Windos 7 toshiba help
 
Okay im really starting to get annoyed with this computer of mine. It's a windows 7 toshiba laptop. every time i start it up, after about oh say 7-10 minutes, a little window pops up saying " toshiba service station has stopped working" it asks me to close it out. First of all i have no idea what this is and second, its annoying me because it happens everytime my laptop starts up. we went to geek squad a while after i got it and when they started up my computor it never appeared. Would anyone happen to know what i can do to stop it from happening?

Try searching for that or something similar and load it up(not sure where the search feature is on Windows 7 though). If it has an option to disable notifications do it. Since you don't know what it is or if you need it I don't suggest just deleting it.

I did that with something called "Symantec Services Framework", word of advice, don't delete anything you don't know. It turns out Norton needs this and I unknowingly went without an antivirus for over a month. Got some virus called Trojan.Nebuler, I didn't know about it until I deleted Norton and reinstalled it with the part. Norton killed the virus and all is well.

Just don't do anything about it, except disable notifications for it.

It is supposed to tell you when there is a new updated driver from Toshiba.
You should be able to go to Control Panel > Programs and Features. And remove it.
Also you should be able to email/call Toshiba and get free support for it. If you have Windows 7 you should still be under warranty.
