Would highly recommend this laptop to anyone. Solid laptop. No issues with the performance of this laptop. Good bang for your buck. This is a great laptop if your going to use if for your average (not COD:4 gaming) work. Upgrade your ram, I upgraded to 2.5gigs and things really smoothed out in Vista.

Media care

This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD/DVDs and floppy disks. Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will increase the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on them:

CD/DVDs

1. Store your CD/DVDs in the container they came in to protect them and keep them clean. 2. Do not bend the CD/DVD. 3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the CD/DVD that contains data. 4. Hold the CD/DVD by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole. Fingerprints on the surface can prevent the drive from properly reading data. 5. Do not expose to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Do not place heavy objects on your CD/DVDs. 6. If your CD/DVDs become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry cloth. Wipe from the center out, do not wipe in a circular direction around the CD/DVD. If necessary, use a cloth dampened in water or a neutral cleaner. Do not use benzine, thinner or similar cleaner.

Floppy disks

1. Store your floppy disks in the container they came in to protect them and keep them clean. If a floppy disk is dirty, do not use cleaning fluid. Clean it with a soft damp cloth. 2. Never open the shutter or touch the magnetic surface of your floppy disk. You could permanently damage it and lose data. 3. Always handle floppy disks with care, to prevent the loss of stored data. Always apply the floppy disk label in the correct location. Never apply a new label on top of an existing one. The label could come loose and damage the floppy drive. 4. Never use a pencil for writing on a floppy disk label. Pencil lead dust could cause a system malfunction. Always use a felt-tipped pen. When writing a title on a label, first write on the label, then apply the label to the floppy disk. 5. Never put a floppy disk in a location where water or other liquid may contact it or where it is excessively damp. It could cause data loss. Never use a wet or damp floppy disk. It could damage the floppy disk drive or other devices. 6. Data may be lost if the floppy disk is twisted; bent; or exposed to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold.

Sometimes the system gives clues that can help you identify why it is malfunctioning. Keep the following questions in mind: Which part of the system is not operating properly: keyboard, floppy disk drives, hard disk drive, optical disk drive, display. Each device produces different symptoms. Is the operating system configuration set properly? Check the configuration options. What appears on the display screen? Does it display any messages or random characters? If you have a printer attached, print a copy of the screen using PrtSc. Look up the messages in the software and operating system documentation. Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached. Loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals. Do any indicators light? Which ones? What color are they? Do they stay on or blink? Write down what you see. Do you hear any beeps? How many? Are they long or short? Are they high pitched or low? Is the computer making any unusual noises? Write down what you hear. Record your observations so you can describe them to your dealer.
The problems may be caused by your software or disk. If you cannot load a software package, the media may be damaged or the program might be corrupted. Try loading another copy of the software. If an error message appears while you are using a software package, check the software documentation. These documents usually include a problem solving section or a summary of error messages. Next, check any error messages in the operating system documentation. If you cannot find a software problem, check your hardware. First run through the items in the preliminary checklist above. If you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify the source. The next section provides checklists for individual components and peripherals.
Before using a peripheral device or application software that is not an authorized Toshiba part or product, make sure the device or software can be used with your PC. Use of incompatible devices may cause injury or may damage your PC.
