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.

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...
