I called the Sprint support folks because my air card was
disconnecting and not reconnecting even though it was in NDIS mode.
Finally their tech support people got involved and suggested that I do
the following.

Run msconfig. Hide all MS services.
Disable all.
Apply.
Restart.
Run msconfig.
Enable all.
Restart.

The connection manager is auto starting. What effect will temporarily
disabling services have?

The effect depends on what services are disabled. Those features will not be available. It would mean antivirus and 3rd party firewalls will not be running.
