Do a fresh install of Windows. This ensures that no Toshiba Crapware is stuck on your notebook.

Re: Background programs
You should be able to click start then go to run and type msconfig, you can uncheck all of the boxes because if Windows needs it, it will automatically recheck them. This will cut down on your startup time and should also cut down on the percentage of CPU being used.

Re: Background programs
Are any of those programs actually neccessary? (The Toshiba ones, not the ones associated with Windows).
Answer:
Re: Background programs
No, but the Toshiba ones (not their crapware), are pretty darn useful. The Toshiba Powermanagement for instance, is much more sophisitcated than the one provided by Microsoft, and their SRS sound enchancer is pretty good too.
Answer:
Re: Background programs
Yeah xAMDvsIntelx is right, just disable most of them. The only ones I still have running are the power management and the SRS sound enhancer, because they are the only two quality programs. All the others, are not needed.
