Thanks Peter...I will check that sight out... I needed to do something. Quick Books is really slow opening up, as well as Acrobat reader, though not as bad. I did the defrag with no help. Anyway, I had one of the Network services set for manual, changed it to automatic and seems to be working., Thanks to all that contributed.
Jeff Dougherty www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jeff, I have the services he recommends disabled on my systems, they are reflected in other lists around the web, and I have not had any difficulties so far <knock on wood!>. Some I have re-enabled for specific uses I require. One useful site for a safe XP is: http://www.uksecurityonline.com/husdg/wxpp2.php with many good points beyond services and all is well explained and friendly. Al services use up memory but as most systems nowadays have 256 mb or more installed you don't notice these much unless you have 128 mb or less installed and you have onboard video too.
