It should install cleanly then, I guess..

First I have tried with one partition (only C: ), as I wrote in my first message and get no error message. With the registry editing (again thanks for AmigaDude) QPv2.1 and QPv2.0 can be installed to my system (But not working).

Does yours come with F.12 BIOS, or you upgraded it from F.03? The sad thing is there are many different hardware versions of DV4000 with at least 3 different motherboards that use the same BIOS version. All the DV4000 with QP2.0 pre-installed are shipped with F.12 (F.14 now). Can you check the motherboard version of your friend's DV4000 and yours? Mine is 309E version 52.0C (according to Notebook Hardware Control). I wonder if this would give us some hints on the QP2.0 compatibility in DV4000.
Bios numbers: Mine came with F03 and My friend's (who has no issue with QPv2) computer came with F12.
I don't have hardware control program. Is there any other way to find out Mainboard version?

I have two questions:

To billcsho, did you try to install QPv2 on your NoteBook? If so, What is the result? Any error message or successfully installed?

To both AmigaDude and billcsho: Does your computer come with QPv1? [Or did you install QPv1 after you bought]

Clean Windows installation + QPv2.1 = BLUE SCREEN

A Problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
these steps:

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed
hard drivers or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive
to make sure it is properly configured and terminated.
Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then
restart your computer.

Technical information:

OK, I could not resist. I Ghost restored my plain WinXP config (just network, video, and sound drivers) and installaed QP2.1. It went fine, and the end of the install asked for a Reboot. I did, and it came up in a kind of setup continuation mode, with a box labeled "Initializing...".

It took a while, and next time I looked was going through these:

Please Wait....
VGA - Intel 915GM ...
Audio - Conexant .....
QuickPlay 2.1 ....

Then it rebooted itself, and I was back in WinXP. After shutting down, I tried the Power -> Music key and up comes QP2.1 Direct. Looks like QP2.0, except for a new Windows Logo button on the Main screen which appears to put the machine to sleep. OK, now I see it shuts down QP and reboots into WinXP. BTW, to answer your question - I have a DV1000 series that came with QP1 installed.

I think most benchmark program will show the motherboard version. By the way, the Notebook Hardware Control is a very nice freeware. I have been using it to undervolt the system to prolong battery life and reduce heat.

I have not tried installing QP2.x in my DV4000 yet. I have two OS partitions on it with different programs and I use it at work everyday that I cannot take the risk until perhaps in Christmas when I have several days off. My DV4000 came with F.03 BIOS and QP1.x installed, but I have re-installed it after I add the second OS partition. The QP1.x and QP2.x are totally different programs. The QP1.x is a LINUX and QP2.x is Windoz. The only thing in common is both are tricky to install and the 2.x has certainly upgraded the difficulty.

When I hit F10 to boot into the Bios Setup screen, it shows the System Board ID (my DV1000 = 308F, for example), if that is what you mean. I know that the QP2.x setup routines look at this code seemingly to help determine what type of Audio / Video is supported.

Where did you find Notebook Hardware Control ?

Again, I still suspect the x700 being one of the problem. The QP2.0 was announced in January for the new machines DV1000T, V2000, DV5000, and DV8000. Then HP removed the x700 option for DV4000 in early March and DV4000 was still shipped with QP1.x in Feb. The F.12 BIOS which supports QP2.0 was released on 2/14/2006. This may be a co-incident as other ATI graphic interfaces support QP2.0.

billcsho, I think you are right about what you said. I think It has an issue with X700 or something with the board.

I have check my "System Board ID", It is "309E"... Like yours billcsho... So I think you will probably have the same problems when you try to install...

One special need from billcsho: Is it possible to upload your QPv1.x for DV4000 Series CD ISO? Or do you know any place where I can find that version (for DV4000)?

Thank you for the link...
Is this the one you used? Or I may ask like this, is it compatible with DV4000 series?
Because I have another copy that can not be installed to DV4000 series.



Also, for the ones who has two partition on their computer and want to install QPv2.x: Careful QP installation directly removes that partition...

hey

I got hp dv5164ea laptop with quickplay 2 installed, I bet this question was asked before (but i couldn't find it, due to huge thread), so here it is again..

can I make quickplay 2 to run divx xvid etc movies?
if so, how?

I looked at the 1GB partition of quickplay2 and it seems like a regular hibernated windows OS that runs quickplay 2 only.. so can i like access that partition and install the needed codecs for the application?

thanks.

No, you can't. But maybe you could give it a try and let us know.

Hola! long time no hear ...

Nonick - yes, QP2.x is a hibernated WinXP, but you have 2 things to contend with:

1) The MBR (boot) code does everything it can to keep you from accessing it natively, so it is not easy (possible, but difficult) to boot from your hard disk and access that partition.

2) The hibernated partition is WinXP Embedded code which (during the install process) modifies itself to NOT allow you to get a shell interface.

However, IF you can come up with a clean (no user intervention) install script for a DIVX codec then I believe it may be possible to squeeze it in. There seems to be a similar install process during the 2-boot install process for QP2.1.
