Laptop will not boot if battery is installed

This wonderful laptop works fine if the battery is not installed. If the battery is installed it will not boot up at all. Tried new battery - same result. Any ideas? :0( I would like to be able to use this with the battery.

    Thank you so much - we tried that now...we get a message the installed battery may not be compatibly with computer or installed correctly (but it is the right battery and is installed correctly). The battery light continues to flash on and off? :0( Thank you for helping though...any other ideas?

Have you tried going through the setup screen and selecting the default values for the BIOS? Usually that is necessary any time the battery power is lost.

Gigaware optical wireless mouse - does not work

Sounds like a Ebay sold mouse with non matching receiver to mouse.
Best laptop wireless mouse to buy in my opinion is Logitech VX Nano from Staples or some store like it.Work wonderful and battery life excellent. Windows Xp,Vista,Windows7 install the driver auto for you. Don't need the cd at all

Toshiba Satellite M35x-S1142 Turn off problem

Was something new installed. It's failing during the driver load. You can quick fix it, maybe, by booting and pressing the F8 key, then selecting Last Good Configuration (words of that effect). If that does not work, boot with F8 and trace each driver as it loads. The one it stops on is the one you want to deal with. Boot in Safe Mode again and try to fix the problem. Do you have anything showing up under the Question Mark in device drivers? You may need to deal with the problem on that level also. Cheers.
