RE: Getting a VERY SLOW start up and Black Screen that flashes on

Mick- I uninstalled my Micro. Live One Care, my pogo games and all the wild
tangent that came with the toshiba laptop...The computer does handle media
and video and gaming...

I restarted my computer- it was faster but i STILL had a regular screen,
then a black screen, then a regular screen again...I know I do NOT have any
virus nor spyware...as LiveOne did a scan last ntie that ran for 6 hrs..and
McAfee also ran a scan...

Is there anything to get rid of this black screnn or do I just live with it...

I have 2 gig of memory ( 2038MB)

32 bit operating system

Intel CPU T2250 @ 1.73 ghz

It is a Toshiba Satellite A 135-S4427 Laptop
that came with Win Vista Home Premium.

Thanks and all other help with be wonderful...
