Does XP Home have services.msc?

[shawn]

I know XP Home doesn't have gpedit.msc.. does it still have services.msc?

I bought an Acer Revo.. you know little nettop unit. It's slow as balls, but
it's good enough for my Girlfriend's Daughter to surf the web, etc.

I bought a Netgear USB Wireless-G adapter, but their software won't run for
some reason.

They suggest to run Wireless Zero Configuration by going into services.msc.

I'm at work right now looking for solutions before I get home from work..
does XP Home have services.msc even?

Yes.

Also consider the unit might be slow for other reasons, including:

- malware

- too many programs/processes running for the amount of RAM installed

It is important to determine if the PC is slow, or just the connection!
