Can somebody help me with what services etc I can cut down on my laptop - I replaced the keyboard yesterday with a new one (it has been dropped a couple of times and some of the keys had come off, and a couple weren't working). New keyboard cost all of £9.29 from the Internet and took the removal of 3 screws to replace it.

 

I have a Dell Studio 1555 which I mostly use for emails, internet and audio books.

 

What services do you have running and what version of Windows are you running?

 

To get a list of services that run on boot, press Windows key & R, then in the dialog box type msconfig. A new screen will open, select the services tab, and tick "hide all microsoft services"

Despite all the jokes, switching it off and back on again is one of the most useful IT fixes going.

 

Sounds like the VM is back to normal then, looking at those figures.

 

I'm on 8.1 - it's very similar to 8, but you get a start menu in the bottom right, and can choose to boot to desktop instead of the start tiles screen.

tried glary; the reg repair, sfc again (clean), error check (no errors), uninstall (same message as before). still no joy!

thinking about doing a w7 sp1 repair install? do you think that will help?

and/or the MS Install Clean Up utility?

any thoughts? thanks.

 

Did you see if you had the windows update I mentioned before? A googly suggests that it could have caused issues!
