Windows Task Manager - Processes Running

[05 VZ SS]

Ok..As the title suggests...I have about 66 processes running..How do I know what to switch off so my compouter isn't so slow..its a laptop..Or Should I take it somewhere if i don't know what i am doing...
Any help would be appreciated...

66 seems a bit too high, hard to say which ones needed turning off without a screen shot, but one thing I tell you is not to stop those process with a 'system' tag on it.

Once you have it installed run a scan and save a log file.
email the log file to me and I will tell you what you can remove

Can you tell us what processes are running, or give us a screenshot? In most cases 66 is definately not normal.
