I bought the computer from a supposedly reputible computer outlet
(PC World) in England. You are supposed to make your own.
Oh well. You live and learn.

PC World? They just love Packard Bell, Compaq and eMachines because they buy these low quality machines in bulk and pay almost nothing, then inflate the prices to make a greedy profit.
With the amount of money they charge for one Maxtor 120GB drive, I can buy TWO brand new Western Digital 120GB drives online and have them delivered the next day before 12pm.
I would take the machine back and demand a refund.
Their business practices are notoriously shady, their salesmen are like cockroaches, their prices are absurd, and their machines are made from tacky low grade and old components ESPECIALLY the memory and monitors.
Fujitsu and Mesh provide higher spec, high quality machines for like 40-50% less than the price of PC World. If you pay £700 at PC World, you can get a better machine direct from Fujitsu or Mesh for £400 with all the same warranties/customer rights/etc, and I'm not kidding.
