hey...this is kind of a follow up to another thread i had here recently...

http://www.geekstogo...98#entry1089498

ive noticed a few more issues. today, i tried to update java, and it wouldnt install, stating that windows installer service wasnt running, so i went ahead and started it (im learning how to fix things myself a little from you guys...thanks), and retried the install, and it went fine.

my previous windows issues (taskbar missing, IE7 issues, not being able to copy or paste, not being able to move files or folders at all, etc....)were resolved by this post...

now im wondering if i have other services that arent starting correctly, or services that are disabled that shouldnt be, etc after running through a bunch of malware removal on the malware board. that thread is here...

i figured i would post some screens of my services, and see if anyone knows about any other issues that i should fix that are services and/or registry related. let me know if you need any more info for me, and i greatly appreciate your help. here are the screens:

I once got myself in big trouble by changing Services. I now suggest that to begin it is best to return all Services to default settings for your version-Home or Pro- and let it ride for a while before making changes. Often none are required- it depends on your usage patterns.

To get a quick chart of defaults see Black Viper: http://www.blackvipe.../servicecfg.htm

To get a second opinion when deciding on changes, compare with the Elder Geek: http://www.theelderg...vices_guide.htm

I strongly suggest that you set any services you feel you don't need to 'Manual' rather than disabling them. Then sort the services by startup type and check back daily after boot. Some of the manual settings will be started by the system at boot. Best practice is to reset those to 'Automatic.'

Actually, in most cases, the savings gained by turning off Services is minor except for boot. I have learned to make but one change at a time to Services. That way I know "What broke it?"
