Hiding/disabling services effects.

[goodTweetieBird]

I called the Sprint support folks because my air card was
disconnecting and not reconnecting even though it was in NDIS mode.
Finally their tech support people got involved and suggested that I do
the following.

Run msconfig. Hide all MS services.
Disable all.
Apply.
Restart.
Run msconfig.
Enable all.
Restart.

The connection manager is auto starting. What effect will temporarily
disabling services have?

Thanks,

Good Tweety Bird,

What on earth are they giving you that info for? I wouldn't suggest you do
that at all. If you disable all the services then I doubt if your computer
will boot at all because you have the security services amoung others & the
machine won't be able to apply security setting or others.

Why do you need to do these things?

Please elaborate on what you have initially wrote

They seemed to be suggesting he disable all non-Microsoft services,
though I agree I don't see what good it would do to do that and then
immediately re-enable them
