Is it safe define a service I'm not sure if it is necessary to manual?

I'm vaguely something XP Recalling the definition of the services that you are not sure if they are necessary or not in 'manual', and I wonder if I can screw up the system by assigning accidentally bad service on 'manual' instead of the way automatic which I can in disabling their?

There are several services that I'm not sure that I need at all, and a few that I know I will only need 1/2 the time, depending on where I use the laptop. I leave these set some automatic because it is impossible to predict when times are and what it takes depends on my position.

in any case, it's Vista Home Premium on a laptop with only 1 GB of RAM, so turn off everything that I don't absolutely need is vital. Is it safe to put everything on 'manual' for example?

Otherwise, what must absolutely be set to 'automatic '?

I'm looking at these two sites for advice on what can be disabled:

http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/servicecfg.htm

http://www.optimizingpc.com/Vista/optimizing_windows_services.html

You will need to try and see what happens. Some programs will automatically
start a service set to manual, when he needs it. Other programs seek only
service running and therefore do not start the service if it is not executed
(Windows Defender is an example).
 
For example, ITunes has 4 or 5 services. Autostart will iTunes all but one
of them (Hello service). For example, you can configure all services with ITunes
in the name of manuel. But the bonjour service must be automatic (or you
need to start it manually).
 
DO NOT set all manual.
 
Use these sites to guide you.

    I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017.  MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?

    Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.

    That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A505-s6970: Toshiba Service Station does not work on Windows 7

    Hey guys I need your help,

    I installed windows 7 ultimate on my toshiba Satellite A505 s6970 and I downloaded all the drivers from http://www.csd.toshiba.com/ and I installed all.

    When I open the Device Manager, 3 devices are not installed (Base-2 system device / / 1-Unknown device).
    Then I installed toshiba service station (Windows Vista / 7 32-64 bit because my windows is 64) it will search for and automatically download all necessary devices, but it does not work on windows 7, it worked perfectly in windows vista.

    Also the eco utility does not work, and the media touch buttons work just fine, but without giving that voice tone.

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    To be honest I have no experience with this tool.
    I m using Tempro.

    However, I guess that Toshiba service station was not tested and not designed for Win 7 at the moment.
    You may need to wait for the next update that works correctly with Windows 7.

    You must understand that the Windows 7 drivers have been released in Beta version, it would mean that the final version would be released in the near future
    In my opinion, you should take a look from time to time on the Toshiba page we.
    I noticed that each new day pilot is released and released.

  • Windows Update service works do not (Windows 7)

    If I try to start the service manually from the Services application does not list.  Or too much Security Center.

    I was victim of a malware attack.  I used Malwarebytes to remove it.

    Although these programs are good to get rid of the infected files that they do not repair your windows later.  This worm has made it impossible for me to run Windows Update, it took the Security Center and more likely

    I tried to run the malware malicious software from Microsoft but that did not help either

    Now, my reaction is to reinstal windows but my laptop didn't come with a CD, the Windows 7 Starter has been preloaded and I don't have the money currently upgrading to Windows 7 family or professional.
