I'm having a serious processing issue with SPOOLSV.EXE. I
don't know a ton about Windows, however, in checking the
Windows Task Manager's "Processes" tab. I'm noticing that
the SPOOLSV.EXE is consuming, on average, 60-80% of my
processing power. What's going on? How do I resolve this?
My computer is completely bogged down because of this.

Greetings,

Try checking your system for spyware since spyware tend to overload a
system.

Read the following website which explains
