First of all start by checking your bootmenu. By installing various programs and applications, your bootmenu gets packed with useless crap. Just hit start -> run -> msconfig -> start-up The only process which is needed is called "ctfmon" + your virusscanner, mousedrivers etc...So you only need like 5 or 6 maximum.
Then try to look for useless services start -> run -> services.msc and switch off the ones you really don't need. Put the ones you sometimes use on "manual", they will only boot when needed.
If you still have too many processes, just google them or use liutilities, it really is an excellent site.
theres no such thing as a "normal" amount of processes. Depends wat is installed, however with 63 you can prolly safetly close at least half of them.....
