When I try to run my application recovery disk it says a file called cloaker exe.is missing and is needed to open this disk.

HP is the worst. When your one year runs out, so does your support. Besides they burn a program called cloaker.exe into the ROM bios, if you say replace the MB in your system, your recovery disks aren't worth anything except for being good coasters. Then their tech support Web site is also wrong time after time. When I responded to them being wrong, they bombarded my e-mail with hundreds of e-mails. For instance, telling a customer that their ASUS MB in their HP machine won't support a Pentium III chip, that they will need to upgrade from HP, is horsepucky; I've had a PIII in mine for over a year. The things some companies will go to for the almighty DOLLAR. Watch TECHTV, you'll get the straight scoop. After watching the TV program for several months, I decided to build my own system. WOW, I got the best computer that I've ever seen in my life, all thanks to ZDTV. Keep up the GREAT work guys!

Sorry for the verbose post, i failed to read it fully before i pasted it.

Just a thought... there was a mouse program that loaded a prog called cloaker I believe. May be worth a try!
