Below is a summary of the problems I have faced when Turnpike is
hanging up the phone and the  answers given to me by Turnpike support.
As can be seen from below Turnpike suggests asking fellow users on the
newsgroups for advice, so here I am. I would be grateful if anyone
could offer any specific soliutions to my problem. My pc is a Toshiba
T1910CS Satellite Notebook.

Due to the way I use the internet I would appreciate if people could
e-mail me direct with any answers.

TIA for any help

we've had problems with Toshiba notebooks before. There was a newer
video driver on the Tosh web site I think... also the person thought
the
battery monitor stuff might have been interfering. Too long ago to
remember what the resolution was :(  could suggest asking on the
newsgroups for other Tosh users ?
