Ive got mine to about 46 now still seems like loads though compared to an xp setup, try and disable some things from startup from msconfig and see what non microsoft services are running in msconfig aswell

Mines on 44, and I haven't done anything to remove any... Must have added a load with the things I've installed to run at start-up, too... :confused:

Got mine down to 31, theres a few sites if you type "Vista services" into google about what you can turn off, there is a surprising amount

And everything still works great with me
