On Monday my computer started to get warm and the fan started running noticably for the first time since I purchased in December 2006. Everything has been slow this week: moving from program to program, document to document, slow internet, typing sometimes is delayed, programs have become unresponsive more than normal with those error mesages being sent to Microsoft. I have done all the upgrades from Microsoft and everything seems to be up to date for my Onecare. Have done a defragment. None of this has really helped. Even now as I type the toolbar at the bottom of the page has disappeared as have the documents I had open and was working on, including outlook. I also get thios message NView desktop manager has detected that the application explorer is not responding.

Have received some help from Toshiba. Time will tell if all the things I did will help. Did defragment, disk clean up, and about 3 other things they suggest for keeping things running well. They directed to microsoftr web page for these items. I am concerned that my hard drive is preparing to crash.
-   I have a similar problem...my laptop started to make a whistleing sound and overheating...the fan is making this problem...can anyone help me!! I don't know what 2 do.
It sounds like you've already started doing some things that can help you discover what is causing this problem, and that's good, but before I offer any more ideas, can you please tell me two things:
1. How much RAM (memory) does your computer have?
2. How much total hard disk space does your computer have, and of that, how much is available?
don't run extra programs you are not really using and save you computer performance.
also you might want to give your computer a goooooood virus check. some viruses o tend to give such problems.
it might also depen from some hardware problem but that is least probable.
If you get REALLY desperate you might need to format you computer,
i hope you resolve you problem cos i have been living with a really some computer for years (it was really old) and have only lately upgraded my computer, and slow computers drive you crazy
