Wow, scary start as ....

I just had a Toshiba delivered that I bought on line delivered by Post Office. I set it up carefully according to instructions.

It showed me the desktop once with icons about the trial versions etc -- Now it shows me log-in, I enter my password, but then all I get is "Preparing your system. This might take a few minutes. The system may restart automatically. Please wait ...."

But it stays like that ....!


OS is Premium Vista Premium on a Toshiba 300

Is hard drive kaput already or defective OS?

Thanks! Not a good start for my first laptop experience


Seems fine after hanging on that stupid message over and over and I was going to call 1-800-Gimme-Valium!
