Look at Services then, and see what you can do without. They take

Invaluable.

I have only 54 out of a possible 139 services running (129 being
native to Windows Home Basic - the other 10 are for software I
installed).



Thanks for reminding me about that site. I had used it in the past with XP
and I had used it on my old computer when I upgraded it to Vista. I haven't
done much with the services since I got this computer.
