[size=large]Whether or not I'm in the right forum , this is the most popular forum here !
My PC damn funny nowdays , but i dunno the exact problem !
Okay ......I used to sent topics with "red" fonts , but recently , I no longer be able to sent my messages in color fonts ! Why ha ? Hard Disk faulty ?
Secondly , does "going to give way" hard disk causes my printer to go malfunction too ?
Thirdly , does faulty HDD causes my PC to hang ?
Fourth , does this "going to go faulty" HDD causes the speed of the internet to slow down ?
Thanks ! I need to analysis the problem here before I can explain to the Repair centre of where the problem lies ! -
if your hard disk spoil, u cant even boot into windows due to corrupted boot sectors etc, so your 'internet and printer' should be the least of your worries.
for all ur problems, if u want an easy way out, just reformat ur HD and reinstall windows, cause it seems that u got some system file problems...
your system looks kinda f*cked-up according to your post.. good luck sia.. -
if u realli want serious help, u can start by posting your system specs here; no computer expert can diagnose your comp's problems juz by your 'description'.

unable to send red fonts?
Do you mean here?
maybe you forgot to close your tag??
[ color=r e d] Hello [/ c o l o r]
Yesh. If your harddisk is going to die, things will slow down.
When it dies, you can't boot. -

firstly, i do not think a faulty HDD can cause you to have problem posting [RED] color on forums. Your HTML tags might.
Secondly, a faulty HDD will definitely not cause your printer to malfunction unless you are talking about printing problems where the printer's driver or software on your HDD got currupted.
Yes, a HDD problem can definitely cause your PC to Hang, fail to start O.S, loss of data, slow down, s/w problems eg. I.E due to curruption.
If you are able to, why not do a reinstallation of your OS like what Groovee suggested.
If you still feel that you HDD has problems, you might even want to think about getting a new HDD. Installation is pretty straight forward IMO.
Better to try isolate your computer problems first before going to buy hardware or sending to computer shop.

[size=large]Okay ! Now I can sent font color , it's all my ignorant , i forgot to close it !
But......I more concern about my printer , i suspect my sick HDD is causing damage to my PC's LPT port , can that be ?
'Cos whenever i wanted to print something , my printer as if they don't recognise my command , they did print , but just a few numbers on the top right hand corner , WHICH IS NOT RELEVANT OF WHAT I INTEND TO PRINT !!
Furthermore , when i on my PC , I hear some sound inside , I never hear before , sounds like the roller went rusty , needs some lubricant type of sound ! Grrrrr...Grrrr....Grrrr.....
Aiya.......time for a change !! -
I also have a problem here. I have this digital camera software for quite a while. Was trying to use it yesterday but it said it had to shut down due to an error. I tried to uninstall the program through the control panel but it was still there. So i deleted the program through C Drive>Program files. The program had been deleted but the control panel still had the program name there. I installed the software again. The downloading process was done but there seemed to be no trace of the program.
Can anyone help? -

user problem

the answer is no ..... the HDD and the LPT port are separate. if your LPT port is malfunctioning, it's not caused by the HDD
'Cos whenever i wanted to print something , my printer as if they don't recognise my command , they did print , but just a few numbers on the top right hand corner , WHICH IS NOT RELEVANT OF WHAT I INTEND TO PRINT !!
two possibilities:
1. corrupt printer driver ==> reinstall the printer driver
2. you turned off your printer when the printer was in the middle of printing something. the next time you turn it on ..... rubbish will print out ==> delete any pending print jobs that are waiting in queue (Start Menu > Printers > 'printer_name') and then, turn off your printer to reset it (you may need to turn your printer off and on a few times)
Furthermore , when i on my PC , I hear some sound inside , I never hear before , sounds like the roller went rusty , needs some lubricant type of sound ! Grrrrr...Grrrr....Grrrr.....
the sounds could be coming from a fan, but it's more likely to be your HDD making those sounds. change your HDD ASAP, unless you wanna risk losing all of your data

firstly, NEVER delete a program through its folder. alwaes uninstall it using control panel>add/remove programs. if that doesnt work, search for the uninstall.exe in either the program folder or C:/windows. i suggest u reinstall the program den uninstall it properly and do a scandisk/chkdsk before reinstalling it again.Originally posted by eurofighter:I also have a problem here.

It seems that your harddrive is totally screwed up. why don't you save yourself the trouble by reformatting your harddrive? if it's still possible, try to back up your impt files on another drive b4 reformatting. don't bother trouble-shooting. there are a thousand and one ways your harddrive's os is screwed.Originally posted by Poolman:[size=large]Whether or not I'm in the right forum , this is the most popular forum here !
