Vista Ultimate: too many background services

I am running Vista Ultimate with a 380 Gigahertz CPU and Raid0
configuration. My problem is too many background services and processes:
110 to be exact. If I try to remove any of them, systems warns that it is
dangerous, or something like that. Also, some of these processes have as
many as 40 to 50 dependicies. I have 2 Gygabits of Ram, and this rarely
goes over 50%. However, my CPU is constantly running at 100% and
performance is noticably poor in many applications. It seems to ebb and
flow, but is very annoying, and I have had several total lockups because of
this being streched to the limit. Can anyone give me. Can anyone give any
advice about how to go about removing these background services, but still
available when needed. I can't imagine that I'm actually using all of these
processes and/or services at any given time. Is there a web site where might
be able to get some assistance on what I need run and what I can leave out
through msconfig? These services are so abreviated that it's impossible to
tell what they are even doing, if anything. Thanks for any advice you may
be able to give me.

I think Blackviper has a list of processes/services you can safely disable:

David,

I think you mean to say your processor is 3.8 Gigahertz. Yes?

Keep in mind, windows vista is NOT windows xp. You say you have too many services running... how do you know you have to many services running. Just leave em the heck alone and go surf your pr0n... start disabling willy nilly and you'll be sorry... bub

Too bad it bogs down with 110 processes running and all that hardware he's
using! What a p.o.s. that toy operating system is.

Cheers.

Download and run Autoruns

there should be about 40 some odd processes for the OS...the rest are
probably unnecessary startup and updater programs that you can disable.
To play it safe in the beginning, you can "hide" MS programs

It seems to me that you have a malware process running or some process has
gone out of control taking the CPU to 100%. You need to go find it instead
of trying to shutdown services and processes you know nothing about.

<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx>


To use PE, you go to menu View/Show Lower/Pane/Show All Dll(s), and PE will
show you every process that the process in the upper pane is hosting when
you click on a line in the upper pane.

You can right-click a line in the upper pane and go to properties where you
will see more tabs, like the one that shows if a process is being hosted by
a service etc, etc.

Maybe it's best that you use PE and go look, instead of running around
blindly shutting down services that might not even be the problem.
