windows xp on dv5t - all drivers installed

Hello All!

If mute button fix from my previous post not work for you, after registry change try run "stacsv.exe -r" from Program Files\IDT\WDM folder.

---

I looking for scancodes for buttons: QuickPlay, DVD, Screen Switch and Media Center. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

 

@kiyouta: How do I know if the stereomix reg entry worked?

@all: Anyone having issues, try these drivers here, they worked for me without needing to do the reg fix, and mute button works correctly out of the box!

joshua, what about the ENE-CIR drivers?

 

I've had no luck with CIR drivers really. Just got my replacement so will investigate in next few days. It appears AMD users have more luck. I did a quick test last nite with VLC player and no drivers installed, it didn't appear to recognise any remote commands.

The IDT driver posted above has power management on, so it "pops". I will see if this can be disabled in the registry anywhere. There is no control panel app for it. Else I will try the modified drivers posted earlier.

 

joshua the ENE drivers in my thread here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=338874 have worked perfectly for me on XP.. all buttons seem to be working apart from QuickPlay obviously.. Give them a go.

 

I will try dannyres, thanks for heads up. Edit: Awesome, most buttons now function with the remote! DVD and QP don't (don't have QP installed anyway), nor do the Media Centre specific ones as is to be expected. Not all work OOTB with VLC player, probably need to be setup. Also, seek back didn't appear to work with Media Player, but only test with old version 9.

Regarding the "pop", it might not have defaulted to doing this, but might have been because I added the stereomix registry info, which appears to enable power saving modes. I changed some of those values and it appears to have stopped.

I'm having slower than expected drive performance when navigating using explorer. It appears to be better without Intel Matrix driver installed. Sometimes there is a slight, perhaps 0.5 sec delay before opening a folder, or going "back". I've tried on a slower XP latop and it's instant in all cases. In addition, sometimes it is instant on my machine. For eg, if you access the windows folder, then back, the windows, back and repeat, sometimes it will be instant, other times there will be the pause. It's quite annoying and really shouldn't be there IMO. I might have tweaked something by mistake. Anyone notice this? You will need to go back and forth several times at least. By comparison, the slower laptop loads the windows folder instantly and it has more files in it than mine. I'm running a fresh install of XP, nothing much else except the drivers. I've disabled powermizer incase that was to blame, but it's not.

 

How do i check stereomix is working???

 

I've determined that Intel matrix contoller is not to blame for slow explorer navigation - it's the windows sounds. Remove the "start navigation" sound and all is good. Even if you asign this sound to "end navigation" it still causes slowdown at times. I checked this on the other laptop with XP home, and it did not have a "start navigation" only "end navigation". Even when end is assigned a sound, that laptop did not slow down at all. I would put this down to a driver/hardware issue. Both the dv6 and modified driver perform in the same manner.

 

The dv6 drivers default to powersaving, causing a "pop" noise to turn on/off the speakers. To disable this, search the registry for "AllowHpOnNonSupportingPin" and keep searching until you are in CurrentControlSet (NOT CurrentControlSet001 or otherwise).

Change the values of CPL_MaySwitchExtAmpPowerState and CPL_SaveExtraPower both from 1 to 0.

Reboot.

 

Just like to also confirm that this is the best ENE-CIR driver tested so far

 

Edit: Opps double post

 

Hi everyone,

+1 to dannyres for the find on the 2.6.0.0 drivers that he posted. Earlier , i had posted tests i did with the drivers i had found, which turned out to be 2.5.0.0 Now thanks to him and his find i am now able to remap every key on my remote, even suspend , quickplay, display, and green button and the Play/pause button , which we couldn't remap with 2.5.0.0.

The following registry location contains the IR code table :

