Hi Gman,
Glanced at the first link you sent. What is the difference doing it his
way rather than using "msconfig". I think in the past I have disabled about
2-3 services I can recall using "msconfig" to do it. I know one was one of
those messenger things, I forgot another but was told to do it by a tech by
phone and it did help the problem I was having, this was a long time ago
though.
thanks,
Do not use "msconfig" to disable services, type "services.msc" in the Run
box instead!
Christine
