Welcome... I might run CCleaner again .. it really should take just moments unless you have Tons & Tons of old outdated files. I don't think ive ever seen it run more than maybe 3 or 4 minutes. Mostly less than one minute. That's a good program to run, for basic trash cleaning, about once per week. This post was edited by mikie on Mon, Mar 11, 13 at 23:56

Updated and run the malewares. All checked out okay except for tracking cookies which I deleted. Today, I noticed the computer will shut down on its own and restart the same way. When it does, it does a chkdsk. I noticed this happed twice today when the computer was on but I was away from it (shower, then cooking). Not sure what's going on. I checked my memory that there's plenty left, more than plenty. Raven: I didn't do a scan of Partition D, should I? I just did Partition C. I'm at a loss at this point. I only had one freeze up today, and the rest where all with the computer shutting down itself. This is the latest message I got on the computer: Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. A problem caused Windows to stop working. Also, that round spinny thing is taking a long time to do what it had to do.

I just bought a Toshiba L45 bottom line laptop for $450 after $150 rebate. Luckily it has a Pentium Mobile Dual Core processor, dual layer dvd burner, wifi, 5400rpm hard drive, 1Gb memory, graphic card with 128 mem and can use system ram too, 15.4 inch true-bright display. Sent 90 bucks to an etailer for 2gb of Kingston memory and a 4gb sandisk usb drive for Vista's readyBoost feature. Works nifty actually on 1GB, a 1gb flash drive does give it some added snappyness. I have a wifi enaabled modem from my isp, which was free. And a second wifi access point out back because there's a dead spot where I sit out there. Not much to it really. You dont need to send much if you watch for the sales... I prefer to stay away from the celery type mobile processor because they can get more hotter on your lap than most and dont think they have the power savings flexabilities. I'm replacing a 4 plus yr old toshiba that I broke and will mickey mouse it back together one way or another and probably make it a part time server and back up computer so I can make my old desktop into something with a coolness old factor. It uses too much electricity so I cant run it full time. I'm rambling... its way to cold and windy out there, 45°/8:30am .... which is like ..freezing to me.

IF the laptop is that new I would contact the manufacturer first, they may know of a known bug and have an update to fix it. If not then I would talk to them about a replacement or having someone take a look at it. A brand new laptop should not be giving you that type of freeze up issue where you have to do a hard shutdown. in most cases the jumping cursor is a very sensitive touch pad that is being triggered by your hand movements. Have you tried turning off the touch pad while typing as a test to see if you still have the problem. Also just to test try using an external mouse with the touch pad turned off. These tests will determine if that is the problem or if something else is causing it. Must do those to eliminate possibilities. Have you tried turning off the power saver features and turning off hibernate to see if that has any effect on the freezing up? if not do try that. Also on 7 down at the bottom in the tray you should see a small flag it may be hidden in the hidden icons, click that it tell you if there are any known problems on your unit and will offer to try to fix them.
