I have followed most of your steps and have reduced my "processes" to 60 from 
80...so far we have made some progress.  However, I am still concerned about 
some of the other processes in my task manager; for instance, I have three 
svxhost.exe's running.  Are there other steps I should follow? R. McCarty 
suggested using "Startups & Watchdog apps." and another user suggested 
"Process Explorer".

By the way, thanks to everyone who has been helping so far.
