My computer (Thinkpad x220) is having annoying slow loading problem and the realNetworks program keeps giving a popup asking for permission to load. I ran msconfig trying to disable unnecessary programs that are running. I disabled most of the startup programs. Under the tab "Services", there are many running. Which of them definitely can not be disabled? I want to disable as many as possible. Thanks. (Even if the slow loading is not caused by these, I still would like to disable the unnecessary services and startups.)
P.S. It's Windows 7.

Well, here are a few you can disable unless you know you need them: 10+ Windows 7 services you may not need - TechRepublic.

Well, a good bit of them are required just to run the computer, so I certainly wouldn't disable *all* of the services. Though which ones are absolutely important, I can't remember off the top of my head.

Oh man, thanks for telling me! Glad I didn't go ahead to disable too many! Now I guess the slow loading may be caused by some website's ad videos.

Have a look at Blackviper.com, it's the holy grail of disabling windows services:

also i recommend ccleaner (portable) for removing startup programs, rather than just msconfig.Apollo13 likes this. -
