I made a recovery DVD disk for my HP tx1000, by using the recovery disk manager. I lost those DVDs, when I tried to make two more recovery DVDs it won’t let me, it tells me that only one set is allowed. How can I solve this problem?

Thanks for this… HP health check has always been annoying, but in the past month or so it had added a new trick: BSOD production every damn time it tried to run. So very glad to have this crap turned off.

Did this myself without checking this site. But just had HPHC run on my machine now.

Bloody HP and their bloatware. What *is* causing this to run?!

Dear Folks,
I just received an HP health check offer. I was a little suspicious because it says my computer health is POOR – But everything seemed to be ok except they wanted to uninstall one botton and install a new program. Is there any history on this ?????
Thanks

It looks very offical but doesn’t seem to have everything connected and responding as a web page.

so i disabled hp health check through the process described above, but the thing STILL runs as scheduled. any way that i can absolutely get rid of this program?

@jet – If you remove it from Scheduled task it will be gone permanently, thanks for telling abt this one more place where this process hides itself πŸ™‚

I did all of this and it still pops up on my machine every couple of days. There is no scheduled task either. Now what?

horrible little prog kept freezing up my laptop.I thought I uninstalled it a week ago but today it reared its’ ugly little head again.I have windows vista.Hopefully I’ve just sorted the problem.Click ‘start’ ,scroll down to HP folder,click and then click on ‘hp health check’ then click ‘run as administrator’.Click on settings on simply disable the automatic scan (which is of course recommended).Fingers crossed this should do the job
