Resetar spool impressão windows

Sabe quando a impressora trava com milhoes de arquivos na fila? mesmo desplugando e replugando-a o problema não se resolve.

o que fazer ?

iniciar > executar > services.msc


procure Spooler de impressão e clique com o botão direito em reiniciar .

pronto ! sem mais impressoras travadas com arquivos na fila (exluindo) no windows.

[bug] crysis 1 demorando para salvar (realizar o savegame)

patch1.1 save/checkpoint slow and hang bug - workaround no reinstalling

i've been having the strange slow-save and the hang bug through onslaught and awakening (the mine) that people have been reporting.

here's how i got around it:

1. make a backup of your crysis/bin32 folder. i made a subfolder crysis/bin32/files-v1.1 and copied all my bin32 files there.

2. on your dvd open the file Binari~2.cab (winrar will open it fine). these are the original v1.0 versions of the files in your bin32 folder. extract these files to another folder. i use crysis/bin32/files-v1.0.

3. copy the files from files-v1.0 to your bin32 folder. this is almost like having v1.0 reinstalled.

4. start crysis and play away, or just load and save your game.

5. copy the files from files-v1.1 back to your bin32 folder. This puts you back to a proper v1.1 install.

i've set up a couple of batch files to do the copying for me in case i need it again.

with this i switch the 1.0, loaded a slow savegame in the mine area and played through to the start of the core - fantastic!, then switched back to v1.1 and kept playing with quick saves and no hangs so far.

i hope people find this useful, i was just about to give up on crysis completely, so i'm v happy.

a couple of buts...

- BUT i've only tried this on 32bit XP home, though maybe the same wold work in 64bit using the Binari~1.cab files.

- BUT i did see some bad textures so you wont want to stay in v1.0 for too long. i also saw some frogs (toads?) in the mine that probably shouldn't have been floating.

post back if it works for you.
