My computer is on all the time. It starts running slower
and slower and I have to reboot to get back to normal. If
I don't I get a "virtual memory minimum too low" warning.
Looking at taskmanager before I reboot I see spoolsv.exe
is using more memory than any other process--up to 52mb
with available physical memory down to 5K. After I reboot
spoolsv.exe is down to 5mb and available physical memory
is up to 29K or more.
Is this a spoolsv.exe problem?
