I posted this elsewhere and got no reply but i think maybe this thread is more appropriate. Does anyone know if its possible to get USB speakers to work with quickplay direct? They work fine in quickplay and everything when windows is running, but when i start quickplay without booting windows it only uses the onboard audio.

JasonDv6000 - If you look back a few pages in this thread (I think), you will see that someone posted how they were able to load a DIVX driver, by doing some trickery. Theoretically you could try something similar and just might get it to work. However, chances of screwing up the load are very high, so try at your own risk!

cktc - I'm not sure what you really want to accomplish, but consider this - Quickplay 2.x is Windows XP Embedded, which is essentially WinXP stripped down to the essentials so that it boots faster and has less chances for the user to muck it up. Most HTPC builders just do the same thing themselves by stripping out unneccessary things and either using MCE or plain XP with a front-end (of which there are a lot to choose). If you look over at hometheaterforum you can find the latest and greatest front-end users I'm sure. If you don't want an HTPC but just QP functionality on a non-HP laptop then you still need another program since QP has only certain HP drivers builtin and no easy way to add more.

This is an old story but still relevant - http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1376545,00.asp

Hi,
thanks very much for people who went to trouble of uploading QP2.3 for us

However, I am getting a CRC error on part 8 hence no data3.cab file... have tried downloading this one multiple times from megaupload, sendspace, and rapidshare mirrors... i get a CRC on all of them. Can someone please re-post a part8 that extracts properly or email me at braden.ackerman at g mail dot com


thanks much!

edit: actually not sure if its part 8 that is the problem, winrar says CRC fail in 8.... at any rate im missing data3.cab can somebody pretty please re-post/re-upload it ty

Does anyone know if its actually possible to access the quickplay partition? I know it has a drivers folder like windows.. It has to, since it must have audio and video drivers plus the driver for my wireless usb mouse. if i could just get in there and copy one file... (usbaudio.sys.) i think is the driver for usb speakers.

Hi guys!!
I have a DV9000T that came with QuickPlay 2.3.
When I reinstall the machine, I forgot to save the partitions.
Now, I'm trying to install again the QuickPlay Direct 2.3 in my laptop.
But, when I try to install, I get always the same error code : -2147418113
I already followed all the guides here, but none worked for me.
My configuration is the following below:
Patition 1 - C: ( Windows XP )
Rest of the disk - Unllocated

I already try with QuickPlay 2.1 and 2.3, that I download here in the post.
Somebody can help me??

Thanks a lot!
Glauber

PS: Sorry about the english ( I'm a brazilian guy )

Let try to explain what´s going on in my isntallation...
I renamed my DVDROM to X: drive letter, and in the installation of QuickPlay, it creates a 1GB partition. rename it to X: , and copy all the files of Quickplay.
When you restart the computer, the installation finish in the MSDOS mode.
I only rename my DVDROM to Z: , and the installation finish sucefull!!!

If somebody have the same error code that mine ( -2147418113 ), try to do this, I thinks that´s will work!!

QuickPlay Direct 2.x can be reinstalled on Vista. You'll need to burn a DVD of SwSetup before wiping the factory load. I'd recommend creating the Recovery DVDs so you can safely remove the hp_recovery partition as well. Leave the QPD partition alone or leave space for it during the Vista installation (although Vista can resize partitions!) Also, the QPD partition MUST be the 2nd primary partition, so if you are creating multiple partitions make one primary, and the rest extended/logical.

After installing Vista, go into Disk Management. If necessary, create a 1GB (1028 MB) primary partition and format it NTFS. Assign the drive letter X: to the QP partition. That's the trick. The HPQPDP Setup can't create the volume, so you have to do it, and it has to be X:

Run \SwSetup\HPQPDP\setup.exe. If it bombs with a ComponentMoveError, there's something wrong with the X: drive (wrong letter or not formatted?). If setup completes, the X: drive will disappear. Restart and the machine should boot into QPD to finish setup.

FYI, QuickPlay Direct 2.0 is 100% compatible with the Vista's MBR. These steps should also work on any version of XP.

Ran accross this in another thread. Might help so I'm reposting it here

"unable to reserve hiberfile error:c0000"

I updated my fix for that, because you CAN'T assign a drive latter after QPD install completes.

So is this the updated info?

Hi. I was looking at a Compaq laptop at a store which had Quickplay for Windows, and liked the UI (Especially its simplicity). Unfortunately, I have an Acer Laptop. Is it possible to install the Quickplay Windows Software (Not Direct) on it? If it is, will everything work?

So I'll be getting an hp notebook soon, it's on order. I was reading up and came across this thread. Glad to see this being done. Let me help out by giving you all some real hosting for these files:

http://ridickulous.net/quickplay/

I have 2.3 in there now, I'll add more if people request it. I have 2 terabytes of bandwidth a month so hopefully you all can't swamp it. Happy downloading.

WoW! That's good. It's been ages since the last time I wrote a message here. I'm really happy this thread is helping people deal with QuickPlay, and I'm happy you are helping with the hosting!
