The graphics driver hasn't installed properly.
You may need to install the chipset driver first, it's listed as
Intel Chipset Utility, then install the graphics driver again:

Had you installed Windows from the supplied Toshiba recovery media, all the correct drivers would have been automatically installed in the correct order (chipset driver should always be installed first). Since you've not used the Toshiba recovery media, you're left to your own devices where drivers are concerned, so you need to know what you're doing.
Thank you for your fast response..
I believe I might have actually done it in that order, of the several times I reinstalled and tried. However stupid me, all I needed to do was download 1 optional (Intel HM55 Graphics Update) through 'windows update' to get it all working. I just hate having ANYTHING additional on computers, including windows and ANY of their crap updates. I've taken the risk of "under-installing" and "under-updating" for almost 10 years and it's typically served me pretty well. In this case I was just being a little too hasty and needed to slow down and think for a minute! First time I've had to use windows update, ever.
Nonetheless, cheers for the speedy response : )
