You have an apparent keyboard problem as noted by lack of APPROPRIATE
capital letter use and periods. Consider fixing this as well.

What exactly do you want to fix on the hard drive?

The sound problem is probably caused by the need to load the correct driver
for your sound card.

You really need to provide specific information when asking for help. I am
not sure what the troubleshooter problem is. Do you mean that the
troubleshooter in help is opening but not displaying anything in the right
pane of the screen?
