Toshiba's can be real dogs, not enough RAM, too many running Processes and too much Bloatware.

How much RAM is in the machine?
How many running Processes are active on the machine (Ctrl, Alt, Del, Task Manager, bottom left corner)?

Do you run AOL, Norton or McAfee Internet Security?

Try booting machine in Safe Mode (F8 during boot up) and see if the CD/DVD works better.
