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.
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 an
getting all that garbage out permenatly

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