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ENECIR\ENE0100\5&3a6306f0&2&00\Device Parameters]
"IrCodeTable"=hex:02,0f,04,0f,54,4a,1e,01,00,52,20,01,00,50,22,01,00,28,21,01,\
  00,4f,1f,01,00,51,01,01,00,1e,02,01,00,1f,03,01,00,20,04,01,00,21,05,01,00,\
  22,06,01,00,23,07,01,00,24,08,01,00,25,09,01,00,26,1d,01,e1,25,00,01,00,27,\
  1c,01,e1,20,0a,01,00,29,0b,01,00,28,0c,02,82,00,26,03,8d,00,23,03,24,02,0f,\
  03,09,02,1b,03,b6,00,1a,03,b5,00,15,03,b4,00,16,03,b0,00,14,03,b3,00,18,03,\
  b1,00,17,03,b2,00,19,03,b7,00,12,03,9c,00,13,03,9d,00,10,03,e9,00,11,03,ea,\
  00,0e,03,e2,00,50,03,93,00,4e,03,08,02,6e,03,cd,00,28,04,28,00,0d,04,0d,00,\
  46,04,46,00,47,04,47,00,48,04,48,00,49,04,49,00,4a,04,4a,00,24,04,24,00,4b,\
  04,4b,00,4c,04,4c,00,4d,04,4d,00,4f,04,4f,00,25,04,25,00,80,04,80,00,81,04,\
  81,00,27,04,27,00,5b,04,5b,00,5c,04,5c,00,5d,04,5d,00,5e,04,5e,00,60,04,60,\
  00,5a,04,5a,00,5f,04,5f,00,32,04,32,00,33,04,33,00,34,04,34,00,35,04,35,00,\
  36,04,36,00,37,04,37,00,38,04,38,00,39,04,39,00,3a,04,3a,00,80,04,80,00,81,\
  04,81,00,6f,04,6f,00

Simply search for "ircodetable" in regedit and find the one located in currentcontrolset as usual.

Now, how to read the table goes like this (taken from oem26.inf in c:\windows\inf) :

Code:

HKR,,"IrCodeTable",0x00000001,\
    2,                   \ ; CustomerCount
    0x0F, 0x04,          \ ; 1st CustomerCodeLo/CustomerCodeHi (MCE rc6)
    0x0F, 0x54,          \ ; 2nd CustomerCodeLo/CustomerCodeHi (acer rc6)
    0x4A,                \ ; ReportCount
    \ ; IrCode, ReportId, HIDBtn0, HIDBtn1
    0x1E, 1, 0x00, 0x52, \ ; "Up"
    0x20, 1, 0x00, 0x50, \ ; "Left"

Now, here's the fun part, i went through all the keys with Event ghost, and finally the play/pause button has a valid ir code in the table. Here are all the keys for my remote :

Code:

Suspend key 		: 0x0C, 2, 0x82, 0x00, \ ; "Standby"
DVD Key 		: 0x24, 4, 0x24, 0x00, \ ; "DVD Menu"
Quickplay Key		: 0x80, 4, 0x80, 0x00, \ ; "OEM1"
Display Key		: 0x81, 4, 0x81, 0x00, \ ; "OEM2"
The Green Button	: 0x0D, 4, 0x0D, 0x00, \ ; "Green Start Button"
Channel UP		: 0x12, 3, 0x9C, 0x00, \ ; "Channel Up"
Stop			: 0x19, 3, 0xB7, 0x00, \ ; "Stop"
Rewind			: 0x15, 3, 0xB4, 0x00, \ ; "Rewind"
Play/Pause		: 0x6E, 3, 0xCD, 0x00, \ ; Play/pause
Fast Forward		: 0x14, 3, 0xB3, 0x00, \ ; "Fast Forward"
Channel Down		: 0x13, 3, 0x9D, 0x00, \ ; "Channel Down"
Previous		: 0x1B, 3, 0xB6, 0x00, \ ; "Backward(Replay)"
UP			: 0x1E, 1, 0x00, 0x52, \ ; "Up"
Next			: 0x1A, 3, 0xB5, 0x00, \ ; "Forward(Skip)"
Left			: 0x20, 1, 0x00, 0x50, \ ; "Left"
OK			: 0x0B, 1, 0x00, 0x28, \ ; "Enter"
Right			: 0x21, 1, 0x00, 0x4F, \ ; "Right"
Back			: 0x23, 3, 0x24, 0x02, \ ; "Back"
Down			: 0x1F, 1, 0x00, 0x51, \ ; "Down"
Info			: 0x0F, 3, 0x09, 0x02, \ ; "More"
Volume Down		: 0x11, 3, 0xEA, 0x00, \ ; "Volume Down"
Volume Mute		: 0x0E, 3, 0xE2, 0x00, \ ; "Mute"
Volume Up		: 0x10, 3, 0xE9, 0x00, \ ; "Volume Up"

Now these are not in this order in the registry , but it is the order of the remote from top left to bottom right. This is the remote :



So the very beginning of the registry file is 02,0f,04,0f,54,4a The only part you might need to change is 4A , which represents the number of entries following it. if you remove an entry you change it to 49 if you add one you change it to 4B (hexadecimal) .

