Hi Mr. Do!,

Point 1.

Msconfig is not the proper place to manage Services.
Go to Administrative tools / Services to manage Services.

Point 2. Unless you are positive that turning off a service is an
acceptable thing to do in your system. Than don't.

Point 3. There is more information available in the Services utility
including which other services may need these services to be available.
Right click a service and sellect Properties than look at Dependencies.
Beyond that a search might reveal much information.

You are playing with fire. Be carefull or you will be burnt.

HTH
Richard
