I did a recovery on Windows XP. I checked the capacity of my hard drive and it's fillled, meaning that my documents and stuff are still saved onto there. But I have no idea where. Please help.

When I open my windows task manager (ctrl+alt+del) I see that the program that is taking up the most of my memory is a program called spoolsv.exe which is being run by the system. What is this, why is it using so much ram, and how can I make it stop?

My system was running too slow before even after i had upgraded my ram from 128 Mb - 521 Mb. So what i did was i formatted one of my drives which had the OS installed in it and tried to install Windows Xp in the same drive with my 512 Mb ram but i could install the OS due to some errors that occurred during the installation the error was something like this "could not install bla bla bla." and i had two options to proceed one is to skip that file and the second was to retry" but when i retried the same error occurred and if i skipped it the error would occur for many other files and i was forced to cancel the installation... But then i removed my 512 Mb ram and installed the old 128 Mb ram and tried to install the Windows Xp OS again and i was successful in installing the OS... Now after the installation i put the 512 Mb ram back and my computer is working fast and fine...But my computer hangs only while playing games like NFS and it gets restarted showing some errors for 0.1sec
