    HP Total Care Advisor Health Check CRASH!!

    Hello,
    I currently have a HP Pavillion Notebook installed with Windows Vista Home
    Premium, and everytime I try to do a PC Health Check with Total Care Advisor,
    I get the blue screen and my comp shuts down. I need some help. I already
    went to HP support, but they didn't fix it either. Help!!!

    What other feature of the system are you trying to fix? If the Total Health
    care app is the only thing not working, only HP could fix that.

    If HP support can't fix it - and let's be very clear about this: the PC
    Health Check is HP's utility, not part of Vista - then don't use it. I'm
    not being facetious; I just don't think those HP utilities are useful and I
    always suggest either uninstalling them or not using them. If everything
    else on your computer is working, I wouldn't sweat this one thing.

    It's pretty well known that HP Health Check doesn't work.

    PC Health Check is OK, but I say why bother? I would uninstall it. I
    haven't missed it; it had do go when I installed 64-bit on my HP laptop.

    It is a piece of crap provided under HP utilites ... If any issue occurs
    with this application then to only option to get it resolved is to get
    the computer back to factory settings.. better to remove this

    MOst all software that is installed by your average manufacture sucks.

    I make a great living reinstalling Vista from a retail media source and
    getting all that garbage out permenatly.

    Anyone who purchases a laptop or desktop system from Dell, Gateway or
    HewlettPackard needs to have their systems pruged or this garbage ASAFP.

    HP health check is a bad tool that can break your system installing old
    drivers and updates. Some days ago, Hp health check installed in my laptop
    an ethernet driver for microsoft vista system older than i had and then the
    following day windows update re installed the newer one which was what i
    had. Hp health check is a total disaster, the updated drivers use to be one
    year older or more, the same for essential system updates for microsoft
    vista, and the versions and dates of drivers and updates are confusing.
