which vista services can be disabled with impunity?
- by GwenKillerby
I use Vista on a HP pavilion DV2 laptop.
When I look through all the services my laptop starts, it really seems there's way too much of it. I multi boot with XP and 7. Both startup in 40 seconds. Vista takes four minutes.
Is there some software that can determine which services I don't need? On 7, there's no propietary HP stuff at all, yet it seems to run fine. Because all these service, there's a LOT of them and some just sit there doing nothing, monitoring for updates I don't really need or want or need to know about the second they're available.
my laptop is the only computer i use at home, there's no home network, aside from the modem-router, which is cabled, not wifi.
Take for instance Parental controls, and stuff for people with bad eyesight, Tablet PC. I really never use any of that stuff.
Hope this question is specific enough.
thanks, Gwen.
