Click the Hide all Microsoft services box, then you can disable some/all remaining services and see what happens.
With Windows 7, I don't mess with Services at all. I do disable some Startup items though.Computer Type: PC/Desktop

Hi, I just bought this ASUS laptop about 3 months ago and ever since then have been facing this problem and I'm unable to fix it.
The computer will stop responding, the cursor shows the busy blue ring (spinning, not frozen), and I can still move the blue ring around, but unable to click on...
Maybe this sounds weird, but I like the classic cursors and I want the cursor to stay the same whether it's showing a background or busy activity.
