Startup on Win Xp Home question

[brando1]

I have a Hp Pavilion 511w running Win Xp Home SP1, it is running really slow, i have run antivirus and ad-aware, they found no virus or spyware. I am going to give you a list of what's at startup.

RUNDLL32
ISSTART
winamapa
jusched
wcmdmgrl
schost
S3tray2
RECGUARD
ps2
LXSUPMON
KBD
igfxtray
hpsysdrv
hkcmd
hpztsb09
hphupd05
hpcmpmgr
HPWuSchd
hphmon5
ct

The other question i have is, what should be running at startup out of this list, i have an HP Photosmart 7260 printer, there is 256MB RAM, and a 1.2 Ghz Celeron processor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for your help.

brando1 -
Looks pretty straight forward for running processes, but as you may know there can still be many not displayed there. From your list, one I know that can tax your system is the wcmdmgrl - WildTangent (which many report as Spyware).

HP items can be semi-taxing, especially if there set to constantly look for updates at startup. Also, you stated you have an HP Printer yet you're loading LexMark Print services/drivers (LXSUPMON). Maybe you used to have one? If you're not using a LexMark I would remove that service. Perhaps it's looking for a LexMark printer and slowing things down.

Good Luck.
