"Your link references XP, not Vista. Though some of services in Vista are
still the same as XP's, there are quite a few that are different."
I know--it's been around for more than 10 months and I've been using it.
One of the first things I did when I got Vista was to use a search engine to
nail the services and the processes in task manager I couldn't identify.
Why have yuo been sitting on your hands and not done this Tom? You're a big
boy and you have the web and access to search engines--use them. My link is
one of the few to start posting Vista books. Those have information that
MSFT refuses to provide you and the link hasn't updated for Vista yet
because information needed is being witheld because MSFT is not getting off
its lazy ass and publishing it. 3rd party books are putting out more info
than MSFT is on major components of Vista. Beta testers are being denied
key information that TAP testers are getting.
This sentence below makes no coherent sense in English: What service are
you talking about? This sentence is double-talk. This is the most
eggregious crap sentence I've seen by someone asking for help in months.
Someone posted about not dissing the helpees--the same goes for the helpers.
" As far as
the service I mentioned (misnomer on my part), it is something that starts
up with Windows that can only be turned off by resetting some security
features (you can look around and test for yourself); I don't want to give
some who may be more curious than needed, to know how to do this and
(possibly) cause a more serious issue."
That's simply not coherent. You can't expect us to help you with a
purported entity you call a service that's causing trouble if you won't name
it. If you're into "Jeapordy" it's on TV several stations. I don't have to
address the OP's concern with Java because Java has not a damn thing to do
with how Vista runs or doesn't run well. I didn't generalize anything as
the cause of the problems. I just recommended logical steps. I don't have
a Windows box that isn't running well because I follow them.
It takes a few tenths of a second to find a service guide or to google for
services or processes you don't know --a lot less time than it did for you
to construct sentences of total jibberish.

If additional services are in Beta 2 or RC1 or RC2 than google por ise a
searchj engine even MSN accordingly.
