Good question... did you mean the Direct version, or Quickplay for Windows?

I have tried installing Quickplay 3.0 on a different machien, and it refused because the machine was not made by HP. Given that Compaq is under their umbrella, I would think it possible. A quick search shows that some Compaq models do indeed include Quickplay.

I will say this: If your laptop doesn't include Quickplay buttons or a remote, don't even try the Direct version. You'll have no way to start it.

Almost! I followed the instructions pg 44, for my DV2310US Vista Premium. I wiped the recovery partition and made the 1028 mb. When I came to step 10 (shut down and push the Quickplay button), it goes straight into Vista then QP.

I wonder if it has something to do with my pre-existing QP3 (updated)?

Edit: 5-7-07:

It did work all along. The quickplay button still goes straight into Vista, but last night I pushed the DVD button for the first time and it booted into QP Direct.
Thanks!

the problem you are having is a result of upgrading the QP software instead of clean install. if you complete a fresh install of os and follow my directions, it will work. 50 laptops and counting...

a single hard drive may ONLY contain FOUR primary partitions. to use more, you need to use extended partitions. however, quickplay will ONLY boot from a primary partition. AND it must be the LAST primary partition on a drive.

the restore disks from HP are worthless in terms of getting quickplay to run. the only disks that would restore QP would be the backup disks you CREATE when you first turn on your system.

if you want directions for installation, email me...

New link to HP QuickPlay 2.3 Direct and Windows versions. Separate files for each. This is at sam's request and the files come from the gracious support of Toxico and Boeonoz without who this would not be possible.

Enjoy!

I've found a link to the quickplay direct, it can be found on asifism.com

My computer came with vista preloaded, i deleted the hp recovery partition and left an unformatted partition of 3GB and labeled it x:.
i installed the files, and everything seemed to work. The setup ran, installed everything on the x: drive, rebooted, ran and installation in xp, and rebooted vista. now i dont know how to get to quickplay. if i click the button on my laptop it boots into vista and runs quickplay for windows. If anyone knows why this might be happening please help!

Okay, this question is posted for toxic or amiga guy primarily, because they seem to be know-all on the issue. Anyone else who can help, please do.

QPD is installed. Only problem is after I install it takes away the drive letter X: that I assigned to the QP partition. Now, I can't boot into QPD because X: does not exist, I'm just seeing healthy space at the end under disk management. Can't assign a letter to it because the only option i get is to delete that partition.

I'm using vista, and partition magic has serious compatibility with it. So, how do I go by assigning the letter X: to that space?

Oh, and you can download all the files from my server. http://www.asifism.com lists the latest keys and you can enter them on http://www.asifism.com/downloader to get access to HPQPDP, QPW 2.3 and 3.0.

Cheers!
