I am having a strange problem. Not sure what changed on my computer but, whenever I try to open an acces report in design or preview it takes forever. The computer will even display not respondind, but if you leave it for a minute it will open. So I did some digging and it works fine in same mode. I also discovered that if I terminate spoolsv.exe it will work fine. The only thing that helps is stopping the print spooler. Not sure what to do next.
 
Do you have a "printer" installed on your compuer?

Access requires a printer driver to view reports. You can always load a bogus printer driver just to view.

It may also be that the driver you do have is corrupt, if its a simple one you can delete and re-install
