You will probably need to go online and download the drivers for your sound card and other peripherals since the ones on your laptop are set for Vista. You should be able to get them from toshiba which will sometimes link you to windows downloads. Information should be in your manual from Toshiba, or online.

Good Luck

If the site asked you for the make and model of your laptop, then that is what they would send you. Just download the drivers for XP without stating the make or model. You could try putting in an earlier model and see if it denotes for XP or Vista and just choose the XP format. Just make sure the drivers are for the correct hardware configs. IE:soundboard or lan specs.
