RichTJ99 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi,I am a VMware 4.xx user & at one point I was able to see what services VMware 4.xx added & I set them from automatic to manual (so the program would start the services when the application was launched). I was curious what services Vmware 5.xx adds to a windows machine so that I can keep my PC performance up. I do not use VMware all that often (once a week) so the constant loading of VMware 5.xx services is not what I need for my system. Currently when I first start VMware 4.xx it takes a while for the program to load, the second time (before a reboot) it is speedy. I realize this is from the manual services that had to start the first time. Anyway, what services should be set to manual in Vmware 5.xx?Thanks,Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
