Sounds almost too good :-) Sure you didn't disable any stuff (i like 
that word) that your keyboard or mouse needs (like hotkeys) or important 
automatic updates etc.? Many antivirus and firewall programs have 
several startup entries, and they don't always have a sensible or even 
remotely similar name.

You should at least also have these enabled if they're in the list: 
KernelFaultCheck, SunJavaUpdateSched, etc.

And you probably also want these: CtrlVol, PowerKey, Wbutton, etc.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
