      well that was taken care of lol what im asking now is if i should delete the aforementioned driver from that exceprt from the windows discussion board.  i had talked about a hang time during startup, and I wanted to see if deleting it could make it load faster.

      Well, create restore point, and go for it.

        They're not talking about deleting, but renaming files. Deleting any system file is dangerous.

          OK so im trying to bring the comp back to its out-of-box state(i bought it used so i want it to be fresh) but when I do what it says in the user guide, it doesnt work :(  It says to hold down zero while powering on, but when i do that all it does is make a lot of loud beeping noises.

            using toshiba's recovery software which is supposed to be partitioned into the hard drive, but when I do what it says on the user's guide which is loaded on my computer, it doesnt work.  It just beeps real loud :(  Is there another way to do it?

            You have to boot with that CD in order to run recovery program.
            You can't do this from within Windows.

              I'm sorry, I didn't read your reply carefully enough.
              If your computer has recovery partition, you should be able to access it.
              What's Toshiba model? Desktop, or laptop?

                Are you following these steps: http://209.167.114.38/support/techsupport/tsbs/all/-TSB001018.htm?
                That's in case, your laptop DOES have recovery partition. I couldn't find straight answer to this question.
