Answers:
Depending on how old the freestyle is will determine how long it actually provides power. At full charge, it will show maximum available power. But it drains more like greased lightning the older it is. So that 2 hour battery-operated life can be misleading. If it loses 60%+ of its charge every 10 minutes or so, after the first 10 minutes it's down to roughly speaking 48 minutes left; after 20 minutes use it have about 20 min disappeared; and at 30 minutes use it has give or take a few 7 minutes or less disappeared.

If it's a relatively new freestyle (within a couple of years old) I'd contact Toshiba customer service. They might have information more or less other people reporting one and the same problems and have a withdraw or exchange program in effect.

The with the sole purpose other thing I can dream up of is you might have some shabby system files that control how the operating system (probably XP?) interfaces with the mobile through the control panel's Power Options. If you have your inventive install CD you could try running a System File Check. Click start > run > type surrounded by "sfc /scannow" > OK (no quotes and notice the space between sfc and /scannow.) If any shabby or missing system files are located, you'll be prompted to insert the install disk. Files will then be repaired or replaced as needed. The scan could filch over an hour depending on what it finds.
