Windows 7 will break working items, not all, but some depending on which items/effects you use. One thing to do: go to the toshiba site, look for drivers for your computer. If nothing is found, google around for a compatible model from another country, for example the US model that's compatible with your's. Go to that country's site in the toshiba network and lookup drivers for that model. Last resourt, google for xp drivers compatible with such models... The hunt will take you hours if not days and digging through a lot of forims, but you should eventually find something. Don't bother calling toshiba, they'll say no drivers are available if they don't have any on their site, this is because they want you to stick with vista. Another thing to do is to go item by item in your device manager that requires drivers, such as audio, video, network, wi-fi, chipset etc. and download xp drivers directly from each component's manufacturer's site. These are garanteed steps, I use them any time I upgrade a computer from vista to xp, I've worked with many toshibas, dells and even hp's, always works... Note however that for some of these models functionality might be crippled in some way shape or form, usually in the area of the graphics adapter...
