This is a part of the Toshiba TEMPRO software and seems to be the culprit. Once untick the "Please Wait" screen should only appear momentarily, if at all
Hi

I came across this thread when viewing my disappearing printer thread. I read with interest as my wifes laptop is a Tosh L350 and takes 2 mins 40 secs to boot up to the login screen.

I switched off the notebook tuning service as suggested but this has made no difference whatsoever.

I also tried stockyvilllages suggestion and yes boot was set to 1 processor - I changed it to 2 and this has improved boot up time to 2 mins 20 secs.

This is IMHO still far too long and about twice that of my sons Acer Vista laptop.

Any further suggestions?
