Now I need someone whose good at telling what is running on computers. Some of this stuff I can recognize, but just in case I thought I'd double check with someone on the HH forums.
Now your probably saying, "No good throwing this at me because I don't know what you want running." So let me put this simply: I just wanna play TF2. So If I was playing TF2, what from this list would slow me down dramatically? Anything like MSN doesn't count, because thats just what I had running at the time. Thanks guys. =)

this is only a rough guide btw but if its system/local service/network service, dont touch it. if its svchost.exe, dont touch it. anything else remove/delete and see what crashes and what doesn't, restart strike it off the list, it fairly long and unorthodox but it works. the only things on my pc that take up mem (when nothing running) is explorer.exe, svchost.exe cpu = system idle process, nothing should drain cpu when nothing is running

One way to speed this up is to stop all unnecesary processes before they start, go to run, type msconfig and go to startup tab, uncheck what you dont need.
qtttask Itunes helper
can both be safely unchecked, as can 90% of the other stuff (i only have 4/30 checked just to give you an idea the only ones i have running are:
ashdisp (avast) Teatimer (Spybot S&D) RTHDCPL (sound thing, because i have a lot of inputs and outputs running in parralel) CTFMON (neccesary process) WMPNSCFG (so i can network to my xbox))
Following that go to services tab, check HIDE ALL MICROSOFT SERVICES, and uncheck the remaining services as appropriate, stuff like live messenger setup can be disabled as they arnt needed till you start msn messenger at which point they start themselves IPOD service and apple and bonjour can also all be stopped
BE CAREFUL unchecking an important entry like a windows service can screw up your startup DO NOT UNCHECK IF YOUR NOT SURE, google the process before unchecking it (<process name> process library) and check it out before hand
Reinstall windows and dont install all the crap simple as
Its obvious which stuff yo dont need as they are Apps you installed, jsut disable them on startup and be carful when touchung processes you dont know i.e. google them simple and mostly tells you what a process does
C:\WINDOWS1\system32\PnkBstrA.exe C:\WINDOWS1\system32\PnkBstrB.exe You dont need them running if you only play tf2 as they are Anitcheat for games liek BF Tf2 uses Valve Anticheat which is frankly a laod of turd
Disable it then until you run a game that needs it you can safely turn it of in msconfig, where you can leave it until you need it (then recheck it and restart) 90% of the time its not needed...
