ddinc, I did manage to eliminate by fetching a
driver from Toshiba site but now must refetch since in the meantime I wiped the drive clean and did a fresh win 7 install.
Immediately after the Windows 7 install, I checked the event viewer and sure 'nuf, the error entries were there again.
Haven't gotten around to once again downloading and installing the Toshiba
driver but will probably do that tomorrow.
OK, just noticed that I hadn't "allowed" sevenforums.com in NoScript and first msg had no newline entries
