ok if you goto run type in msconfig you can choose what programes you want to run when your machine starts up ex like msn messanger

click start
then run
then type "services.msc"

there you can select what services run on your pc.

there is alot of stuff u dont need and some stuff
allows your computer to be controlled remotely.

Hope that helps!

this link will take u to a page that tells u what service does what
and how it does it.

It also helps u tweak the hell out of ur system to
increase performance!

How did you get on cloud_999? I wouldn't recommend any less than a 750MHz cpu for XP normally.

Slightly off topic -

Has anyone one on here got a recent Linux distro? Any luck getting the emulator to work in Linux? It's about the only thing I would miss - except for the fact that my modem doesn't work in it.
