Ihave a Toshiba Tecra 8100 laptop. After I boot up, the cursor freezes up. Sometimes it might take ten minutes, but it alwats freezes. Is it an OS problem(XP Pro) or a hardware problem? I'm lost!

I suspect it is a software problem. The only way to be sure is to reload the laptop from it's Recovery Cds to original shipped state. If the behaviour continues with a fresh install, then it must be a hardware problem.

I'd suggest you visit our 'Viruses and Nasties' forum section to get assistance with checking that your machine is free of Viruses and other malware.