The first entry is : 1e,01,00,52,
and the second is : 20,01,00,50

1e of first entry and 20 of second entry represent the ir code of the button you press, the 01 represents that the following is a keyboard scan code. 00,52 and 00,50 is the scan code for "Up" and "Left" respectively.

You should never alter the first number since it is the code associated with the buttons on your remote, and unless you have extra buttons that don't do anything, you shouldn't ever have to insert any new ir code. The second number tells what type of key you want to use. 01 is for keyboard keys. 02 is for system keys (power off, standby, etc) 03 is for media keys and 04 is for extra keys (dvd, quickplay, green button). Now , so far i only have a list of the keyboard scan codes, i've been searching for more info on the scan codes for 02 , 03 and 04 but to no avail so far. I only found a few keys inside the oemXX.inf files. For instance the display key use to toggle display, with this driver it doesn't, and i would like find what scan code toggles the display, but it doesn't matter since i remapped it to something else. I noticed there are twice the same entry in the table for the display key, not sure why but i deleted the second and changed the report count (4A to 49).

Take a look at Appendix C: USB Keyboard/Keypad Page (0x07) from this microsoft document : http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/1/161ba512-40e2-4cc9-843a-923143f3456c/scancode.doc to find the complete list of USB keyboard scan codes , used in the table.

On a side note, i tried the IDT drivers , but the same problem happened as with the drivers that muchas had first posted. After the installation, it says there was a problem installing hardware, then when i reboot past the welcome screen the laptop will reboot on its own again. I have been having that problem once in a while when i just boot my laptop after a while , it tends to reboot past the welcome screen, anyone else suffering this? It seems to me if i recall right , whenever i format, right after i install the audio drivers the boot process is so slow. I'm not 100% sure it was audio , but i know there was a device that slowed down my boot process a lot the moment i installed it.

Now , if i can just get my 360 mce remote to be recognized (it is recognized before i ever install drivers to the ene cir, but the moment i install any version of the drivers (xp, vista) i lose compatibility with that remote. I tried the CodeSetEnum entry in the registry like i saw in other posts , but that entire string doesn't even exist anymore with the 2.7 drivers. I haven't hunted down the registry much with the new drivers , hopefully there is a mod i can add to get the 360 remote to work again (it has many more buttons i could reassign)

Thanks dannyres for the drivers, we now have a perfect driver, fully customizable

Anyone has an alternative to hp mobile data protection? It doesn't support my hard drive and is really the last thing not working on this laptop, not that i would use it .. but im curious what are your options on that?

 

Roamin, this is rather technical
So, if i have the same remote as you, what do i have to do? I have not tested every keys but after installing the "dannyres" version, the most important keys are all working eg. stop/pause/play etc.

 

To update on the sSATA problem i posted earlier, I changed to another eSATA enclosure but the BIOS could not detect it. However, Vista is able to see the eSATA harddisk after bootup.
Does it mean that the DV5t does not allow booting up from eSATA HDD?

Aim: To use the eSATA for my WinXP and internal HDD for Vista.

 

I dont have e-sata drives, but we just got drives at work , i will give it a try in a few days.

If anyone is having problems with remapping , just post and i will help.

 

Dear all
i have Hp dv5t-1000 (Pavilion DV5-1130us)
i'm try to install windows xp on this lap but i can't
i'm allways get a blue secreen while i install my windows xp
i'm batch the sata driver on my cd with nlite software
but allways get the same erro the blue sereen in first phase of windows xp install !!!!!!
does anyone allready install windows xp in the version of HP lap
plz i need your help .............

 

Awesome work Roamin. About your reboots, I'm wondering if you're blue screening. By default windows will automatically reboot when it blue screens, which is poor design since you can't read the BSOD and obtain useful debug info. Anyways, goto control panel, system, advanced tab, startup and recovery settings button, untick the auto restart option. If this is what is happening, the info on the BSDO might have you identify what's wrong.

Going to add your post about remapping the remote keys to post 1 also.

