Hi, Please check this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproui/thread/d55794b6-b8e2-4e42-b55b-0d66b4e3dcbb If you need further assistance, please refer to the link Dave provided to ask in Windows 7 forum.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have used Toshiba's recommend upgrade path to Windows 7 for their Satalite laptops and continue to have crashing issues with this, now 3 year old laptop. Unless there's something more speicific you can suggest, I'm assuming my problem is acutally failing hardware. If you have another suggestion, I'm interested as buying a new laptop is not my favorite use of money and, 3 years is about all that can be expected these days. Thanks,BruceBruce Perler MSFT

I'd try a clean install rather then upgrade but you should be asking here. This group is for server operating systems. http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional -Microsoft MVP [Windows]
