Never
ever use msconfig to manage services.
The problem with using msconfig to manage services is that unchecking it makes Windows stop and completely disable the service. In some instances, it would just be preferrable to set the service to "Manual" startup, where it doesn't automatically start up, but it will load when it's needed.
It also allows you to, even if by accident, disable core services, like RPC, which will end up just screwing your computer over. If you use the Services applet in the Administratve Tools folder in the Control Panel, it won't allow you to make changes to critically important services.
Just use services.msc, it's safer, and sometimes third party services have descriptions as to what their service does.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
