    you dont need anything in STARTUP but it would be wise to keep your AV stuff in it. everything else can be started from the START button digitalinedetect is probably your broadband if you have a modem login and not a router. apoint might be a mousepad thing the sygmatel thing might be worth keeping Ecenter is for your acer recovery options so keep that as well
