Several services set to start manually, dont startup when called.

This is since SP2 installation. I'd be grateful if someone can confirm if
MS knows about this already.

I dont want all services running in background. Takes up processor time and
memory.

Are you such a noob that you don't know even that?

Aye, some services are called by other programs and services when needed.
Since SP2, they no longer startup when called -which is the problem I stated
in my first post noob?
