| | Excessive logging to SpoolerETW.etl caused by Nokia PC Suite I had Nokia PC Suite 6.84.10.3 installed on two Vista Home Premium systems. Some time after the installation was complete, I noticed excessive disk activity, and tracked this down to writes to the file c:\windows\system32\spool\SpoolerETW.etl - a file that should normally be empty. The Vista print spooler is logging a failure to open a printer every 0.25 seconds. While troubleshooting this, I noticed that when I started the print spooler, the PC connected to my phone. After some checking, it seems certain that PC Suite has somehow made itself known to the print spooler as a possible Bluetooth printer driver. Removing the phone from the list of Bluetooth devices did not change the print spooler logging behaviour. Removing PC Suite from the system did slow the logging down and reduce the number of messages in each log entry, but it did not stop it completely. A third "identical" system that has never had PC Suite installed does not exhibit this behaviour. Nokia PC Suite Cleaner, which may help remove the residual mess, does not run on Vista. Any ideas on how to stop this print spooler activity? |

| | Re: Excessive logging to SpoolerETW.etl caused by Nokia PC Suite I'm waiting on a new Nokia phone before trying the latest Nokia PC Suite -- earlier I could never get it to see my 3120 triband phone which Nokia blamed on my third party USB-serial cable although I found drivers for it and it was recognized by XP. Have you asked Nokia? They were quick to answer by email even if I didn't like the answer. And they have newgroups on their website. I'll follow this with interest .... |

I was hoping that someone on this group would know how to either persuade the spooler to stop playing with Bluetooth, or to turn the logging off. There is an old thread in this group started by me before I figured out what the cause was, but that doesn't lead anywhere... |

Just a thought but you might try out the Enterprise version of PCSuite since it might be more customizable? http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.co..._downloads.php |
