Ive had my computer since 2002. Needless to say there alot of unnessary things i have on here slowing down my computer. One thing i did lose is my print spooler. Its nowhere to be found. My computer is a mess. I thought that if i could restore it too factory condition if it would restore my print spooler and everything else im missing and any bugs i have on here. I want to buy a flash drive to to able to keep pictures, videos, favorites, etc. before i do the big change, is there things i should know before i do this or should i just take it in to the computer shop and see if they can get rid of all the stuff on here i dont need and find my print spooler? any advice before i take this step would be sooo appreciated. thanks

It would help if you were to post the make and model of your computer.

How large is your hdd, and how much free space do you have on it?

Look in the Event Viewer and see what errors are showing up at the times that this is happening.

Start> right click on My Computer> Manage> Event Viewer.

On the right side of the page you will see the options Applications, Security, and Systems, double click on Systems. There are eight columns on this page, the three that you will want are Type, Date, Time, and Event.

The errors will appear in the Type column, they are red dots with a white X inside of them.

Warnings will appear as a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside.

When you see an error, double click on it and see what the description is.

Please post the error code/s found in the Event column and the descriptions back in this topic.
