Re: [Flexradio] Windows XP Services you can safely shut off
List for VISTA is simple ... turn the whole damn thing off, load XP, and use the XP list. Seriously ... it isn't worth the effort ... I tried for months and I couldn't be happier back on XP.

Re: [Flexradio] Windows XP Services you can safely shut off
I was going to suggest exactly the same thing. Turn off Vista, install XP. Maybe in 2 or 3 years when the have W7 debugged, then W7? __ Howard S. White Ph.D. P.

Re: [Flexradio] Windows XP Services you can safely shut off
Go to www.tweakhound.com and look at his tweaking Vista pages. He has 2 pages on what services you can turn off. Just remember to not go more aggressive than Level 2, it pays to take a system backup beforehand and read the text about what each one does and see if you know if you use it.
