• Open System Configuration. • From the Windows Vista default Start menu, in the Start Search box, type: msconfig, and then press the ENTER key. • In the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue. • The System Configuration window opens. • In the System Configuration window, click the Services tab. • On the Services tab, click to clear the check box of the service to be disabled. Note: Hide all Microsoft services is useful only for displaying services that are not provided by Microsoft. A helpful troubleshooting step is to disable all services that are not from Microsoft. • Click OK. • In the System Configuration window, to start the computer with the selected services disabled, click Restart.
