Could anyone help? My computer has lost all sound. I've tried everything I can think of and can't find the problem...speakers on and have power. CDs won't play...no computer sounds at all. Thanks in advance. Nelson

Print Spooling is just a buffer from the computer to the computer. Most computers will process to a printer faster than the printer can print. We don't like waiting for the slow printer to finish before we can do something else. . . . ergo, Print Spooling. . . The computer prints to a file on disk (via the Spooler program). There is a program (the Spooler) running that is looking for that file. When it (the print file job) shows up, the spooling program begins to print it (or waits til job is done, then prints it). The computer isn't held-up processing (printing) to disk, so the job finishes FAST. Etc. The Spooler program is always running just waiting for something to print. Joe
