spoolersv.exe using 99% of CPU

[Guest]

For some reason the spoolersv.exe is using 99-100% of my CPU when ever it is on. I know how to turn it of, but then I cannot print. What next?

I just reloaded XP from the cab file and it still did not help the problem. UGh!!!!

Try uninstalling your printer and then reinstalling it.

Just did that too. It's still at 99%.

I'm getting close. I can see now that I have 3 documents stuck in 'Microsoft Office Document Image Writer'. I think a week or so ago I didn't have a printer and had downloaded confirmation of something I purchase off the web and wanted to print the web page to a file. I apparently played around with the port for 'Microsoft Office Document Image Writer'. I now have it set to the USB port. But I cannot delete the files waiting to print. Any suggestions?

Try stopping the spooler, manually deleting the jobs from the spool directory, then restarting the spooler
