HP's QuickPlay v2.0 - Page 26

How do I burn these files as a bootable cd? I dont have a Windows-installation to launch the installer from.

Hi All guys!
This is my firtst post and I would start saying sorry for my horrible english!

Anyway.... I've read all topic and I've tried all links to download QP 2.0 image CD but no one works for me. Could any one please give me a still working link.

Thankyou all guys!

dannymello - try the links 2 posts back, and make sure that you fill in the code that will display on the left side of the page - after the timer counts down.
It is easy to miss and will look like this:
"Enter Code: XXXX | |"

ChronoDK - All in all it would probably be faster and easier to do a temporary WinXP install, since getting the QP2.1 CD to boot sounds tricky. They use the Windows Installer files and InstallShield which would have to be uhh tricked into working correctly.

Thank you very much, this afternoon I was at work, and may be there was some restriction. I had seen the field to fill but when I clicked on "download" it linked me in a blank page and no download started.

Now I'm at home and it is working fine... slow but fine.

Thanks againg.

hi!
i bought a HP pavilon dv5000 2weeks ago.
but its from Italy and the windows is the same.
Im hungaian but i cant take hungarian win to the notebook because i didnt get CD-s and i dont want to lose the QP software.Can i download it from somewhere?
thanks

oh and what can ido with HP recovery?
i cant get in it:\

sorry im blind
now i see the links.
but for my second question still waiting for answer

and i read that i can use QP while windows isnt running.
but how?i have 2.1qp

i downloaded th files but how can i install it?
there is no exe file or something:S

vasi - If I understand correctly, you have QP2.1 on your new DV5000. Now you have downloaded the same thing? No need to bother with that since it is already on your machine. In fact, the install files for QP2.1 should be in your C:\swsetup\QuickPlay folder, or something like that.

You should search around here for one of the posts on Reinstalling windows for some ideas on backing up the important files like Quickplay. It does not really matter if they wrote it for a DV2000, DV5000 or DV8000 since the ideas are similar. Oh yes, and Create Backup Disks now!

thank you!
but i still dont know what is that recovery part and what can i do with that.
and how can i make backup discs?

sorry i found it in another topic.
the backup discs are only the swsetup folder?

I've found the SOLUTION!!!

I've found the solution and just now I've finished to see a divx movie in Quickplay Direct!!!
The solution is not easy but it's possible!!!
The first problem was to access to QuickPlay partition: i used "acronis disk director" and with this program I can see the ntfs file system from default windows partition.
At this point I renamed QP.exe in ProgramFiles/HP directory in QP_bak.exe.
Then I've copied a codec pack installer file and rename and rename in QP.exe.

In this way the new QP.exe is the installer file!

At this point I started my pc in QP mode but I've pressed F8 key to cancel resume system. In this way I started QP partition without hibernating mode.
At the startup, Quickplay doesn' start and codec install file started!
I've installed the file and shutdown the pc.

Now I've started the DEFAULT operative system, and with the same program I restored the old QP.exe file and I've erased the codec install file!

The last point was start the QP partition and with F8 cancel the hibernating mode another time.

So, at this point, I can use the QP partition without problems. I use the hibernating mode (I don't play F8 key now) and I can see all the files that I want.


I want add a specification. The QP partition is setted to start QP.exe and the system tried to start this program in loop if you don't start the right program. So, when I installed codec pack, I had this annoyance.
But only this problem was when I' installed the codec. Now it is PERFECT!!!
Divx, XVID ...ecc.

For more help, contact me by mail at pigreco33AThotmailDOTcom!!!

Bye bye

Now, I'm going to see another movie!!! :-) :-) :-)

what codec installer did u use? and what do you mean with the last part about the QP partition is settled for Qp.exe?

i dont understand this part..

When you use QP partition, it is setted to started and shutdown in Hibernation mode (the same of windows).
If you press F8 key, the system will start with normal bootstrap and then he'll try to start qp.exe from Programfile/HP directory.
He attempt to start this program is in loop, so, if you've substituted the file, the system will'be going in a loop and it'll open a lot of codec install wizard interfaces.
It is not a problem because, when the memory is low, this action is stopped and you can continue to follow codec installation wizard.I've used the codecpack at www.codecpack.com.
It is a very useful codecpack file without spyware and it's very light software.

I hope to have answered to your question.

Excuse me for my bad bad bad english.

i think i got you meant.. thanks.. i'll definitely try this later. would be really nice to play divx videos in QP also.

Ok! I'm waiting for your news!

hi again
i've just reinstalled the windows.
but the quickbuttons on the keyboard(the DVD and the roundarrow) opens the winmediaplayer and ot the QP.How can i set it?

You have to install HP Quick Launch Buttons. You can find this software in the QLC folder in your C /SWSETUP directory!
Bye!
