    And no file opens?

    I'm retiring for the night. In the meantime, unless anyone else has suggestions, follow the instructions here for:
    1. Run Disk Cleanup
    2. Run Check Disk
    3. Run Disk Defragmenter
    Click on Windows XP users and follow the instructions. You can use a temp file cleaner such as CCleaner if you have it installed instead of the MS disk cleanup utility.

    See how things go.

    If all else fails, you can run a clean install. :)

    Since you don't have any Toshiba utilities running, I guess the operating system installed was not the original.

    What is the full model number?

    Off to bed.
