folder. To fix it do the following
Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and stop the Print
Spooler services
Turn off the printer.
Now go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS and delete the files there. You
may find some '00002.SHD' and '00020.SPL'. or something similar.
Now turn your printer back on and restart the print spool service.
Spoolsv.exe should be at 2% or less.

Most probably it the printer that is creating the problem as spool is
related to the printer service so simply unplug the printer and then restart
the computer
