Comments on: Newsweek’s Memo to Obama http://www.asifism.com/news-about-this-site-and-me/newsweeks-memo-to-obama/ HP QuickPlay, Accounting & Finance and Small Business Consulting Sat, 22 Nov 2008 10:20:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Giff http://www.asifism.com/news-about-this-site-and-me/newsweeks-memo-to-obama/#comment-4262 Giff Sun, 10 Aug 2008 16:49:59 +0000 http://www.asifism.com/?p=173#comment-4262 Asif, I am new to this RSS/Blog, etc. thing, but not new to PC's or the internet. I am no expert either--but I saw your extensive discussions re: HP Quickplay and I wonder if you can help me. I have a year old Pavilion 6433cl and it is working fine...except for one function. The small express card remote control that came inserted inside the notebook, no longer controls the notebook. I have tested the battery and tried an identical replacement remote control...with a new battery--without success. I have updated the notebook with the BIOS and every other update from the model specific HP website and I have recently installed Vista Service Pack 1 and upgraded my Norton protection--but no unusual tweaks. I think I updated the Quickplay--through its own update function and I have run CCleaner (a free cleaning utility that comes highly recommended by CNet and has never given me problems on my desktop. The HP technition just wants to send me a third remote control or ship my notebook in for repairs (and probably erase it back to factory conditions--no thanks!). They said that there is no IR driver in the Device Manager--that Quickplay or the Windows OS will recognize the remote control and connect to it. Of course I have rebooted and made sure I was pointing the remote at the laptop IR port, etc. I am using a MS wireless mouse--but the remote control was working fine after the mouse installation and I think, after Service Pack 1 and Norton 360 were installed. That is part of the problem, I don't know when, exactly, that the remote control stopped working. I have seen other people complaining about this problem on the web, but have not seen any solutions--do you know of a IR or HP remote control HID driver that I can download. I noticed that another Pavilion 6400 series notebook on display at Costco had a HP Remote Control HID in the Device Manager, and I do not have that in mine, but I can't find it on the HP website. Sorry, too many questions. I just want the included remote control to work on my notebook! Please help if you can. Asif, I am new to this RSS/Blog, etc. thing, but not new to PC’s or the internet.
