    um, how long have you been having that drop?
    have you checked on display properties? make sure it's set to native resolution. You also would want to check display options in control panel. there's an option to enlarge icons (my sis thought my icons were too small and she checked the medium (125%) --> drops the dialog buttons a lot of time.
    hope that helps

    Here is the way to get rid of the process toaster.exe:

    Open control panel
    Double click on the ‘Administrative Tools’
    Double clikc on the ‘Services’
    Scroll down and find the ‘SoftThinks Agent Service’, change the startup type to ‘Disabled’, and then click ‘OK’.
    Restart your computer, problem solved ;).
