    Hi guys, this is my first post, if I posted anything wrong please forgive me.

    Regarding this laptop Acer Aspire 5672WLMi, it's been really giving me problems for the past 1++ years what I'm saying is the background processes that's really eating into this system. All these while i noticed when i helped my friend with their Clean OS installation (they have the OS disk) i realised only 13-15 core processes that are running to keep the computer going. Currently my processes are at a staggering 70-80.

    See for different regions, different softwares CDs and kits are provided I believe. For my side, Asia, the XP Pro OS comes installed straight into my lappy with all the bloatware and stuff. I do not have the clean XP pro CD except for the recovery CD in which Acer provides.

    For all the Acer users out there, we all know there's this program that's called acer empowering technology which re-install the OS together with the bloatware to the C: drive normally. I realised that after everytime OS is reinstalled by this way, Acer reinstalls all the drivers and bloatware together to the system.

    Note, i don't have the clean XP Pro OS cd, only the image in which acer provides. I really want a clean OS install without any drivers and bloatware that acer provides. I also know that there's a forum that is regarding Acer 5672 WMLi, which is of little help because i realised most of the users have the clean OS CD.

    Please help me out will anyone? Thanks a lot :)