Edit: also, I haven't tested this yet but just randomly ran across it, might be useful for some people. It appararently allows media controls in some non-supported programs like VLC and such.
http://www.paraboliclogic.com/programs/mk2mp/

 

You dont need such program to use media keys in VLC, you can just assign which ever key you want in preferences , hotkeys. And by default the keyboard media keys are already assigned to the logical corresponding key. I guess the program could be helpful for some,maybe if you use different players for different type of files, who knows. But i would suggest that if your favorite all-format player doesn't support media keys directly, and you plan to use the remote solely for that, then i would definitely remap the ircodetable to the corresponding keys of the player.

Good thought on the possible BSOD issue, i will turn off automatic restart and see if i get one next time it reboots. It has never rebooted at any other period then at around 90% of boot.

 

Awesome work!!!!! A link referring Roamin's post should be made in the OP!

 

you guys are awesome. i bought my laptop custom built from hp's site. and it arrived jan 20th but before i purchased it I was lucky to find this article, while searching to see if the laptop was compatible with windows xp. you saved me probably 3 months of work or more.

everything installed beautifully, my dimmer worked without updating bios or the .net framework. really only problem i had, I do not have a wireless router. and the ethernet card or the wireless card was not working with the drivers from the cd. until you update the driver and search online. so I had to use someones wireless usb card and take a drive out and find me a hotspot. and everything was cool then. theres only one thing in my device manager and it says unknown device. is it that remote control? i see you added those drivers, going to do that right now.

I did not have any problems with the sound popping. the mute button was the only thing i saw that you guys mentioned. your fix worked great. like magic dont work then works.

I am kinda having a problem with multiplayer games however. call of duty world at war in perticular. its having errors connecting to the servers. im going to try downloading any latest updates from the service pack 3 update.

i really love this laptop though. i think its pretty awesome. i almost got a build it yourself kit. i was looking into a new gaming laptop. looked at dell looked here looked there. came across HP and it had about the best price out of all of them. and when i get it. i think it looked awesome. it matches my LG CU515 cingular phone. its almost like they was made for each other of how close they look. i bought some anti static indivigual cleaning cloths because it gets smudged really quickly. like if you breath on the thing. but i love it

thanks everyone for your work now im going to try dual booting it with ubuntu linux


EDIT: I installed the remote drivers you provided and she works. thats what the unknown device was. now the device manager says all clear. thanks again people. turning 2 or more months of work for me into 2 days. i added this forum to my links page on my website your my heros.

 

good to read of your good experiences

 

thx so much for everyone who contributed to this thread! made my work so much easier.. i would still be banging my head against the wall if it wasn't for this thread..

 

Found this a while ago on this forum:

to enable the middle click option (right click + left click) on their dv5t here is how to do it:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\Defaults\ -- create the key as a DWORD 'HasBothButtonFeature' and set the value to 1.
Log off and login again

Edit: does anyone know how to, if possible, remap the quickplay button next to the mute button to launch a custom program? I don't want to install quickplay to have to do this, if this is the only way.

 

Uninstall QuickPlay and Quick Launch Buttons. Then try MKey software. http://egames.narod.ru/enecir_mkey.rar

+ You may configure OSD.

 

Do you know if there is an English version of this software?

 

i have vista and i want to dual boot vista and xp to check if i can make xp work
if it does i will remove vista and reinstall xp nice and clean
so if i just insert my xp sp2 disc and install xp and then install all drivers one by one , can this be done
because my connection is very slow , and i don't think i can download and do the first steps of the guide
especially nlite thing , i don't know how to use that software honestly
any answers joshua ????

 

i have just recieved my dv5, and it is my first laptop so i am very careful with it

i have two questions

first, if i tried to install windows XP and many problems appeared can i recover it back as i recieved it?

second, what is the solution of the orange mute button, or at least the number of page in this thread?

thanks

 

burn off your recovery disks before you do anything. That way if things go wrong you can use them to return your computer to it's state out of the box.

 

Everything you need to know is in the very first post, for convenience. Mute button works correectly now, as does pretty much everything I think, except the hdd protection.

 

Could someone try out this for hard drive protection:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp41001-41500/sp41474.exe

Let me know how it goes

 

I tried your post dannyres and it doesn't support my hitachi HTS543225L9A3 hard drive, neither does hp mobile data protection. Worst even, i got even slower boot and touchpad/keyboard issues, maybe just a coincidence or the fact that i still had hp mobile data protection instaled.

