| | RE: Task Manager Just about everything needs to be running. Vista handles background programs fine. You can use Windows Defender's Software Explorer to disable the bad programs like Creative's helper and tools--which really screw up Startup. You can also see what is starting up and where it comes from in Software Explorer.
