SOUNDMAN is what makes my speakers work ...

so what should I http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h474/BunnySock/startup.jpg?

and please don't tell me stuff that will make my computer not operate correctly


oh and for those of you that are wondering the only item listed below "ctfmon" was yahoo

Most of the stuff there to be honest.

Quicktime, Nero, and anything labelled Adobe needs to be burned to the ground. Also, if I'm correct in assuming that the rest say "Cyberlink", you can disable those too.

As a rule of thumb, anything listed under startup processes are not absolutely required for your PC to run. Some things you will want to start of course, like antivirus software and such, but if you don't use it, chances are you won't need it on startup.

Also, ctfmon is a Microsoft Office helper process AFAIK.

so which stuff specifically sound i disable
