A blog of Factual Opinions

i’ve read your posts and a couple of forums too. i have quite sorted out all the procedures of the installation of QPD 2.3 on my HP pavilion dv2500t running Vista Ultimate. only one thing that is bothering is the SATA issues that other people encountered. can you clarify this to me and affirm that your procedure of installation will work in my current setup? I also have the latest BIOS and SATA driver (read it somewhere that i have to install the latest one). also, my BIOS does not have the disable/enable option of SATA native support as others have suggested to adjust for QPD and Vista to work. any suggestions and work around to this matter with the assurance that it would work will be greatly appreciated.

I have installed quickplay 2.3 for windows and quickplay direct 2.3 in a different partition. everything was ok and when i restarted the windows i got boot error. i was using windows xp. i am not able to resolve the problem, can u pls comment how to install quickplay direct on windows XP Pro.
Thankyou.

Arizoink, my apologies. I somehow missed your post. I will respond to it within the next 24 hours.

Cheriyan,

Which notebook do you have? Which bios update do you have? The process for installation is the same on both xp and vista, but you must have the correct bios patch installed for it to work, otherwise you will have to tinker with your autoexec.bat to change the boot up settings.

i just installed quickplay 2.3 on my dv9303tx. it came with vista ultimate but i downgraded to xp pro and am now trying to get my tv tuner (EC300 DVB-T) that came bundled with my laptop to work without success. the quickplay 2.3 doesnt show the option to view tv… apparently quickplay is the only thing i can use with my tv tuner… so do u have any ideas on what i can to to view tv from the tuner on my xp install???

thanks.

Try the QuickPlay TV download available here.

Arizoink,

Unfortunately, my experience with SATA issues is only second hand, and I’ve looked through some of the past questions and installations I’ve talked about and done with and for people.

Ultimately, trying is the only way to find out. You see, as long as SATA support is built into the motherboard (which ofcourse it is) AND the QPD installation has all the appropriate drivers built into it (this is the important part), theoretically, you should NOT have a problem. Given that your bios is upto date, I don’t see that there would be any problems, but then new issues come up every day.

Here’s a list of drivers included in the QPD download:

I am having trouble installing QPD on my dv66800ea. I have already installed minimal XP and only drivers to avoid conflict. I have partitioned correctly (1028M – X drive)etc. – now the first part installation starts O.K. but when it is time to reboot to install the second stage I get BSOD. I have studied extensively the forums and I have been able to get back into XP by tweaking the boot.ini in the XP c: partition but I have been unable to get stage 2 to complete installing (the drivers etc) even by tweaking the boot.ini in the XP embedded partition. It may be a SATA problem – I get the Windows logo before BSOD. Is it possible to tweak the installation and put in the correct driver in the list as above as I don’t need conexant/nvidia chipset/ATI mobility since mine is Realtek/intel chipset/NVidia GeForce? Your help is much appreciated.

David,

the BSD is indicative of your hardware being incompatible with the drivers available for QPD. I wouldn’t bank on SATA being the problem seeing as you actually do get the windows logo.

I’m a little busy this week, but rest assured, I will take out some time to tweak the list of drivers. If you would be kind enough to place a link from HPs website or somewhere so that I can download it and try to make it part of the package, I’d much appreciate it.

I’ll send you an email and post something as soon as I reach some kind of conclusion.

Hello Asif,

I am Cheriyan, using HP Pavillion dv6087ea, AMD laptop. My BIOS update is, Hewlett-Packard F.3D, 11/22/2007. What i have to do to make the Bios Setting same to get Quickplay 2.3 direct work on my laptop.
ThankYou

Hey Cheriyan.

You need to visit the page on hp.com for your laptop. If there is a separate flash for Windows XP, you need the one for windows XP to make Quickplay irect 2.3 work, since QPD 2.3 runs on a standalone installation of Windows XP.

Hi Asif,

Thanks for the reply. I think on second thoughts you may be right about it not being a SATA issue. I will compile a set of drivers (including the SATA ones just in case) since I had to get them from across several HP models and upload them to Rapid Share. Once I have done that I will give you the links. I’m also busy, so please give me a few days. I’ll get back to you.
I suspect Cheriyan is having the same problems and it may not be as simple as a Bios flash. I didn’t do anything to my Bios when I changed to XP from the factory installed Vista and still managed to install XP and QP successfully.

The problem is, in all likeliness, driver incompatibility. The compilation that is available for download is pretty old, so I guess it’s about time that it gets an update.
No worries about the time. We’ve all got to do this and other things in our spare time, so I completely understand.
Cheriyan hasn’t really explained what he/she means by not being able to boot. Some people get boot errors due to multiple partitions, too. Others see the BSD due to driver incompatibility.

hello asif, brother i have just reinstalled windows xp in my laptop dv2000 and i have not a clue about what i am supposed to do. if there is a step by step guide on what needs to be done, id much appreciate it. as i have no clue of what sata or bsod or bios ir any of that means.

i thought that id point out that when i do press the quickplay button, windows media player opens up.

thanks

I hope this is enough to enable QPD 2.3 to install. To re-cap my laptop model is dv6680ea with Win XP Pro installed. Thanks once angain.

Hi David,

I’ll play around with this on the weekend.

Thanks for all your effort!

Asif.

Asif,

Is it ever possibe to have QP v3.7 boot without vista booting?. I am using a dv6000 which I formated every thing and installed a retailed vista

No Donsnok. Quick Play 2.3 Direct was the only version that would boot without booting into your main OS installation. All Quickplay 3.0+ versions are QuickPlay for Windows only and run like any other application on your OS.

