Toshiba Satellite
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite and it came with all these programs from Toshiba installed already. I was wondering if these are essential for the laptop to run, because if not I'll uninstall them seeing as how they start automatically and take a lot of ram.

Re: Toshiba Satellite
Mine's a Dell, and that's what I did. The only essenrial programs are those that install from the XP re-install disk, the others are optional. If you want to watch DVD's, you'll want whatever software is included to make that happen, etc. It depends on what is essential to you.

Re: Toshiba Satellite
Hi,
Most are non-essential, but those that are actually Toshiba configuration apps are generally best left alone. If you post the programs you want to remove, we can tell you if they are safe to remove.

Re: Toshiba Satellite
Those look all essential, I would keep them but disable them from startup. You can use this utility:

There are not necessary: Toshiba configfree Toshiba controls Toshiba game console Toshiba registration Toshiba software upgrades Toshiba speech system applications Toshiba speech system sr engine(U.S.) version 1.0 Toshiba speech system tts engine(u.s.) version 1.0 Toshiba zooming utility touch and launch
