Responder, Background, & AppleTalk: Purpose in System Folder



I am having problems with System 6.0.5 bombing. What are the functions of
Responder, Background, and AppleTalk in the System folder? Are they needed?
Could they be the cause of my problems?


* You can remove Responder if you are not using Inter*Poll for network
 troubleshooting.

* Backgrounder writes temporary files for background printing under
 MultiFinder.  Do not delete this file.

* AppleTalk is a patch to the AppleTalk that is in ROM. It is needed for
 the efficient use of any network device.  Do not remove it.

If you are having bomb problems, we suggest you start up from the System
Tools diskette, trash your current System folder, and use the Installer to
re-install the System folder.
