I have had this Toshiba laptop only for two years without using it much as I work mostly with desk top. A few days ago when I turned it off It notified that it will be downloading UPDATES BEFORE IT SHUTS DOWN. So I just went to bed thinking the computer is automatically will be shout down. However in the morning I noticed that it was not and it was frozen saying "one update could not be downloaded" Since then whenever I turn on the computer the cursor freezes and I am not able to do anything...It lasted about 5 minutes before it freeze, but now it take only one minute or so...I called Toshiba and paid $35...They told me to restore the computer to earliest days and that did not help I called again and the agent told me it has a HARDWARE PROBLEM and I should send it out for repair...Can someone please help what I should do?

it might be the battery, try plugging it in while doing that.

What operating system are you using? Windows XP? What was the last thing installed? IE7 or regular Windows updates. Assuming Windows 2000 or higher, press F8 every couple of seconds during the initial boot process. Select "Safe Mode". Once at the desktop you have a couple of options depending on your configuration. Attempt "Start", "Programs", "Accessories", "System Tools", "System Restore". Following the prompts, choose the latest date in bold prior to the lastest installed software. If system restore is off, choose "Start", "Control Panel", "Add / Remove Software", remove IE7 or latest installed software.

sounds like a faulty USB driver - i recommend uninstalling all USB drivers and using drivermax.com to get the correct ones. Your computer may have automatically updated your drivers incorrectly without you knowing.
Hope i could help
