I took the HP games off my new laptop, don't want them at all.
Ughh yes some brands really add a lot of bloat onto their machines...

Might be best to NOT mess with a reinstall of xp & not needed if you can log on as sister.

So it's a HP, has anyone made any recovery disks?
there is a program and a place on the hard drive that has the recov info and the pgm will help you put it on a cd or USB, in case it is ever needed. A good thing to do.

HP website will have more info on how to do it.
