    You have a lot of things running from Sony that you don't really need. If you are not comfortable doing a full clean install, I would suggest you at least do the semi-clean install (see the sticky thread in this forum for links). Also look at the Vista Tweaks thread for tips: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=166532

    You'll just have to do some homework to learn what you can or cannot turn off depending on your usage and needs.