Hi Asif,
In order to help with the tweaking of QPD, can you let me know how to access the cab files so I can try and incorporate the drivers which I uploaded. I tried accessing the cab files using WinRAR but it doesn’t recognise the file. We can help each other to lighten your workload and get QPD to install on more up to date laptops.

Hi David,

Once again, I apologize for not being able to do this over the weekend. I have a deliverable due for a software development project on Thursday, and I absolutely must get that done first.

To access the CAB files, and add to them, you’ll need a program like Ultimate Zip. http://www.ultimatezip.com/download.htm.

Note that there are two kinds of CAB files, an installshield cab archive and a microsoft CAB archive. I belive this is an installshield compression, so it doesn’t contain the HTM file that accompanies a microsoft file and can be used to uncompress the archive.

Truth is, my knowledge of CAB files is restricted, but I think utlimatezip will put you on the right track. If I can complete my deliverable tomorrow, I will look at extracting making the addition tomorrow.

Hi Asif,

OK I confirm that its an installshield cab and was able to see ALL the files using Zipscan v2.2c. Ultimate Zip can’t read the cab files. Now for the difficult part – incorporating or amending the drivers. I don’t think Zipscan can do anything apart from read what’s inside the cab file. I’ll have to search for another program to do the extract and re-pack.

Okay David, here is the bad news. The only way, apparently, to add to or edit a .CAB compliation / package created with Installshield is to do so with Installshield Professional or better. And here is the killer, installshield costs north of GBP 1800.

So, we either need a whole lot of donations from people or someone needs to lend us their license.

Now for the good news – try this which I uploaded-
http://rapidshare.com/files/116009535/i5comp21.rar

Okay I can’t get past the bloody cat on rapidshare. Who the hell’s bright idea was that. Couldn’t they just put simple images for their numbers/digits?

Send me your e-mail address and I will provide as an attachment. The file is quite small – less than 100K bytes. You can only use it in DOS. I also want to talk to you on a private matter.

Hi Asif,
i’m trying to install QPW 3.6, which appearantly is only an upgrade.
So i downloaded 3.0, when i try to install it, it gives me the message “This software can only be installed in authorized machine’.
I’m trying to install it on a TX2000 with vista ultimate 64bit.
Any ideas?

I am having the same problem as Gotanius above.

Have a look at the comments on this post rockbit: http://www.asifism.com/hp-quickplay-windows-vista/latest-hp-qucikplay-download-keys/#comments

Asif, have you tried the Quickplay Direct in a VM?

I have a HP Pavilion 1331 special edition. After many trys, I install QPV.1x, the other ones failed.

Thanks to you

Hi Asif.
I have a Pavilion dv6500 (dv6605ed) and downgraded it
to Windows XP SP2.
All drivers are installed and functioning.
The problem is that I have no audio output and
the “Audio-Mute” button in the Quickplay panel is red,
not blue as the others. If I press it I can see windows
setting audio to mute or not-mute but I still have no sound
when is not-mute and the button still being red.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

This is during QP Direct?

I don’t have QuickPlay installed yet.
Do I have to install QuickPlay for Windows
to allow that button to enable?
I have no sound at all.
I was trying to download the Quickplay 2.3 version but it’s
stopping at 36.9 MB and it can’t finish.
Thanks in advance.

No, you don’t for the button to work. Do you have the right Quick Launch Button drivers installed? DO you have the right driver installed for the sound card? Those would be the only reasons, unless it’s defective.

You’re trying to download QuickPlay 2.3 for Windows? Try again. It’s just that shared web hosting is not the best environment for downloading big files, so there are problems.

I have the DV6807US and it came with VISTA. I have created a dual boot machine with XP MCE 2005, and I am trying to get the QP Keys to work. I found your site where I could the needed files, but none of the access keys are working….they tell me that the key is no longer valid. How do I get a valid key so that I get the XP version of QuickPlay to install on my machine?

Thank You in advance for your great site.

I installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 on my newly purchased HP Pavilion Dv5t-1000 laptop.

Quickplay is not working. When I try to install it, error message comes as “This software can only be installed on authorized machine”.

Please help!!

I have an older HP laptop, from 2004. zd7000 w/ pentium 4 and 128mb dedicated graphics card. My question is do I need to have a newer HP model, with the quickplay buttons, to install QuickPlay Direct, or will it work anyway. Thanks.

i need software HP QuickPlay for Window Vista to install for my Laptop. Please help to show me where i can download it.

Hey all…just wondering how long do we wait after the installation reboot for something to happen..with direct version on seperate partition..
after i installed and rebooted.it is black screen with flashing curser like its waiting for text input??
thanks.

You want to give us some more information on your laptop model, etc.?

hi, I have a dual boot system (vista ultimate 64 bit and XP SP2 32bit) Is it possible to add Quickplay Direct capability to this machine???? It has 4 different partitions already (vista, xp, data, downloads)
thx!

I wouldn’t risk it with that many partitions and a dual boot.

First thanks a lot for making QP available for download.
I have followed your instructions, QP installs properly, reboots and complete the install. But when I try launching QP I only get to the first screen showing the QP logo and the work “loading” and right after my computer reboots into the regular Windows XP pro partition. I have a HP DV1000, Xp Pro, any idea as to what might be causing the problem ?
Thanks

I When I got it quickplay worked fine. Now when i push the quickplay button it launches DVD play same as the DVD button. I can find DVD play in programs but not Quickplay. I have installed and uninstalled and reinstalled quickplay sevreal times in just as many ways. Any ideas?

Krongsak,
Same question.

i have installed qpd 2.3 but after installation it tells me to reboot and then nothing happens. only a little blinking underscore. any idea what could cause that problem or do i have to wait some more to finish the installation ?
