Greets, gang--
my old/slow XP pro box finally went to Valhalla (after serving well from Vegas 3-7), and as a near-term replacement i went with a Vista box. I've (using V8 pro) killed as many Vista features as possible, getting it as close as possible to bare bones OS for editing. No real problems so far, though a mix of capture to external drive ops have given me a couple of BSOD's, locked up VidCap etc. Other than these it's seeming solid so far (well... as far as it can seem 'solid' compared to the near-faultless XP box).
Question: for years i've kept a list of 'leave-on processes' for XP, that give one a roster of what background procs can be killed for performance/reliability increase. Not surprisingly, Vista has a bunch more procs going on.
Is there a current editing-specific (and V8P specific, specifically) leave-on procs list for Vista? I've been snooping here and have not found any. There look like a bunch of antsy procs going in Vista-- what can i nix?
Thanks, group
