After overcoming my reluctance to have to burn my own Recovery Discs I want back to Best Buy; but a different store and bought the same Compact Prsario CQ550Y with Windows 7 home Premium on it.
I also bought a USB Dial Up Modem.
I was unable to get the Dial Up Modem to function properly and ended up grabbing a PCI type Modem from my Drawer.
The short story is so far I have not been able to get the internet to function properly. I have updated done the updates from my ISP Peoplepc.com but after about 30 minutes it tends to lose the connection with the server.
Also I am not liking some of the features that were changed with Windows 7. It could be a learning curve issue.
Also while I was inside of the Computer installing the PCI type Modem I found 2 Brown or Black Slots I have never seen on a Motherboard before. They look like a PCI Slot but they are only about 2 inches long and they line up with the back of the computer in a manner that makes them look like some sort of card is supposed to go in there so something can be plugged into the back of the Computer.
While it did not come with a Floppy Drive it appears to have the Connector for one on the Mother Board.
If no one can identify the mystery slots on the Mother Board by the description I gave I may pull the cover when I have time and take a Pic of it.
The Instruction manual that came with the computer apparently covers several models and is not specific as to what slots are in my exact computer.
