Although I am not a techie, I must respectfully question Steve’s comment above. “Recovery Service for Windows” only works by executing the BLservice.exe file. This can be seen in the registry (see drumtrucker’s post on page 2 of this thread). So if you rename the file, you have killed the service in any event. That’s why it is better to disable the service, so that the registry command does have the computer searching for a file that you have renamed and therefore cannot find (and probably slowing the startup of the computer).

No one I talked to at HP or Microsoft tech support can say what this service is supposed to do, although I feel fairly certain that it does not disable the Windows system restore capability (as that is a Microsoft Windows capability which exists on thousands of computers, including my other HP Pavilion computer, that do not have “Recovery Service for Windows”). The best way to get rid of this error, unless HP by some miracle gets around to issuing a patch, is as follows:
-Click start.
-Where is says “start search” type “msconfig” and hit enter and continue.
-Do not panic if the screen goes dark for a bit.
-In the system configuration window, click the Services tab.
-Find Recovery Services for Windows and remove the check mark.
-Click OK and restart.
We did this a month ago, and everything has been OK since then.
