    I have quickplay working in vista and in xp i have installed the file qpw23 and in programs quick play comes up. I have allocated 1.6 gb of free space for the quickplay feature on my notebook. I have tried to install HPQPDP and keep getting code 2147418113. This usually means no enough free space. Anybody have any ideas.

    as far as i know, the quick play partition MUST be 1028mb and the VERY end of the physical drive. also, it must be a primary partition.

    I think it has to be at least 1028mb, but can be bigger.

    Try to label it X and install again.

    2147418113 This error can be from the fact that Windows recognized the partition, and therefore Quickplay cant install it as a hidden partition.

    IN XP simply, open up Administrative Tools from the Control Panel.
    Go to Computer Management. Select Disc Management.

    You should see your 1 GB of free space as its own drive. Right Click on it and go to delete partition. Leave the space unallocated and then Launch Quickplay. It will do the rest.
