    ok i will admit i am a windows idiot. but i'm totally confused. i generally install all sony updates as i figure they will work the best (my tech did a semi clean install) everything is working fine after the 8/9 and 8/16 update by i seem to have 3 different wireless switching options in my system tray. not sure if this harms or confuses my system. i seem to be able to switch bluetooth/wlan using smart wi, the windows switcher and the intel pro set switcher. is this bad? what do i get rid of? why does the sony update icon remain in my tray and tell me i need to install the hard drive protector thing even though i've done that twice? i am going to double post this because i would like a wide audience to weigh in. thanks for your answers. 160 pc with 2gb ram

    I was also afraid to uninstall any of the wireless startup items, but why so many of them. Must they all remain?
