Thanks for the thoughts and trying to help But id rather avoid the trial and error path if i can as when i tried it i got odd errors like DirectX9 refusing to install with windows saying it has not passed microsoft logo Maybe it best if i just wait until Blkviper does a guide

Does Anybody know a webpage that explains what services you can turn off in windows 2003 when it is used as a stand alone desktop pc ? only page i know is blkviper.com for win2k and XP and it could be ages before he gets around to writing one for 2003 as he has other projects to do first Thanks Digz
