Solved i hope this is the right place to post this!
I am running an Acer 5315 with Vista Basic. It's OLD and SLOW! I was hoping to speed things up by removing programs from the start up but I'm not sure if I can or should remove these. All I use this comp for is Google, Youtube and Facebook. I play a lot of games. Mafia Wars, Candy Crush Saga... and so on. I have turned off a lot of stuff already, but I am unsure if I should disable these:
I hope you can see the image.
Thanks for any help given! I am a hopeless tech-tard.

How do I expand the columns? And how do I check the RAM?
Is this what you wanted?
And it says I have : Memory (RAM): 1.00 GB

You don't really "need" to have any of those running. You really should get more ram. Is this a laptop or desktop?

I'm a little late getting here but thought I'd add, you can disable startup programs individually with CCleaner:
CCleaner Free Download
It also tell you what the program actually is as opposed to a lot of computer lingo. Just disable a program and restart to see how it effects your system. If something doesn't work right, just enable it again.
If you're not sure of what something is, try Googling it, you should be able to figure it out. Better safe than sorry.
