HP's QuickPlay v2.0 - Page 28

V6000 and QP 2.0

I thought I'd jump in at this point...

I found this thread accidentally, and since then, been trying to figure out how to make QP work on my brand new V6000 Presario. I'm not sure wether it's even supposed to work on this model(or the european version at least).....but with the help of you Gurus I finally got it installed.
That registry modification made the difference. The only thing is, that when I try to boot to QP, it gives me the BSOD that Stimey has mentioned also.
When I boot my computer normally, it goes to XP as supposed.

AmigaDude.....you mentioned something about SATA disk causing the problem.....I've got on of those.

So, I'll just continue reading your posts in hope for solution....

Yep, i think i got a sata hd in this one.
So time to put in some sata support on the QP partion somehow.
Another task to kill some spare time
I wonder if i can just bung the drivers from the normal xp into the drivercache folder or something.
Will give it a try, we're getting closer and closer.

Well, according to this thread -> http://www.notebookforums.com/thread177332.html , it looks like QP2.3 is out for the DV200t. Since this machine has a SATA drive, it implies that QP2.3 has SATA support builtin. You might want to try coaxing someone to upload QP2.3 instead of wasting time trying to trick Embedded to do anything. (I've been trying and it's not easy...)

Now that I think about it, almost any of the newer machines (2000t, 6000t, 9000t, etc..) have SATA drives and should come with QP2.3 so.....

I've been gone for quite some time and there's already a QuickPlay 2.3 ? Shows you how long I've been gone. From what I could find out about HP QuickPlay 2.3, it enables HD content to be played on the program and that it's available with Pavilion dv2000, dv6100 and the dv9100.

If you can archive them into multiple files no larger than 250Mb, then http://www.depositfiles.com is an option that worked for me recently. Personally, I still use WinZip but any archive tool should work.

Anxiously awaiting something else to play with (QP2.3 )...

I wonder if Mythos_BT can make a torrent and share it with us. Anither way is to find out the name of the file or title of the CD/DVD that came with QP. Perhaps we can look it up on HP's FTP site.

No offence, but this rapid share is way to crazy.

If we share, we can all the have this toy!

I don't know if anybody has notice it or not but you can actually update your HP QuickPlay 2.1 to 2.3 ! Just open the HP QuickPlay program in Windows, navigate to QuickPlay Updates and you can find numerous updates to enhance your QuickPlay program, including new Skinpacks and Audio codecs !

The Skinpacks contain two new skins, Digicode and Wavy, and they are quite nice ! Check it out and see if you have it or not .

I've just tried QuickPlay 2.3 installation on my Presario V3040TU. Everything went on well (with all those registry tweaks). Unfortunately, the laptop refuse to boot up after pressing the quickplay button. Even pressing it after powering up also didn't have any effect.

Did try boot.ini hack by manually adding in an option to boot the quickplay partition. No luck! Went into XP loading screen but fade to black and froze shortly after.

If anyone has a clue. Please do shed some light. I'm beginning to doubt it'll ever work on Presario V3000 (asian version).

Cheers!

I have just read as many of these 38 pages seeking help but no luck.

Since deleting the recovery partition and using Acronis TI which writes to the MBR I can't use the QP or DVD key when powered off.

I still get QP when in windows but not pre loading into full windows, the QP partition is still intact so I'm assuming the MBR is at fault....

Should the QP partition also be an active partition?

any help

NO. What is probably missing is the actual code that QP rewrites into the MBR. In a standard, working, QP2.x enabled MBR the partition table entry for WinXP is active and NTFS, while the QP partion is type 'D7' and NOT active. The MBR code temporarily rewrites the partition table to make the QP partition active if/when you start with a media key. Subsequent reboots undo this and set WinXP active again.

The easist way to get the correct MBR code is to reinstall QP2.x.

NOTE: vincesee the boot.ini will not work since QP2 direct (WinXP embedded) MUST think it is the only active partition (C: drive) when it boots. Thats what the MBR code is doing, while the boot.ini will just tell it to boot from the D: drive, for example.

I reinstalled QP2.3 from the files offered here, page 37 I think... I had to remove the existing partition but it went smooth from there, during the install I saw that SATA drivers were loaded into the partition, the only wiered thing was that the drivers for GO 7600 were loaded not my GO 7400, but everything works fine and the MBR was fixed so I have full functionality again
