The vista VS. QP 2.0, internal battle
hey fellow HP owners
I just bought my DV5137ea a week ago. (specs) it did work fone with no problems what so ever. the I felt like installing the Vista beta 2.0 I got of MS when they went puplic a while ago. its working really fine.. so the laptop is truely Vista capable and nearly vista premium ready :P heres some pics   well. to the problems.. first of I had no audio support but I fixed that ez with the drivers from the HP hp (Homepage  ). now I found out that the build in mediacenter (its the Ultimate version of Vista) is having some strange decoder errors.. when I try to start playing a video. (the example ones thats included) then it wont start.. its just saying "Decoder error" on the lower left corner.(watch pic 2 above)anyone else having the same problem? maybe someone has fixed it? the visualisor for the music is also freezing. but thats a minor issue since I dont intent to use that anyways. 2nd problem after installing vista the booting prosess has changed, so now my quickplay fetures has stoped working.. its just booting up the the normal multiboot screan where I can choose either microsoft windows (vista) or "earlyer versions". I choose ealyer versions for the hope of finding anything that has to do with the quickplay still being on the 1gig partision. but no... its just loading into a black screen with a flashing underscore. I gues thats because the boot.ini on C:/ is emty. can anyone help me to find out what to put in the boot.ini ti be able to bootinto QP 2.0 or something? ohh and yes I did  and thats what brought me here..  Best regards D_Zarster  Last edited by D_Zarster; 09-03-2006 at 12:56 PM. |

This is kinda normal for a new OS, and is the reason they get volunteers to try it out in advance of a real release. You will probably find more help on one of the Vista support sites (MSFN maybe), since I'd guess that not many around here have installed it yet. Between HP and MS, there may or may not be compatible drivers released yet, and the only way to find it is to start searching.
As for Quickplay, my guess is that the Vista install has altered the Master Boot Record (MBR) and that is what QP2.x uses to control it's launch. Given the massive changes with Vista, it may become a question of them being compatible. IF you willing to risk it, just try reinstalling QP from within vista and it should write a new MBR. Be warned that it might break Vista though.

See that little Search item near the top of the page? Well, there is a "Quickplay ...." thread around here with links in it.
Best I can do for you.

And I have helped a lot of people, I've uploaded a copy of QPv1 twice, the first time was a P2P connection from Mexico to Turkey and the second time I uploaded it to one of those file hosting servers. Days after I upoloaded it, someone PM me asking me to upload it again, but I searched for my previous upload link on that QPv2 thread that, as a matter of fact, I STARTED, and gave him the link. I was going to help you and give you the link for QPv2, but then I read AmigaDude's post and I thought it was really funny. Sorry I made you angry.

Most of the free sites require you to wait for 45 seconds while ads display... have a pop-up or two.. Regardless, all posts about QuickPlay should go in the QuickPlay thread.. http://www.notebookforums.com/thread141817.html |
