The only pro to this computer is it was under $600! Everything is falling apart internally and externally. I am not much of a computer techie, so I can understand some of the internal problems, though I do have trend micro as an antiviral program. With in weeks of purchasing my computer is began to slow down. I am constantly trying to uninstall programs, clean cookies, and delete unused files. Nightly my computer defrags itself and runs a virus scan. More times that not the screen pops up saying I have a bad internet connection, or the page can't be displayed. It takes me approximately 3 tries to get to each site, then after closing the browser and reopening it it actually works. I have Vista, so I am unable to install and uninstall  some programs. I can't even install one of the 3 printers I have in my house so I am unable to print. Externally the keys on my keyboard are falling off, after a few uses the paint is rubbing off the button below the mouse pad and where the heals of my hands sit, and the screen has a terrible glare. In short I would never buy a Compaq again. My last computer, a Toshiba, cost only $400, and worked like a charm for many years.
