hey fellow HP owners
I just bought my DV5137ea a week ago. (specs) it did work fone with no problems what so ever.
the I felt like installing the Vista beta 2.0 I got of MS when they went puplic a while ago.
its working really fine.. so the laptop is truely Vista capable and nearly vista premium ready :P
heres some pics
well. to the problems.. first of I had no audio support but I fixed that ez with the drivers from the HP hp (Homepage
). now I found out that the build in mediacenter (its the Ultimate version of Vista) is having some strange decoder errors.. when I try to start playing a video. (the example ones thats included) then it wont start.. its just saying "Decoder error" on the lower left corner.(watch pic 2 above)
anyone else having the same problem? maybe someone has fixed it?
the visualisor for the music is also freezing. but thats a minor issue since I dont intent to use that anyways.
2nd problem
after installing vista the booting prosess has changed, so now my quickplay fetures has stoped working.. its just booting up the the normal multiboot screan where I can choose either microsoft windows (vista) or "earlyer versions". I choose ealyer versions for the hope of finding anything that has to do with the quickplay still being on the 1gig partision. but no... its just loading into a black screen with a flashing underscore. I gues thats because the boot.ini on C:/ is emty. can anyone help me to find out what to put in the boot.ini ti be able to bootinto QP 2.0 or something?
ohh and yes I did
and thats what brought me here.. 
Best regards
