[Skimmertalk] Problem with Display

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

It's possible that the program that is momentarily locking up the CPU is
the Windows Print Spooler, Spoolsv.exe.

This link<http://www.exe-error-fixes.com/deal-high-cpu-usage-spoolsvexe-problem/>describes
how to stop the Print Spooler, which may fix the problem.  Please
let us know.

Briefly:

   1. In the Widows *Control Panel*, first double-click on *
   Administrative Tools* and then on *Services*.
   2. In the right pane of the Services window, locate and right-click on *
   Print Spooler* and then select *Stop*.

If you're not using the printer, you can also end the spoolsv.exe
process using the Windows Task manger.  Be sure to remove any print jobs
(link above describes the process).

73,
Bob, N6TV
