Perhaps your spooler drive is going out for that operation. Happened to me, and I am now using a new computer. Course the other one was about 7 years old and had been rebuilt once.

   Thanks Dee. Looks like the easy way is not to put it in sleep mode anymore. My son in laws computer is on 24-7 and it doesn't seem to hurt anything.

   The only time I shut mine down is when there is a bad thunderstorm in the area.

  Dawned on me this morning why i was putting it in sleep mode. It was so i didn't have to hear a person on my buddy list sign on and off face book 20 times a night. Deleted her from my buddy list. Problem solved. ;D

Maybe you could just mute the volume control.

I don't have any buddies, so I guess I don't have to worry.

  Sotty Bill. I didn't think this was an internet problem.

Copy and paste the following command into notepad, and save it to your desktop as Print.bat

NET START "Print Spooler"

That will create a clickable icon. When you click on it, a command window will open up, tell you what its doing, then close automatically.
That will restart the print spooler service if it is indeed the problem.

I do shut down my comp at night because every part in there has a life expectancy of XXX # of hours.
The motherboard is supposed to last 50,000 hours. At 8 hours a day, that's about 15 years. At 24 hours a day it's 5 years.
