Take it back to Toshiba and tell them you are not happy with the product
they sold you.
Also ask if they can supply the next PC without a sticky caps lock key.

Ouch! Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if type normally, in
mixed case.

There's no way anyone can tell what your problems are from the *tiny*
amount of information you've provided. All anyone can do is guess, and
I'd rather not guess.

Start by telling us the hardware configuration of your computer.

What version of Vista? What applications do you run on it.

Describe the problem. How poor is "so poor"? Be specific. Put a number
on how long it takes to do something. Is performance always poor or
only when doing some things? What things? Are there other problems?
Describe them.

How old is the computer? Did Vista come pre-installed or did you
upgrade to it? Has the performance always been poor, or has it gotten
worse? When did the poor performance start? What changes (software
installation, downloads, etc.) did you make just before it started?

What does "JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING I KNOW" mean? Exactly *what* have you
tried?

What anti-virus and anti-spyware programs do you run? Are they kept up
to date.

Interesting. You buy a laptop that hangs/crashes at every turn and you auto
blame the OS?
You could be right, it could be the Vista config but have you considered
that you may have a faulty hardware/config/etc?
Tell us what "tried everything I know" entails and we may be able to tell
you whether the problem is laptop of OD related.

The software you are running is the culprit here. I've narrowed down
the most likely suspects:

*nero7*
Nero 7 has known compatibility issues with Vista. Upgrade to Nero 8.

*regcure*
This is a registry cleaner, right? Get rid of it - Registry cleaners
create more problems than they "solve". Get rid of it!

*shareaza3*
Don't know what this is, but a google for it revealed nothing but
hacker sites and pirate software download sites. Get rid of it.

*rammedic*
This appears to be a legit program, but it's system requirements do not
specify Vista - this explains why it's eating 100% CPU cycles when in
use. Get rid of it.

Those highlighted in orange or red are the most likely culprits for
your sluggish performance, and should be uninstalled.

You left out the most important thing. How much RAM?

Ugh! Registry cleaners cause problems, they don't solve them.

CCleaner is OK *if* you don't use its registry cleaning functions.

No anti-spyware programs? Just a guess, but poor performance is often
a symptom of spyware infection.

As I said, these are likely to make your problems worse, not better.

Vista runs very well *if* it has a good enough hardware configuration.
You didn't tell us how much RAM you have, but if it's less than 2GB,
it will never run well.

Over and above that, as I said, I suspect spyware infection.

supposed to be vista compatible.shareaza is p2p network which i monitor very
closely and will keep it also.I don't think it is infected. Iget up dates
daily for new data base from nod32. I don't know about hardware config. that
