First and foremost do not double-post. It is against the rules of this forum. Secondly if you remembered sumthing l8r just edit your post and add that bit you forgot into the same post.

can you please clarify whether the paper gets stuck in the tray, or it gets stuck on the rollers. if its the rollers as you say then I suggest you take a damp cloth and clean them.
You can find general cleaning tips on HP's website (I am guessing you're having a HP printer)

hope they can be of help.

is it the Case Fan or the CPU Fan that makes the noise.... in either case looks like the fitter who assembled your system may have not put in the screws  correctly. Either you can do it manually yourself. a very good step by step thing can be found at http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/pc/hardware/fan/replace.php

hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for that helpful reply, Tejas. Now I know what's causing this.

I have another question 😊

I have been thinking about donating my old PC but I worry that someone may access my private information. I would like to know how can I erase my information so no one can get access to it? Edited by Prestigious - 16 years ago

You can always use Darik's Boot and Nuke. the best part is that it is a freeware as well as open source. so there is almost no chance of any foul play in the code.

Alternately if you want more options then we have a host of programs for the same. A google search for the same will be always yield results.

SysInternals SDelete

Eraser Secure Data Removal Tool



Hope it helped.

I can give you a few pointers on this.

First and foremost download Spybot Search & Destroy from here.

If you're using Spybot for the first time.... here's a very good tutorial.

Next up perform an Update in Spybot to make sure you've the latest updates.

  • Open Spybot-S&D
  • Click on 'Update' in the navigation bar
  • Search for available updates
  • Select all available relevant updates
  • Select a download location
  • Download the selected updates
  • If you receive a Bad Checksum!! error select another download server
Next Run an Online Virus Scanner

  • eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner Requires Internet Explorer. (If prompted on that page, allow Active X and the install of software - this is needed to scan your system)
    It may take a while to download the updates needed, and then you will be presented with a screen to scan your system.
Reboot your computer into SafeMode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, begin tapping F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
Open Spybot-S&D while still in safe mode.
  1. Close all browsers, check for problems and fix everything found in red
  2. Repeat until no more items are found in red
a) Close Spybot-S&D
b) Reboot back into Windows and repeat the entire process once more.


Then post back if you have more problems.
