Sorry to pimp another forum, but in the off chance a link to QPv3 appears here:

I haven't tried it yet so I cannot vouch for it, but here is a torrent link for a QP 2.0 CD:

*bumps for want of QP3 :P*

Hey Toxico, I think the qp2.3 upload errored out for some reason, there is only a partfile.
Everything that was succesful is at the same link as before:
http://ridickulous.net/quickplay/
A description of each file would be great so people know what they are downloading. Thanks.

Yeah, I kept getting disconnected when uploading the .iso. It shouldn't be necessary, though; you can kill the partfile if you want.

HPQPDP.zip and HPQPDP.rar are the same thing, just duplicated to be on the safe side in case WinRAR was jacking up the .cab files. They're the full QP 2.3 Direct install files as they would reside in the Swsetup folder. They both work for me; I think the original problem started after uploading the files and made data2.cab not able to be decompressed. If someone wants to test either or both of those that'd be awesome.

QPv1.nrg is the QP v1.x image that was provided some time ago, in case anyone needs it for legacy reasons.

Looks like I'm going to be sans Quickplay again as work has asked that we at least install Vista on a separate partition since we'll have to support it to some extent. As I'm the unlucky one of the group with only 40GB in his company desktop, I'm blowing away my XP install on my laptop and doing a fresh Vista install. Partition has been imaged and files individually backed up.

Hopefully within the next few days someone will be able to offer up QP v3. I'll try installing QP 2.3 Direct and report back on how it goes and if it plays nice with Vista. I don't see why it wouldn't since it has its own OS and partition, but you never know.

Get Quickplay v3 here: http://www.robertbromfield.com/Quickplay%203.0.rar

PLEASE NOTE THAT UNLESS YOU ARE RUNNING VISTA, YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING THIS VERSION. Also, this is QPW and Quick Launch buttons for Vista, not QPD. Bummer.

This guy claims to have the rest of the Swsetup directory from a couple of machines, so I'l keep tabs on it.

Torrent for Swsetup folder from dv6000/dv2000 machines.

Edit: Oops. The above folder is from a machine that ships with Vista.

Sad to say, but it so far appears that HP isn't shipping the install files for QP with new laptops that ship with Vista. I've gone to Best Buy and Fry's myself to confirm this, and others have stated it as well.

I'll call HP this week if nothing surfaces. There's definitely a version that works with Vista in existence; obtaining it may prove to be a chore...

Hello, I'm using dv6375ea.I have Vista Home Premium.

1-) Quickplay works fine on Vista but it doesn't start without booting Vista.I read the forum and a lot of people have this problem too.I want to start Quickplay without windows and watch the films easily.Also I haven't HPQPDP file in my SWSETUP.The people who have Vista Pre-install will not have HPQPDP in their SWSETUP.What can I do ?


Can this download download solve my problem ? Thanks.

The download for QuickPlay from this link was fantastic. I have a dv9008tx which I upgraded from WinXP MCE to Vista Ultimate (without backing up the SWSetup directory ) and lost the installer.

Can someone please provide Quickplay 2.3 for Windows QPW. None of the links no longer work for this program. Perhaps if Toxico can upload it to the http://ridickulous.net/quickplay/ address?

Thanks.

I PMed you as well, but I'll put this here for everyone's benefit:

The Megaupload links above seem to still work; you may be able to obtain QPW from these. I will obtain the QPW folder from a coworker and see about getting it uploaded somewhere.

Yes you guys are getting the QuickPlay 3.0 from my site. Yes this guys name is Robert as you can see from the link. So far downloads have totaled 21 Gb. The drivers where uploaded by a torrent.

Hey Robert; no offense in not using your name initially. Was going for as much anonymity as possible outside your original post.

Since you're here: Thanks a ton for your efforts in obtaining all of this and providing it. Good lookin out.

21Gb? Yikes. Need an alternate host? I can make a .torrent for QP3 and seed it if you like.

Hi Toxico,

Thanks for your effort in uploading the links to all the files needed to install QuickPlay 2.3. I have downloaded HPQPDP.rar from http://ridickulous.net/quickplay/ and extract the folder HPQPDP. Everything went normal (no extracting error at all) but when i run setup.exe, i keep getting ComponentMoveData error, Error number -2147418113.

Have also downloaded the other data2.cab and data3.cab files from the depositfiles link to replace the ones in HPQPDP folder (as suggested) but getting the same error. Any ideas? Thanks.
