    Hello,
    I have a HP dv8000. I recently had to reformat and reload
    Windows and Quickplay. I went through the whole routine
    of formatting the first partition with XP and left a 204Meg Partition
    for QuickPlay. It installed fine. It even launches ok, but some of
    the buttons are not working.
    When I press DVD the Laptop boots to Quickplay and starts playing
    the DVD, but I have no control of volume. The volume buttons do not
    work at all and the center mute button stops the movie.
    Buttons on the remote are the same way. The DVD will start the laptop,
    but sound, stop, forward won't work.
    Is there a way to configure these buttons from within Quickplay?
    Patches or updates?

    Thanks

    Quickplay without windows.

    but on a side note, from within windows, the buttons work fine.

    well there are updates for quickplay but dunno if they will do anything, you go into windows launch quickplay and search for updates.
