We can't help if you don't tell us what the problem is

But, sorry to say, chances are upgrading is the only option - mine came with Toast 3.57 and it was a pain.
Get Toast 4 Deluxe, and all will be sweet. As it is, 3.57 requires an external driver to work with the 8424... not good.
I have the exact same setup - what SCSI card do you have?
Allocate more RAM to the Toast app, and also increase the RAM cache.
Your email isn't in your profile - mail me, I have some information regarding the 8424 and Toast you might like.
