my system is exactly the same. But it came with loads of toshiba extras. Usually these are quite cool but I had to get rid of config free, security assist power manager and standard assist because they did not like my reader and crashed things loads. There are still a few toshiba things on but most are not. On the last laptop I could access power but it locked but it was the only thing I chucked. the rest I stopped from loading but well thats the end of it.
