    Mine didn't have a lot of bloat. Some Norton demo/trial, some office demos/trials and a bunch of games I'll never play. Everything else I remember was driver related.

    Guess I answered my own question, found this here.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/win...startup-programs-do-i-need-detailed-list.html

    Btw I had the Google tool bar, Norton, office, works, Lots of Toshiba items that I have no need for. those are the ones I would like to know what I need and I found all that here. When I do the Microsoft do the Performance test it tells me my system has too many start up items.. Hmm maybe that's why I am getting wedges not loading on start up. plus sometimes the audio icon says the service is not responding, yet I hear sound. just little things like that are happening and I am sure as suger it's because too many items are starting up on startup.

    If you have your own OS license, start it clean and install only what you want. You get your partitions the way YOU want, the software the way YOU want. That's always the best way, but not necessarily the easiest.
