    It's just a matter of whether you need or want the functionality they provide. If you don't know what they do... the HP forum would be a better place to ask... although it's probably been covered there before so you can try searching.

    I would install the following:

    [*]Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system
    [*]Hewlett-Packard Active Check for Health Check
    [*]Hewlett-Packard Asset Agent for Health Check
    [*]HP Active Support Library
    [*]Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable

    You may need to install all of the HP apps if a software conflict arises.

    I would first just disable all startup processes (and possible services) related to the mentioned apps.

    cheers ...
