Steve, that is my point in frustration. There are so many problems in
Vista,
I can't believe it was released. I see the same frustrations and problems
I
have on other forums, and co-works. Everyone I talk to has the same
complaints. It's not me dude, it's the software.

Vista would be a night mare if you put it over a piece of hardware not
designed for Vista. Only a new machine with specific hardware and approved
drivers should be used. Some computer makers try to recycle old hardware
with a new operating system and call it a new machine. It has been long
enough now there should be proper drivers for old hardware. If you have the
time, look at the production date of your hardware in the Toshiba. I bet it
was retooled for Vista and released just about the same time Vista was
coming out.

Did you get it on a brand new Toshiba? Or did you pieces part a machine
with your old hardware you don't want to part with? Not saying it is your
fault, but Vista is an animal that is very specific in what is will run.
[Yes that does not make MS friends with a lot of users] It had a bad
reputation with techies when it leaked out about the hardware dumbing down
it will do. It is NOT as flexible as 2000, or even XP. That is my
complaint. I don't do techy stuff with my Vista machine. It is only for
production, web pages, email and communiction and surfing the Internet.
