I'm getting so weary of re-installments. Microsoft say's
to turn off un-needed services. Where can I find a page
which states the bare mininum of services,how to turn
them off/on and by which you could still operate a home
computer with internet capability?

I don't hear of Macs having the same level of problems
and am seriously thinking of switching.
