CLEANUP STARTUP ITEMS IN MSCONFIG. Do you ever uninstall programs and they are still listed under startup items in msconfig? Personally, I found myself with 30 such items from old installs. Microsoft leaves you no way to clean up this list, but have no fear, I have figured it out for you. 1. Open MSconfig and click on the startup items tab 2. Open Regedit and naviate to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Sharedtools/MSconfig/startupreg 3. Compare the list of registry keys under startup reg with their counterparts in msconfig. 4. Delete the keys which are no longer valid. 5. Voila! You've cleaned up msconfig.

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\find the service that will not function, do to another service being disabled/uninstall (found in ControlSet001\Services, ControlSet002\Services, and CurrentControlSet\Services) 3. Once you have found the service right-click on the string value, "DependOnService,"and modify 4. You should now see a list of services that it is dependent on. Simply delete the service that you have disabled/uninstalled
