As I said before, I'll post a link to download QPv1 this saturday, just wait two more days!

I guess I'll wait before the 21 day is up and then send it back.

Well, that settles that. I guess that means there may very well be no such thing as a QP2 CD. Without a proper install wizard file, we could spend hours/days/millenia trying to copy files to a clean windows install and still never hit paydirt.

Anyone know what the recovery CD's that they make you burn (4 lightscribe DVD's at a buck a piece) do yet as far as the partition scheme? Also, anyone figured out a way to recover individual app's from them?

and how'd baltimoredsmguy get such a "tiny" recovery partition?

XP pro/home recovery about 7.5gig
XP Media edition... about 12gig

[baltimoredsmguy]

Based on my Computer Management view:
HP_Recovery (D: ) FAT32 Healthy 7.5GB total 512MB Free
(C: ) NTFS Healthy (System) 84.55GB total 50.39GB Free
NTFS Healthy (Unknown Partition) 1.0GB total 403MB Free

When Direct play is running and i click the "i" button this displays:
Build Number 2.0 2412 -HP

p.s. sometimes it boots right into Direct Play, sometimes the "Resuming Windows" screen comes on first, although I think it has to do with how it is shut down ie: Hibernate or Shut Down.

I'm on the phone right now with HP. They said they can sell me a $45 restore disc which they say has qp2 on it. The reason he gave me for them not offering the d/l on their site is b/c it is close to 900mb (1gb about) and for them to host it would be "too hard." Apparently hp figures you will never loose/damage your restore discs. I will update when I confirm.

...God HP hold music blows...

Chuck11:If you decide to buy that copy of QPv2, please share it with us!

My laptop uses QPv1, but with the Bios update I installed it is supossed to support QPv2, what if it doesn't?

If anyone needs QP v1, the megaupload link above is still valid. Could at least get a working version in place while the 2.x issues get sussed out.

toxico - where did you download QP 2.3 from? I also downloaded the data2.cab file uploaded by amigadude, but i am still having problems. i think the other files i have may be corrupted as well. If there no active download link for 2.3 could someone upload them again? thanks guys!

The files at http://ridickulous.net/quickplay/ are still available. Grab those and unrar them, let it error on data2.cab and kep going. Then just take AmigaDude's data2.cab and drop it in the directory. Still no data3.cab though.

I have downloaded I think three different sets of files in an attempt to get a valid copy; however, none of the files I have downloaded to date contain a data3.cab. I asked once if this was normal but never got an answer.

Also, I have been attempting to get a .iso for a QP v2 CD but the damn seeder is rarely online.

I am unable to download from this link, Dear Toxico.
Are there any working link more? Would you please send it by email for me.

Ya sorry, I updated I guess I accidentaly forgot to hit save. Ok. So I bought the CD and the guy assured me that it contains QuickPlay v2.0. I will definitely figure this out and if I cannot get qp off the disc, I will ask help from other people. I will try my hardest to figure this out. The disc will come on the 4th but I won't have time until next weekend so you guys will just have to wait a little. This might be a breakthrough.

Cuchk11: If you send me a copy of that QPv2 disc you'll be one of my heroes!

I don't think it will have a copy protection, at least QPv1 CD doesn't, you could do what I did: Make a CD image with Nero or Alcohol and then you could share it , of course, if you want to do it (I really hope you do)

[chuck11]

The only problem I have is like what I said earlier. This file will probably be close to 1gb so if anyone has a server or something, that would be great. Some service like yousendit or megaupload will take friggen forever to upload and I don't have the time nor the pacience to do that. So if anyone has any ideas that would be great.

[Ericko]

What's your upload speed??? The only site that I know that will host a 1GB file for free is: http://up-file.com/index.php

I only have an upload speed of 128kbps, that's why I went to school to upload it, they have an upload speed of 1536kbps (1.5Mbps). It took me around 25 minutes to upload a 229MB file.

Anyway, I hope somebody else will have a better form to do it.
