Thnx, i'm already using that guide.

Now i have a new problem, i used Services.msc to disable services i don't want (most of the services recomended to be disabled in that guide), i checked msconfig to make sure they have stopped and they have. However, after i reboot the machine some of them are running again according to msconfig. What am i doing wrong?

that's not entirely true from my recent experience. I get the Diagnostic & Repair mode message if i disable services in msconfig and then restart as recomended by XP. That doesn't happen if i do it via services.msc. And no, i didn't get that BSOD this time.
