Today I needed to fix a machine that had the spoolsv.exe process (who hosts the printing queues on Windows XP) eating up to 99% of the CPU.
To fix this I went to a console and wrote the next lines:
net stop spooler
del %systemroot%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* /Q
net start spooler
These lines stop the printing queues and delete everything thats in those queues because probably there is something wrong in one of those queues.
And thats all :)

The other day in the office there was a computer that started to print emails from Outlook 2003 and from the web-client of Outlook in a bad way. They were cut from the sides like if there was no margin. Trying other programs, they print well.
The solution was in going to Internet Explorer, and go to Archive / File > Configure page and give it margins. (Sorry about the menu items, I don’t have an english version of Windows to look for the correct words of the menu).

Today at the job I’ve found a computer that had all the icons “like selected” with the blue background in the text.
To get rid of this effect I found the next solution (after many that didn’t work):
1. Right click on the Desktop
2. Properties
3. Desktop Tab
4. Personalize Desktop Tab
5. Web Tab
6. Unselect anything you don’t use
This was found out via nocturnar forums (spa).

Today I upgraded the ubuntu of my netbook and I found out that when I came back to the OS my Touchpad didnt work anymore. After trying to fix it with the man of xorg.conf and failing googling i found the solution:
You need to login as root (sudo does not work) and execute the following command.
echo options psmouse proto=exps > /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe
And after that reboot.
PS: If you don’t have an external mouse to plug in, hitting control+alt+F2 you can find a console.
