Spoolsv.exe has 99% of the cpu when I turned off the printer after printing.

Original title: spoolsv.

I recently installed a new printer Lexmark Pro715.  Everything works fine, no problems with printing, but as soon as I put off the printer after printing, spoolsv.exe takes 99% CPU.  If I leave the printer in mode 'sleep', the problem is, but I do not often print, I prefer to turn off completely.  There is nothing in the print queue, everything else seems normal.  I can use the Task Manager to stop it, but this isn't a good solution in the long term.  I run MS Update and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, with no effect.  It's driving me crazy.  I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3.

From what I've read on the Internet about the print spooler using 99 to 100%, Norton is also sometimes involved as a contributing factor to a runaway print spooler for some people (where my request).

IIRC, people would set their Norton to start a scan and when it was made, the print spooler has run amok at 100%:

"Because I have Norton Antivirus, do a system scan every Friday night that I happened to see that the value SPOOLSV. EXE is using almost 100% of the CPU of the morning Saturday. It's the only time that it happens, so I simply stop the process in the SERVICES window, and life is good. I don't know why Norton Antivirus it triggers during the scanning process that I couldn't find anything on the Symantec relating to this site. »

If the problem resurfaces surface, using abduction special tools on their website, you can uninstall your Norton and view the appearance of things without him - you can always reinstall again once, right?

I disagree with Norton in general for its CPU and memory hogging and known interference with other XP processes (such as the restoration of the system), so I'd keep which in mind if the problem returns.

A few years ago, I used to like Norton correct, but will never go back or recommend it.  Microsoft Security Essentials with it's lower overhead and footprint and some regular on the analyses at the request of the MBAM and SAS should hold your own system based on your surfing habits.  Your system will reward you with an improvement in the overall performance of the system as well.

I can tell you that no single AV tool seems to know everyting so it is safe to use several respectable scanning tools.  Norton certainly doesn't know everything.

  • Works with Windows XP SP2 with IE8. A Norton 360 process ccSvcHst.exe CPU consumption. Upgraded to version 4.0.__Now IE8 Norton is very unstable, different processes consuming CPU even with turned off Norton. __

    I opened a folder support with Norton a couple of days, for a problem with ccSvcHst.exe cripling process my system by consuming my CPU.  I found that it was a common problem, and so I wanted Norton to solve.  Their guy accesed my remote system support and made a few changes to my configuration utility and my registry files and then upgraded my version of their latest version 4.0

    After the end of the support session, I finally restarted my system and encountered an error on my configuration utility being in a State of diagnosis, then that I should put it in a normal mode and restart again.  I noticed that it had disabled the start of my services.  I selected a normal startup and restarted.

    The problem with ccSvcHst.exe consuming my CPU is now resolved - be replaced by different processes consuming my CPU and use of extremely heavy memory (or misuse).  Faulty processes are mostly explorer.exe and iexplore.exe.  Not only that, but this current problem exists even when I turn off Norton.  I tried you connecting another deal with them, but they will not address the issue, since the problem (now) exist even without Norton running.  So, basically, they made the problem worse and then pushed him on Microsoft to resolve the issue.  It's really nice...

    Anyone have any ideas?

    It seems that your computer is infected. I get this from the fact that iexplore.exe (Internet Explorer) is running. If you haven't started IE yourself, then it is a clear symptom of malware infection.

    It seems that your screen displays some graphical anomalies when you connect to your user name. I would use these troubleshooting steps in the following article on the resolution of screens:

    Restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    From: get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • Lose internet when I turn off printer (WUSB600N)

    I'm having a very strange problem.  When I turn off my Canon MX850 printer connected USB, I lose my internet connection.  I get this error message in my event viewer:

    Event type: WARNING
    Event source: Dhcp
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1009
    Date: 11/03/2009
    Time: 12:11:55
    Description:
    A network error has occurred when trying to send a message. The error code is: a blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall.

    I am running Windows XP pro SP3 and my WUSB600N adapter is connected wireless to a Linksys WRT600N router.

    Someone has ideas of how solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    I solved this by uninstalling Linksys Wireless Network Monitor.  I no longer disconnect from the internet when I turn off a device USB or Firewire (ipod, canon mx850 printer, external hard drive).  However, by using the Automatic Configuration of Windows isn't a perfect solution.  The downside is that I frequently 2-5 second freeze ups in World of Warcraft with WZC, especially in combat.  So my solution is to stop the automatic configuration service once I started and have an internet connection.  This is quite annoying!

    Hello Kenneth g. Mann

    What version of Windows 8 you have installed on your computer?

    The only thing I can think of that would cause the computer shut down every 2 hours would be if you have the Windows 8 Preview of consumers or the Windows 8 Preview version. These two operating systems were copies of the assessments only and were set to expire on 15 January and 16 January.

  • in System 32 Spoolsv.exe taking 90% of the CPU usage.

    Original title: spoolsv.exe in System 32

    in my task manager processes, spoolsv.exe exists that uses more than 90 percent of one of my cores of the processor. It is in System 32. I want to know what is it and why it uses 45% of my CPU?
    How can I stop it permanently?

    Hello

    Method 1.
    This happens usually when the printer spooler folder is filled with unwanted files. You can resolve this problem by following the steps below:
    a. go to start, settings, then click Control Panel
    (b) in the Control Panel window, double-click first administrative tools, then Services.
    (c) in the right pane of the Services window, locate and with right-click on print spooler and then select stop.
    d. you have stopped this process, leave the window open. Now open my computer and navigate to the following folder.
    c:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS
    e. delete all files in the Printers folder. After you delete the files in this folder, return to the Services window, right-click on print spooler and select start reactivate service.

    Method 2.
    Although the true spoolsv.exe file is a secure, many malicious programs are known to dress up in spoolsv.exe. Sometimes the security program installed might not be fair enough. I also recommend you update your security software regularly.
     
    a. follow the link below to start the free online scan:
    http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
    b. run the malware removal tool from Microsoft.
