On a few PCs in my office, the NetWare Client for NT 4.6 (and 4.5) causes the “SPOOLSS.EXE” process to use 40%-70% CPU and sucks memory like there is no tomorrow. Also, the printers folder is unaccessable. It opens, but the window is grey inside andno printers visible. If you try to print, it locks up the OS. It seems like Windows Messaging may be part of the problem because everything works fine if it is not installed, but when it is installed with the GroupWise installation (or before, during the OS installation), the problems begin. If I uninstall the NetWare client and use the Microsoft Client Services for NetWare, there is no problem. Reinstall the NW client, the problem returns. I must use the NetWare client as the MS client can notaccess the Server License Manager for an application we are using. I may be wrong, but the NetWare client also seems to be causing a high utilization problem on my main server. NetWare 4.11. TIA!
