HP/Compaq :: #268Quick Play 2.0
Jan 6, 2009
While back, looks like user "WeAreNotAlone" has solution to my recover reinstall of Quick Play on dv8301nr with 2-each 80gb hard drives, posted o5-25-06, #268 under HP Notebook Forums, HP notebooks, HP's Quick Play v2.0.
Fix was to remove or re-size the extended (logical) partition to allow totally free, unpartitioned space at the end of the drive.... Then run the QP v2.0 installer...
How do I do this?
I wiped both hard drives (after getting frustrated), Put in HP's Windows XP recovery DVD (that I ordered from HP specific to my dv8301nr) and subtracted 1024 from available (but ended up with 1020, somehow?), then installed HP's Application and Programs DVD, and, after long online chat with HP live help, installed their update for installing Quick Play. But i still get Error 2147418113 Quick Play Componnent Move Data error. How do I remove or re-size this logical partition thing-a-ma-jig? Thanks.
By rhe way, new here. Looks like lots of good info. Have 2-each HP laptops, and one HP desktop. In past, have bought, new, 3-HP desktops, and these current used laptops. I like HP, most of the time

I reboot and it works excellent now. Don't know why, but it was ejecting every disc I put in, even blank ones, so I rebooted. For some reason it must not have liked the very first Blu-Ray I put in ever, and set of the ejections. Its ok now. Odd.
For the first time ever I have bought a Blu-Ray DVD. I put the DVD in my DV9774ca "Blu-Ray" drive and expect Media Center or something to come up, yet the disc drive is making its searching jiggedy jig noises for a few moments, then it ejects it and nothing happens on screen. No programs open or anything.

Anything that tries to load full screen or any games for that matter now refused to run on my dv7t.
I did a fresh install of the operating system AGAIN tried WOW and SWAT 4. NO go.
It loads the game and goes back to the desktop. This is without me ever even hooking up my external monitor to it.
I'm about ready to send it back and buy another mac.
Anyone have any solutions? I'm running vista x64. I tried installing the drivers at hp.com for vista x64 and it told me they were NOT x64 drivers.
I then installed the newest ones from nvidia.com. I also have the same problem with them.

I only use laptops for some wifi, docs and music but I thought it was time for a slight upgrade so I found a deal on a Studio 15 and bought it.
I would like to start playing some games, not serious, but just some fun games to pass the time.
Below is my config, I am not sure what kind of games it can handle.
The system ended up costing me $735 brand new at Dell with my discounts.
Take a look and let me know what I can play (games) on it ......

I am looking at the Sony VGN-FW378J/B. One of the features I like about it is the Blu Ray. I rent mostly Blu Ray from Netflix as I have the PS3 and can watch them. My girlfriend doesn't so I figure I am in the market for a new notebook, I may as well get the Sony with Blu Ray and HDMI and I can take it to her house and watch Blu Ray on her TV through my laptop. I didn't think anything of it until I was listening to a computer show where they said that some computers won't allow you to play the Blu Ray through the TV.
They called it "mirroring" I believe. Either something in the hardware and DVD protected it from playing on the TV.
So My question is, has anybody hooked their Sony notebook to their TV through the HDMI cable and played a Blu Ray movie? And if it did work how was the quality?

I've installed Flip4Mac and I still can't listen to music that's using the WMP plugin on Firefox. I can't see the play, pause, etc. controls on the website. Sometimes, the music would play, but most of the time it won't. If it does play, I still can't see the controls for it.

This is the bane of my existence.
System 1: HP DV4
AMD Turion 2.1GHz proc
4GB DDR2 Ram
WD Scorp BLue 250GB HDD
A really good dedicated Graphics card, could play Civ 4 at fairly high settings, 1280x800 no problems.
Now I tried to play the ESiR rip of Saving Private Ryan, no juice.
I tried it in Win 7, nothing, I installed Win 7 RC1, still couldn't do it.
I'm talking a new installation, no software, just VLC.
NOW, the funny thing is my friend, on his Black Macbook (2.4GHz, 4GB ram, bad Intel Int GFX) can play blueray rips PERFECTLY, while doing a million other things.
SO I buy his laptop because he upgraded, install a fresh copy of OSX, and guess what? It still dosen't play (although the hardware is 1000x better than HP's) I don't understand why VLC uses ALL of my CPU, and when I close EVERYTHING, and restart finder 8 times because I can't close it, the thing still stutters. I can watch stuff, but it will freeze on a frame and stutter.
It's not just private ryan, I have Terminator 2, 3, 1, and a lot of other movies.
I've tried quicktime, Realplayer, Nice Player, VLC, WMP, ect.
My friend says it might be the MKV file container, because when he was playing them on his brand new uMBP, they went fine, but he couldn't skip through the video without it glitching (pause and unpause to shake off the 'blocks'). I've never really been able to skip through a video without it hanging or getting the 'blocks'. Even a 10mb AVI sometimes gives me issues. He said it was a bad rip because he couldn't freely 'scroll' through the video.
Could this be some hardware issue?
720P AVIs do seem fine, but everyone puts their stuff into MKV. I thought MKV was better than AVI.
If I convert these into H.264 or something, will that solve the problem?

This is the second XPS 16 I got within 4 months. after 47 calls to XPS tech support and 2 system exchanges just to still have the same issue.
when I log into my facebook account and try to play farmvile the system freezes up and flashes from a white screen to black and so on until I have to force shut it down and restart. now, I know that for $2700.00 dollars I should be able to play a simple beta game.

I bought my laptop and played the bluray demo with no problem, and didn't touch it again for 6 weeks. I wanted to show a friend how it goes and it didn't play. I thought it might be deactivated so i bought a bluray film so to be sure. NO GO ! I put the disk in and it opens a file with the letters aacs , not sure of that , bdvm and certificate. I'm pleased to see I'm not the only person with this problem , been trying to work it out for the last two weeks ,apparently according to the dealer, Acer Support hotline should be able to help me fix this problem, but I was searching on Google and stumbled on this website. Somebody said to the other person to try updating, but why ?

I own a Vaio NS-190J and I had this problem ever since I upgraded to Vista Ultimate from Home Premium. I've also upgraded to Windows 7 RC1 as well. I've tried downloading every BD playback program possible and it still doesn't read BD. DVD's/CD's burn/play fine btw. Is there any way to fix this or is this drive going to be a very expensive DVD drive to me?
Also I have a problem with the keyboard. Whenever I am typing it likes to replace my cursor where ever it pleases it its very annoying.

My Pavilion g7 speaker will not play. It works with external speakers or headphones. One computer repair shop said the IDT driver was missing. The tech guy at the place where I purchased the PC said if the driver was missing or not working no audio would play at all even on headphones. How can I determine if the speakers are inop or just not enabled properly etc?
