    Portege R200 - XP not recognising hardware

    Thanks for the response heymrdj. Your link to the BIOS worked but the re-flashed BIOS didn't cure the problem. I also downloaded all of relavant drivers from the Toshiba Support site but these also didn't help. I am resigned to it being a hardware problem...:(

    Malware Port Forwarding?

    I recently noticed on the UPnP page of my Orange Livebox that I have aquired two new entries. They are marked as "SkypeTCPat..." and "SkypeUDPPat...". I don't use Skype or have willingly installed Instant Messaging. How do I get rid of it? Thanks.

    Problem with Windows Update on Vista 64

    Thanks for your response soonerproud. Is this because Microsoft have been using elements of the new Windows 7 in Vista updates or just a similar problem? Cheers.

    From Win98 to where?

    My wife has a fairly old Toshiba Portege 7100 laptop which is running Win98. Support is becoming a pain with antivirus products etc. becoming incompatible. Is there an upgrade path to another OS which isn't going to slow it to a standstill?
