I uninstalled everything HP except for the HP smart drive program and HP power Plan. There are other things that HP installed but you will not see them in the program list to uninstall. I recommend that you not go digging for them.

I just got to know how you where able to install a new motherboard and get the system to boot without Windows shutting down. I have done that with a motherboard that did not come from the manufacture and Windows did not like that at all.

I used an example in your other post. What if you wanted that feature?

And it appear you didn't take the other advice about the CNET Computer Help forum. This forum is not as active.
