I bought an HP Pavilion quad in july came with Vista.  Upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate and I don't think the monthly diagnostics has ever finished because it takes so long.  Stopped it today after 14 hours at 71% not thru with the memory tests yet.  HP was lost (literally).  I have it unscheduled now and rand the few tests that you can run manually with no problems.  HP also had me reboot and run F9 diagnostics which ran fine except I think the memory took longer than I would expected with a 64bit quad with 8 gig of memory. 
You seem to have to run the whole script from the beginning?  True?  Every test up to that point passed.  Is there a way of adding/editing a script to run the last half or a way to reinstall PC-Doctor OEM without reinstalling Windows?  Any suggestions are appreciated.

genesal,

Please go to the HP site and download the version designed wor Win 7.  Upgrading from vist without using the version designed for Win 7 will cause the issues you are seeing.
