Are you saying *all* of these should be off? Ive only picked out a few here.

- Windows Firewall << Extra level of security
- Automatic Updates << Let your windows box be hacked
- Crypto Provider << Used for encryption over networks and locally
- DNS Client << You won't be able to use the net without this
- Error Reporting << Apps main way of saying if something goes wrong
- Help and Support << Needed for any help system
- HID support << Reduce your keyboard input
- Network DDE << Very important on networks for some apps
- Network Connections << Without this you can't connect to anything
- Plug and Play << Says disabling causes system instability, which is true
