Sam, just run HP Update and install the driver that shows up. Keep in mind that when you install the driver from HP Update, Windows Update will tell you it's out of date. I'm using 4.8.0.0 from 11/2006. The newer one from Windows...
Yeah I have the same card on my dv2120. I had a problem when i used the Windows Update Driver. Things work one when I use the HP Update driver. But that's with vista. I haven't tried QP on XP.
sam, what driver are u using? The one on the hp website, the windows update, or HP update driver? Vista or XP? I have a dv2120us running vista, and I got the same problem, which is now solved.
spike,
I think your first problem about going to WMP is a Quicklaunch button driver, assuming that u mean pressing the QP QLB when you say 'hit quikcplay.' The other issue needs research, at least from me it does.
