HP's QuickPlay v2.0 - Page 37

Actually, never mind about the DVD playing issue, it's gone now.
After playing a DVD in Windows mode with Quickplay, it now plays fine in QP Direct.
I guess since i never used the DVD drive before it had to initialize or something, I don't know...

Glad things got worked out, euhnlee.

I apologize to everyone for not revising the instructions as of yet; my neck still hurts from the car wreck, I'm getting married this weekend, and it's crunch time both at home and at work (new IP phone system going in this week) - my cup runneth over at the moment! My fiancee is out doing girly things tonight; if my daughter will let me *cough* I may do it here shortly.

I have finish install HPQPDP with Vista OS. After I enable Hibernation in Vista, it's work well.

I have post some clip here

hi isch, i had the same problem but now i know how to fix it i'll start from the begining, maybe these informations will help someone else.

first thing is a number of partitions we have on the disk. i had C (primary), D E F G (logical disks on extended partition). i've resized last partition so the free space after all of this partitions was 1gb (1027mb) but every time i started setup, the 5% error occured. i tried to format this 1gb space, left it unallocated etc. but nothing helped. someone in earlier post (sorry i can't find it now) wrote that maximum number of partitions is 4 so i merged E, F and G into one bigger partition with letter E. with this partitioning the setup went ok but after reboot there was that blank black screen which are you isch talking about... i've checked boot.ini file (method with mapping described in earlier post) on the X partition created by quickplay and there was line:
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS
there's 'partition(4)' because i have 3 partition before partition X so this is all right.
only restoring the original xp's MBR helped to normally run xp. while installer was running i saw strange thing in the window where are all partitions listed:
C Partition1........
D Partition3........
E Partition4........
F Partition2........ (this is quickplay's 1gb partition)
as you can see quickplay's partition has number 2, not 4 i think that primary partitions are numbered first and then logical disks on extended partitions. so i converted in partition magic all logical partitions to primary, installed quickplay again and after reboot quickplay partition booted i've checked numbering of partitions in xp installer and now everything was ok
but it's not the end of the story...:/ there was next problem... quickplay's partition booted but one second after xp logo showed strange error occured. it looked like blue screen of death in w98, severe error or something, i don't remember. after many experiments i found that the reason was disabled 'SATA native mode' in bios, so i enabled it. quickplay started without any problems, initialized and after reboot the same blue screen showed but while loading normal xp FUUUUUUUCK !?!?!?!?!?!?! i didn't know what's going on. on enabled 'sata native' quickplay worked good, xp crashed. and on disabled 'sata native' quickplay crashed and xp worked good on the net i've found document which described how to install sata drivers on hp's notebooks. i tried it and... EVERYTHING WORKS FINE NOW
this document you can download from:

geeeeez it took me whole week to install this f*** quickplay
maybe these infromations will help someone.

now i'd like to install quickplay for windows but i can't download the files from megaupload.
can someone upload it somewhere else, PLEAAASE??? thanks

SORRY for my english

I can provided you QuickPlay 3.0 for Vista, Have't test on WinXP.

However, I will try to upload 2.3 when I totally got home.

thanks again boeonoz it works great!!

Hey, thanks for the info that you guys have posted. It's amazing how users figure out problems for free when tech support fails.

I am not very sophisticated in this stuff and could not seem to find straight answers by searching, so I was wondering if I could get help with 2 questions...

--after upgrading to vista on my dv9000t, do I want to install quickplay 2.3 or 3.0? It looks like people have 2.3 working, but what differences exist?

--I am unclear about how to proceed with my setup according to the directions on p.44 of this post. Disk management under vista shows disc 0 on my laptop with a 1gb (1029MB) partition at the end that is unallocated (the C drive is symbolized with a blue bar, and the other partition is in black and simply says "1.00gb unallocated"). I am pretty sure I killed my recovery partition when I made recovery disks under XP, and then when I installed vista I don't think I did anything to my original quickplay partition. Am I ready to go for running the program that you guys link to http://www.megaupload.com/es/?d=QVE3S9PU at this time, or do I need to do more?

Thanks for any tips, I just don't want to mess things up even more...

3.0 is the Windows-based version; the 2.3 that we're usually talking about is the standalone version (in most cases; 2.3 for Windows is mentioned a few times).

You do NOT want the file you linked! That' an old version being kept around for legacy purposes. You want files from here:

http://ridickulous.net/quickplay/

Grab Quickplay 3.0.rar and HPQPDP.rar (or .zip; they're the same thing, just different compression). The first one is the Windows version; the second is the "Direct" or standalone version.

If that 1GB partition is definitely the LAST one on the drive (sounds like it is) then you're good to go. Try installing the standalone version as it is now; if it fails, go back and assign the 1GB partition drive letter X: using Disk Management and try again.


Sorry I haven't been around in a while, folks - Exchange server at work took a dive and we have some whiny users. :P

Whoops, I referred to the wrong link in my post by mistake. Yes, I got those files from the link you mentioned instead. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

So ultimately, I'll be wanting to install both versions, so that I can access media without booting windows and also use QuickPlay from within Vista.

Is that correct?

Also, Should I install this?

Thanks for all the info

Thanks Boeonoz! I've been looking everywhere for 2.3 Windows download!

And Toxico, with your great help I got QP 2.3 Direct going. Great instructions! Thanks heaps!

Yes, you'll want both versions. QP for Windows actually isn't a shabby media player.

Once you install 3.0 those updates will be irrelevant. They are for QP Windows 2.3.

What happens if I'm on a Compaq laptop and want to install this? I am running XP and it's a Compaq V5303NR.

Also, no need to download the updates posted here, just start Quickplay (while connected to the Internet) and on the main page, go to the Quickplay looking icon where it will take you to an update page where it will look for updates (skin, application). Choose the update and then it opens a web browser on cyberlink's site where you can download the update.

No idea if it works on Compaq computers. Try it and let us know!

The only thing about that is that, I have noticed, no matter what version you are running it wants to give you the same updates.
