205453 2004-01-05 08:05:00 I have a friend with an XP Compac 256MB Notebook as slow as a dog, apparently because of every possible service there is, loaded on it.

A while back I used a particularly good website in the UK that had a really good analysis of a huge number of service, and good advice on how to handle them, to tune up my daughters computer. Anyone know it, or a good alternative?

Here is one site that may be of use to you: WinXP Services (www.blackviper.com)

Cheers, Babe.

205455 2004-01-05 08:24:00 Thanks Babe, that was the other one I remembered (heh heh Black Viper has a certain memorable ring to to it)and have had a look through to refresh on the "how", but was really after the services list. Rod ger (316)
205456 2004-01-05 08:31:00 Rod ger,

Well the following lists all the 'normal' WinXP services CyberCoyote (cybercoyote.org)

Cheers, Babe.

205457 2004-01-05 08:40:00 Thanks Babe, the eldergeek guide looks more like what I am after Rod ger (316)
205458 2004-01-05 11:10:00 Thanks for that Babe Ruth,
I had been wondering about them for ages and wether they all had to be turned on.
CyberCoyote explains it good.
Cheers.
