Win2k's SpoolSV.exe goes crazy with Word

[initialdrifteg6]

I have a Windows 2000 box running Microsoft Word 2000.

Whenever documents are opened under Word, SpoolSV.exe runs around 50% CPU Useage and it doesn't go down even when the Word program is closed.

While in Word, The hourglass constantly goes on and off and the document screen (not all of word) flashes.

Any suggestions?

I've seen problems with Lexmark printer drivers and also Normal.dot corruption. I'd recommend deleting the Normal.dot file if it is larger than 85kB. You can find the Normal.dot file in your profile folder inside the Application Data\Microsoft\Templates directory. Word will recreate the file the next time you open it.
