Everyone I know who has bought a Toshiba laptop computer has had major problems, unresolved. Mine was under the original warranty when it failed twice. This was the early WinXP installation before SP2. The components installed were not truly XP compatible, or SP2 compatible! They offered generic drivers as a resolution, but still nothing but blue screen errors! It was sent back to Tosshiba twice, but the issue was never solved. It was the Yamaha sound card that was incomatible, with no available working driber for the Toshiba. Ever. Then in several more times under the extended warranty. Still nothing fixed, and I was without my computer for more than 6 months total. Since the sound card is a permanent part of the mother board, it cannot be changed, there is no solution but to disable the sound card and never install SP2. Then it worked. But no sound in a $2600 "top of the line" computer. Never again.
