Ok, just got a laptop that had vista, now has xp on it. No problems, except the webcam is too freaking dark. Main problem being that when I put it into standby, the monitor doenst come back on. The hard drive and everything else does, but the monitor doesnt come on? any ideas?

Oddly can't find a Webcam driver for XP for that model as per here:
Toshiba Support - Content List I think I'd go to the device manager and disable the webcam and report back

Webcam is built into the monitor bezel--
You down-graded from Vista to XP? Therein might lie the problem... it seems the drivers for the webcam and your video adapter don't exist for this model-- with XP as the OS. Not at Toshiba. The Chipset and Graphics on that model are Intel, however-- and I did find a driver listed for the Graphics portion-- from Intel. I want to be very clear-- I am not certain that this will work--and it will probably not help the webcam-- but if you can get the graphics functioning-- you could always add an aftermarket webcam, yes ...? If you want to try the driver-- it is here: Mobile IntelŪ 965 Express Chipset Family IntelŪ Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows* XP (exe)

Therefore if you want to keep XP-- you have to go looking for alternatives to make everything work correctly. The Video driver is a major part of any Windows OS-- if it's not correct, nothing works properly. XP is probably running a generic driver from it's own database currently-- on your machine... so this driver should work-- perhaps a bit better.
