Lasso, I am experiencing similiar issues on my PC. Task manager indicating
49% of system resources dedicated to print spooler. Causing significant slow
down. I am using Win XP pro. I could not find any virus, trojans or
spyware......... I am currently turning off print spooler services to
recapture lost resources (P4 3.2 mhz)

Searching for a solution....... may have to do a re-install?????
