I have a windows vista home premuim (im not good at this so i dont know what processer and that junk) i recently bought a game call ESO and it wouldnt load on launcher so i got support to help me and they  said to goto ms config (System Config) and goto services and goto hide all microsoft services then disable all. it works and now my eso launcher worked fine but now in a matter of minutes every time i launch my mouse stops moving and my computer freezes. i know how to get it to unfreeze (enable all)  but it stops the launcher from working. is there a certain program im disabling thats causing my pc to freeze so i can keep that one enable? thanks

Repeat the steps but instead of disabling all non-MS services, disable a few at a time then try ESO. That way you can identify which one (or ones) is causing the problem then leave the rest enabled.

There should not be many non-Microsoft services. Once you check the Hide all Microsoft Services box there should only be a dozen or so left.

 

I know it takes time but this is the only way you're going to figure it out.

 

Once approach is to disable half and test. If okay then switch, enable them and disable the other half. Once ESO nop longer works you know one of the disabled services is the cause. So enable half of then and test, etc. etc. etc.....

 

I checked my Win 8 Pro X64 system and I have 24 non-MS services running but I have lot of stuff running that i wqant there.
