Poorly laptop

[taximania]

I was right. My CD/DVD drive had died. Got a new ish one off Ebay and I'm back up and running on the big screen laptop

Also got a bargain. My old CD/DVD drive was a slow CD/DVD-RW,
The one I bought was an exact model number but the seller has sent me a faster Multi Recorder CD/DVD - + RW

Bargain Hope he doesn't ask for it back.

Saved me £25 quid.

I too have done my PC, what a difference a fresh install of XP makes and with McAfee gone it flies.
Only problem I had was that I was missing one of the drivers, all the system could tell me was that it was an 'unknown device'. After trying every driver and its cousins cousin I finally found it was the 'Intel Quick Resume' driver - what a waste of time!
Oh well, all up and running and looking good.

My first job was to de-install Norton.
Toshiba must have a deal with them.
AVG 7.5 Free installed now.
