I've noticed that I have things taking up my memory. Do I need intellipoint, tkbell.exe, swg (for google toolbar notifier) and ctfmon.exe

If you have recently installed IE7, you may have the troublesome ctfmon.exe working in the background: Go to :Control Panel>Regional and Language Options>Languages>Details>Advanced, and check the box that says "Turn off advanced text services." If that creates problems, go back and turn it back on. Ctfmon uses a lot of CPU time.
