Hi Ricardo,

I’m glad you were able to install QuickPlay Direct. Thanks for sharing the experience!

I just wanted to thank you for making this forum posible, Asif. I recently purchased a COMPAQ HP DV6000 series laptop with an AMD Turion X2 processor with Windows Vista Ultimate. The laptop didn’t have HP Quickplay Direct installed. I knew of that feature but was surprised that HP didn’t install it on the laptop. I think it was because I bought it refurbished from a third party vendor.

I am happy to report that I have Quickplay Direct working fine on my laptop. The key is making sure the last partition is exactly 1,028 MB (1.00 GB) in size, assign it the drive letter X: and not format it. Also, make sure that before running the Quickplay Direct install, that you right-click the SETUP.EXE file and select “Run as administrator” in Windows Vista.

Hi, there!

I have dv6635en (EUROPEN version) with preinstalled Vista. My system administrator made downgrade to XP. After that starting QuickPlay 2.3 (pushing button) QuicPlay starts booting into XP. Tell me how to resolve this problem. As I understood from above topics I need QuickPlay Direct? I saw link, but key doesn’t work. Could you send me a working key?
TNX.

I downloaded an update to QuickPlay, but when I try to install it the program says it can only be installed on a Hewlett Packard system. I am trying to do this on an HP Pavilion dv6000. My original problem is that the QuickPlay bar above my keyboard is not responding. The only button that works is the mute button and even that doesn’t change colors the way it is supposed to when the volume is muted. Any suggestions on how to fix either of these problems would be great, thanks.

Asif,

The Quickplay on my DV6087ea doeasn’t work anymore after i reformatted my hard disk and created 4 partitions and installed VISTA Ulitmate 32 bit (Originally in comes with win XP). Does Quickplay needs its own patition? What’s the size? Originally, my laptop comes with C: and D:HP_RECOVERY partitions only. I installed it back to win XP but I cannot make it work anymore. (Still I have 4 partitions including the D:HP_RECOVERY partition) PLs. Help. Tnx.

Crosby,

Once again, my apologies for taking days to reply. My issues have moved from one to a higher court and central prison, so i’m really finding it hard to give time to this and other sites.

In any case, when and if you’re trying to re-install QPD, on the dv6000 people have had problems with installation if they have more than one partition. Second, if you are looking to edit the boot.ini on the QP partition, you can edit it by using the rmdl.exe application in the c:\swsetup\hpqpdp folder. If you changing boot.ini doesn’t do the trick, then you need to revert to a main partition and a QP partition only, and then run setup.

Now, for hal.dll, try http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_haldll_missing.htm or http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/missinghaldll.htm. You can also search for hal.dll on google, and the first result is a download replacement for hal.dll, here’s that link: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?hal. Now, some of the comments here are helpful, and basically, if the first 2 links i gave here don’t work, replacing it may solve the problem, although if u have tried to reinstall QPD, I suggest you do the reinstall properly and then proceed with this hardware abstraction layer stuff if u still have problems.

Asif,

BTW - I did a search on your site for hal.dll and it did not come back with anything.
