Hi having had more experience with win98 than XPpro, I am now looking for a list of the bare minimum number of system items / background programs that need to be left running in the taskmanager to give me an internet connection, and allow a game such as everquest and msn messenger to run without getting a crash, if anyone is unsue please point me in the right direction to find out what things like rundll32 mean etc. thanks Bill
