I have Sony's notebook that it's painstakingly slow. I opened Task Manager and there are 66 processes running. I'm no expert here but that A LOT!! My regular PC has 35 processes which makes 66 almost twice as much. How can I choose which to delete and remove permanently?
you can disable services you dont need,heres a good guide, http://majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=12, and run msconfig and see what is in startup you dont need...personaly i always keep an eye on my startup folder and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and clean out any bs that dosent need to be there...pretty much all that starts up with my pc is nod32 av and utorrent.
