Subject:RE: Error starting Acid... Reply by: salad Date:9/23/2002 9:23:34 AM Don't know about SForge, but it seems VV and Acid are the only app's out there that seem to need(if it's a need)this service enabled...referring to the above solution. Now that I have everything set up/installed, my Win XP runs perfectly on just 5 services(not internet or network connected/no scanner or printer/no sys restore etc). Starting VV also starts the Windows Image Aquisition service. So, if you don't use your scanner much or don't have one, disable that one, cuz setting to manual on some of these services does no good.

Subject:RE: Error starting Acid... Reply by: Mus Date:9/23/2002 1:52:18 PM Oh btw does it matter if it's set to Manual or Automatic?
Subject:RE: Error starting Acid... Reply by: Iacobus Date:9/23/2002 2:16:26 PM Kinda. Set it to "Manual" if you need to choose. XP will not load the service unless it needs it. Setting it to "Automatic" will load the service on startup. Iacobus
