There is a file running called spoolsv.exe
that keeps useing up all my memory it starts out at
5000 and build up to 100,000k all in the course of one day
I have to reboot just to keep my system running at a good
speed. What is causeing it to build? I print right to the
printer. It seems to build the more and more I print.

Thanks
Bruce
 
That is the printer spooler. When it grows like that it is usually the
fault of a buggy printer driver. Check with the printer manufacturer for
updated drivers. You can also run Windows Update to make sure you have the
latest bits of the spooler service as well.
