All comments about hpsysdrv.exe: Tim C. It's an HP 3320 Driver An authorised Hewlett-Packard process. Not dangerous as far as I know. Scott This item keeps track of how many times the system has been recovered and the times of the first and last recoveries done on the system. Leaving unchecked will sometimes prevent the Keyboard Manager program from detecting that the computer is an HP. Since this program/driver was only made to run on HP, if it can't tell that it is an HP it will not run. If unchecked, it can prevent the running of the Application Recovery CDs, the use of the multimedia keys, and the HP Instant Support. Also seen that without it running, the Riptide Sound card that was installed on some older HP computers stop. davn8r HP system file installed on HP systems KA HP driver also used in Compaqs e.g. 3200 doug I have a compaq computer, and i think it's a legitimate program Dell Rules HP bought compaq, they used to make good computers until HP decided to load "extra" stuff on them like this hpsysdrv john monitors and keeps track of the HP Recovery system. It is not system critical , unless there is a problem it would not advised to disabled , otherwise Re Format and then Recover your Pc the nxt time [ make sure u have a boot disc handy] kittyanya It's appearing on my Compaq Presario commonly and just sits there and does nothing. Looks completely safe to me. Rich/PC2YOU HP is COMPAQ...COMPAQ is HP now. It is a legitimate program. Yo Momma Standard App on HP Pavilion systems i have a compaq as well, and its not killing my comp yet HP 3300+ as well Headshot HP/COMPAQ file....no reason to mess with it unless needed...only end if you know what you are doing. I agree but I don;t know abou tDell Rules though. This is my Forst HP and Like most It;s loaded with absolute Junk, borderline spyware. I like it though. HP supports the AMD and I can take all that junk out. j see comment "SCOTT" cyberque hpsysdrv.exe is a utility from HP which monitors how many recoveries have been made in Microsoft Office suite. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference. shawn I'm fairly sure it's there to prevent people from messing with the restore partition (locks it up so that it can't be altered). Keeps newbies from fragging their only way of restoring the system to factory specs. Hot Jackpot It does nothing except track recovery dates as far as I can tell Anne It was bringing up HP Pavilion System Information screen everytime I typed an "s", so I got rid of file, then nothing at all appeared when I typed an "s" until I disabled hpsysdrv in msconfig.