 

i have tried dannyres's driver and it worked for me. i have a WD2500BEVS drive in my dv5. i installed it, rebooted and 3D DriveGuard indicated that its enabled and protected. i honestly dont know what the limitation is that allows/prevents 3D DriveGuard from enabling or disabling protection on a hard drive.

one thing you can try, although a pain, is a clean install of xp and the latest drivers available for your notebook. that might even fix your touchpad/keyboard issues. if that doesnt work for your 3D DriveGuard then you may need to just wait for a newer version that might support your system. i had tried 1 version older than the one dannyres has posted which was 1.10 B and it didnt work for me. dannyres's is 1.10 C which did the trick for my system.

 

The drive guard software won't install for me: Accelerometer hardware is not present or supported in this unit.

I have a 400Gb TOSHIBA MK4058GSX

 

The drive guard software won't install for me too.
Same error as what joshua reported.

Accelerometer hardware is not present or supported in this unit.

I have a Western Digital 500Gb WD5000BEVT.

As i have both Vista and XP installed, booting up in Vista shows that the HP mobile protection is enabled/installed in Device Manager. So, i suppose the drive itself is "supported".

But no luck when trying to install under XP.

 

interesting, i wonder what it is that wont allow you to install since obviously the HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor is in there and working in Vista. at the very least it should allow you to install it but then show that its disabled. i dont know if this it will make a difference but have any of you tried to extract the installer into a folder and manually try to install it? first loading the drivers via device manager then trying to install 3D DriveGuard?

 

Yeah, I think all dv5t drives are supported under vista. You can't install the driver under device manager as there is no "unknown device" listed for the acelerometer.

If you extract the contents you might be able to edit some ini and remove the vista restriction or whatever, but the fact is it tries to install ok, so it's not failing on an OS check. It's probably failing on the driver not being present. I dunno how you'd force install that. Perhaps just right click the inf and select install? But is the driver in that package or perhaps it's a seperate package?

 

just to make sure, HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor does show up in device manager under System devices right? if so, try to open it and update drivers with the inf in the extracted folder of the installer and then go from there.

 

No, there is no Mobile data sensor in the device manager. And no unknown devices either. As dannyres said, apparently it's an AHCI or whatever driver so doesn't show up in device manager until it's installed.

Edit: Manually installing the inf didn't appear to do anything, and I still couldn't install the software afterwards.

 

interesting. when i clean installed xp, the mobile data sensor did appear in my device manager under system devices. could maybe a bios update help at all?

 

Another possibility is that the BIOS is hiding it from XP... what BIOS version did you have installed dp64?

 

i have F.12 currently. keep in mind though guys that i have a dv5 not a dv5t. also, my dv5 is AMD based so it could be a platform difference/issue too.

there has got to be some way of getting it to work on the dv5t. ill keep my eye open for anything i come by on and post it.

 

The dv5 is a dv5t as far as I understand. I have a dv5, the "t" generally refers to any dv5 model that is intel based, "z" I think is amd. So my model is actually dv5-1133tx. Top right of my screen reads Pavillion dv5.

But yeah, it might be an AMD thing. They work better with the remote without any drivers, the Intel ones get nothing from the remote without drivers.

 

I tried some things for the hard drive protection but to no avail. I have bios F.11 , and looking at my exact model number on hp.com i find that bios F.22 is out?? I thought that only bios F.12 was out.

I will try bios F22

Edit: same thing for me with F22, doesn't work.

 

is your system an intel based dv5t? im trying to see if maybe it may be a platform issue that just wont work for some reason on the intel based dv5.

 

Amd based (Athlon X2) with ATI graphics (hd3200)

 

Can someone please tell me if eSATA drives work ok under XP? I don't care about being able to boot from them using the bios - I just want to plug it in under XP as external storage, instead of USB.

Does it work ok? And does it just work, or do I need to install drivers?

Thanks.

 

interesting. i would have expected that it would have worked with your system since its amd based. it must be a bios issue thats not reporting it to windows.

there is a way to mod the bios but id HIGHLY NOT recommend doing so if you dont know how to.

 

It might be by chance your drive is listed in the .cat file (I'm guessing) which (I'm guessing) contains "supported" drives. But not all of them. If he has a different drive it won't work. We need someone else with your same drive to confirm or deny it working.

 

im going to look into it to see what it is thats limiting the drivers/software to work even though the accelerometer is present in the notebooks. it would be nice if its just a driver thing since that can be modded to just add your drive to the list.

 

Joshua,
WinXP can see my eSATA drives.
