    Hello to anyone who can help. I just recieved my 6500t and did a clean install of Vista, but I still have around 60 processes going at all times. I think that this is to much, but I do not no which ones to stop or modify. These are the ones running.
    asghost.exe
    avgcc.exe
    BTStackerServer.exe
    Bttray.exe
    csrss.exe
    dwm.exe
    ehmsas.exe
    ehtray.exe
    explorer.exe
    Flashutil9d.exe
    ieuser.exe
    iexplore.exe
    jusched.exe
    MSASCui.exe
    QLBCTRL.exe
    QPService.exe
    RtHDVCpl.exe
    rundll32.exe
    rundll32.exe
    taskeng.exe
    taskmgr.exe
    winlogon.exe
    wmpnscfg.exe

    If anyone has any info or can recommend anything please let me know.
    Also I partitioned my hard drive when I did a Clean install, but windows still seems to be using up a lot of hard drive space. Any info on this would also help. Thank you!!!!!!
