I have a bunch of pesky processes using up my resources. I launched msconfig, went to the start up tab and found them. Now, how can I tell which to leave on(have to have) and which I can change to optional launch? I turned off a bunch and was unable to enable Norton anti-virus (particularly a bad idea these days) Good advice would be nice!! Thnx
