Hello...My PC, using Windows Vista is experiencing extremely high CPU usgae levels, alot of times around 100%. Oddly enough, the print spooler file is the main cause of it, taking up over 90% of the usage. Of course when I disable this file, my printer does not function. Can somone help me on how to fix this issue? The computer has been running pretty slow as of late...thank you

Eric

No printer software needs to be running as a startup...

Download HijackThis:

Click on Download HijackThis Installer
Install, and run it.

Click on Open the Misc Tools section button.
Click on Generate StartupList log button.
The list will open in Notepad.
Save it as startup.txt.
Zip the file, and attach it to your next reply.
