    You go to the HPsupport site and you get the drivers for them.Once you install the driver for each of these you will have back your handy dandy stuff.

    im going to do the same thing, i have the dv6-3060tx.

    I was wondering if we should post how that goes, maybe make a guide, for new people who want to do the same thing for dealing with their bloatware issues.

    Furthermore i had some questions, i have an OEM license, it says :
    "Windows Home Premium OA SEA"

    What does the OA SEA stand for, because i was going to download home premium and reinstall it, but i still want to be able to use my license. Do i have to look for a specific version of the home premium ? or will any one do ?

    Thanks

    Should work, will have to activate through phone though. There's an utility preventing that available on this site somewhere too.

    I use the same Vista disk to restore lots of laptops with OEM licenses. It should activate fine.
