Hi Mike, <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 12:11 AM, Michael Havens <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:bmike1@gmail.com">bmike1@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
my xp laptop is real slow and I need to turn off some services to speed it up. can anyone direct me  to a website that will tell me which ones I can stop? I turned off some and restarted the computer and it was screaming fast again but internet wasn&#39;t working. The system configuration utility told me to restart one service but that wasn&#39;t the only one I needed to restart because after a restart I found that it still wasn&#39;t working.<br>
