On the whole, the computer works well and was exactly what I was looking for - an inexpensive Windows-based computer to do simple household things with.  (no gaming, etc.)  However, the CD / DVD-RW drive would not read DVDs.  I tried various tech forums to figure it out, but finally came to the realization that the laser that reads the DVDs was out.  I bought a new drive on Amazon for $25 and easily installed it.  The new drive works fine.I opted for replacing the drive myself instead of returning the computer.  It was a quicker option and prevented me from having to delete all of my personal data from the computer.
