My computer has gotten very slow, so I have gone to Start>Run>msconfig and
looked at the long list of programs and have been able to Google them and
cull out some programs I do not need running in the background; I've also
identified some that I need forInternet Security/Antivirus, etc. However,
there are many programs I can't identify or determine their necessity. I'm
running Windows XP with SP2 on a Dell desktop. Can you tell me what programs
are absolutely necessary for the system to function? Incidentally, I've done
the usual things to speed up the computer with no noticable improvement (disk
defrag, removed temporary internet files, run virus and spyware checks,
removed programs I don't need, etc.)
