A bunch of questions for you that might help us help you better if you see what I mean :-)
What disks did you get with it?
What kind of stuff do you want to use if for?
How much memory does it have? (This is shown -as bytes- in the screen bar at the top of the screen. There are two types, graphics and fast)
What capacity is the hard-disk?
- EDIT-
Is it hooked up to a TV or to a Monitor?
