From time to time, I get the following error message on my Toshiba laptop: TMOUSY.DLL file cannot start. Is there a way to troubleshoot this error?

I once owned a Toshiba laptop and received that error. I believe it is a mouse dynamic link library file. You can usually resolve this in one of two ways.

1) Find the file location on your hard drive, then locate that file on your recovery disc (if possible), then just copy it over, overwriting the corrupt version.

2) Run the recovery program disc.

Unfortunately, the second is more drastic but only to be used if other attempts do not resolve.

But without knowing which model of laptop or OS, it is a bit difficult to diagnose. Also, can you determine the first time this happened? Such as, after installing a particular program?

If you are running XP, try running the System Restore feature.

If not, try booting to Safe mode to see if it happens there. W9x provides step-by-step driver loading, perhaps disabling some startup items to see if there may be a conflict.

You may also try Toshiba's FAQ page.

Hope this helps, its the best I can do with limited info.
