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 .
Yes, I tried this and you are correct. During the install you can see it actually updating the QP Direct file system, and QP Windows code. However, for some strange reason after completing the updating the version numbers are not the same? (QP Windows = 2.3.xxx, QP/Direct = 2.1.xxx) go figure? Anyways, the new skins are worth getting for 2.3 as well since they are not included.

BTW - Big thanks to huchris27 for posting the 2.3 files!

I personally really like the new Wavy skin. It matches the Imprint design on the shell of the DV2000T.

I have been reading this topic for the past few days to figure out how to get QP working again on my DV8000. I, like many, reformatted my HD to remove the fluff that HP ships with a new laptop. I also made recovery CD's but it failed to make them properly. I recently reinstalled Windows XP Pro and partitioned the HD for the 1GB of space QP2 needs (I have a disc! ). After several attempts to load it using HP's instructions I gave up and did it my own way. I started the laptop in Safe Mode and installed the software. QuickPlay now works as it is intened to work. I do not boot up if all I want to do is play a DVD or CD.

Hi..very good forum and thread..I wish I had found it weeks ago as I happily blew off partitions and MBRs on my new HP dv6000 trying to re-install QuickPlay..:-) ANyway, I wonder if anyone has the answer to the question I first saw posed way back at the beginning of this thread..namely, after reinstalling QP (on unpartitioned 1024 mb free space) it works ok except does not enter the hibernation mode it is supposed to upon exit, instead gives the error "unable to reserve hiberfile error c000007f" ANyone have insight how I might get rid of this? I have reinstalled QP many times..the first few times with no problem but now it gives me this error and cant seem to get rid of..thanks for any help!

I had the same problem after a reinstall of QP until I unistalled it and reinstalled it in Safe Mode. Try that and see if it works.

There are two folders:
  • QPW - QuickPlay in Windows
  • HPQPDP - DirectPlay
added 15 Oct 2006 - alternate download links:
file 1 of 9
file 2 of 9
file 3 of 9
file 4 of 9
file 5 of 9
file 6 of 9
file 7 of 9
file 8 of 9

First of all , thanks for uploading the above. Sure it will help alot of people.


For anyone that's having problems...
RapidShare links not showing #4, and #9...

So just download 4 & 9 from Mega and re-name.

Mega for some reason was allot faster than RapidShare...

Oh, that did not the trick for me I still have the "unable to reserve hiberfile error c000007f" error (twice) when I've booted up the Quickplay 2.1 Direct. I've tried to install HPQPD in Safe mode but it still gives me the error message

Try version 2.3 of QuckPlay. If you need a copy I can send you mine or I can burn it.

Oh really ? That would be reaaaally nice. I have Quickplay 2.3 for Windows but my Quickplay Direct version is still 2.1 (that's the version that was in my SW_Setup folder)... But I don't think you could send it to me as it must be ~400Mb no ??

QP 2.3 requires 1024MB of a partitioned HD. I think QP 2.1 does as well so if you have the HD partitioned already it should work. I'll attempt to burn a disc for you but if that doesn't work I'll send you the original. I'll have to get it back from you though.

Ok, so you were talking about Quickplay 2.3 WINDOWS, not DIRECT..

How can we upgrade Quickplay DIRECT ?

Firstly to everyne involved, good job guys keep it goin.

I bought my HP pavilion dv6011ea (with a remote control and F10 BIOS) a week or two ago in Austria so it came with German OS, since i wanted it English and get rid of all the c*** installed with HP recovery, i earased all the partitions . Thats when i noticed that there is no QP support online.

Found this thread. Read it for past few days, downloaded the files.Deleted everything, made 1 partition(left only 1028MB unpartitioned), installed windows, installed HPQPDP, installed QPW, installed the drivers, repartitioned the partition previously made with Partition magic, installed all the apps, updated QP to 2.3 3229..

and voila - everything works corectly

If anyone has the 1280x800 hp imprint wallpaper which came with laptop please contact me i would love to get it back,

thanks,
1Xtra

Btw reeves this files should work, they did for me..

I just bought a dv1000. I downloaded the QP 1.3 files from this thread and was able to get Quickplay to work on a newly formated machine running windows XP Pro. I am curious if anyone has had any luck upgrading to 2.3 on the dv1000 (not dv1000t). I read a lot of post were people were doing various things, but wonder if anyone was successful, and if so, is it worth the time. This is a new install, and reformating is not a problem. Suggestions?

I tried that, but it said it couldn't install. So I just installed 1.3. But then I was reading this thread and seemed like some had jimmy-rigged it to work. With 39 pages of posts, I couldn't find straight forward steps to do that. So, I was wondering if someone had a summary to do this.

Check out whats the QP partition size, becouse as i remeber the QP 1.x only consumed somewhere around 300MB. If thats the case, make a fresh format and leave 1028MB of free space(i left it unpartitioned, like i said before, i only made one partition out of all the other space and repartitioned it later, someone mentioned that it should be done like that, thou im not sure) and try installing QP than...
