spoolsv.exe

by flowers020 Dec 9, 2010 4:22PM PST

Operating system windows xp. Printer - Epson workforce 30. The spoolsv.exe is causing the CPU usage to stay at 100%. Don't know how to correct this. I wasn't sure if it was safe to end the process or not. I don't know if it has anything to do with this,but after I print, the print info box stops responding. Because of the CPU staying so high - all app. including internet comes up slowly. Need help to bring it back down.
