Okay, I removed all those services, I'm down to like 4 now. It is a lot faster, but it's still about 2 minutes from cold start to operable desktop. talking to other vista user, and some research, it is rare to have vista take longer than 90 seconds to accomplish this. Are there any other suggestions? I've done windows defrag, Jkdefrag, cclean, spybot S&D, and ad-aware. And like I said, NOW my services are down to a minimum.
And also, ever since I messed with my start up services the first time I've been getting a pop up bubble in my task bar every time I log on to my account that says start up processes have been removed. Is there anyway to get rid of that?
