windows xp on dv5t - all drivers installed

Serdel, thanks, that's interesting. Can you please tell me, when you do NOT have the HDMI cable connected to your laptop, are you still able to select HDMI audio from the control panel? I realise you won't get any sound, but just wondering if that option only appears when there is a cable connected. It's possible you need the cable connected at your PC and TV.

 

Helo.
Then HDMI audio option is available only when hdmi cabel is connected to tv and laptop.

Hey guys...I was reading this thread since I just bought a dv5t online and will give my current dv6500t to the wife! The first thing I want to do is install xp! I did that on my dv6500t too last year using the amazing guide made by mujjuman.

While reading I noticed that hp still didn't have the bioscrypt verisoft access manager for xp available. The only one they have available online for xp is the older sp35640 which is version 2.1.0.844A. I extracted the Verisoft access manager from the swsetup folder that came with my dv6500t (native Vista), and installed it in xp, and it worked fine. It is a much newer version than the one hp has on its website.

If anyone is interested in trying it out, I just uploaded it HERE. After downloading, extract and run ciam.exe. The version is 2.1.2.880.15. Let me know if it works. Also, is the mute button problem finally solved?

 

so you have to go into control panel and select "nvidia HDMI audio" when you have the HDMI plug connected in order to get audio.
thanks for the tip

 

Sid1, I will try your software. Re the mute issue; it's not really an issue. The mute button works fine, it simply doesn't change colour. So functionally it's fine; it's just a cosmetic issue.

It's just working fingerprint software and the IR Remote that needs to work now.

 

The software posted by Sid1 does not work for me with my fingerprint reader.

 

oh dang...sorry man was really hoping it would work. anyone else?

 

Post 1 updated to reflect recent improvements. Should be up to date now. Added: HDMI audio info, brightness fix, IDT audio driver info, misc other changes.

 

thats good thank u

Download this; it installs an XP ene CIR driver. Now some of the remote functions will work. Mute, vol up/down, fast forward, rewind, power off, skip forward, skip back, stop seem to work on both remotes. Play does not. It might simply be a case of editing the inf file to adjust some cir codes or something, if anyone knows anything about this. Perhaps they could be obtained from dv7t info; the remote seems to work on that model. I believe our remotes are the ene0100 type.

But at least it's some step forward.

 

thanks...better than nothing...

 

hallo to everybody, I'm the happy owner of one DV5-1060el notebook. I need to downgrade to windows XP for work. I was reading this tread and I found it very interesting. does your guide works also with my laptop?

 

Yeah, works on your laptop. I have dv5-1060ew and no problem after install xp, but latest install vista x64.Work better from vista x32
regards

 

thx for your reply, my intention is to have two OS, windows xp 32bit for work and vista ultimate 64bit for all other stuff.

 

hi, I have one problem, when I try to install XP on the laptop I got blue screen error. I tried different type of XP (in my faculty I have 3 different type of license) but the result is always the same where is the problem? I followed step by step the guide ... I can't understand what's happen

 

hmmm...interesting i'm still playing with a lot of the vista feature and haven't done a clean install yet...i'll definitely bookmark this if vista doesn't cut out. Thanks

 

did you remember to slipstream the SATA driver? you have to do that in order to install XP.

what is the bluescreen saying?

 

I got this message of stop:

STOP: 0x0000007b (0xF78D2524,0xC0000034,0X00000000,0X00000000)

I couldn't ready all of what was written on the blue screen.
Is it enough ?

 

Yes I slipstream the sata driver, otherwhise I got only the message of no hard disk found during the installation.

 

how are u slipstreaming this? can you just state the steps you used in order to rule out mistakes in slipstreaming?

use this SATA driver: (nevermind. dont use this)

extract the files and use nLite to slipstream one of the inf file. when you choose the inf folder, choose the one that has "ICH9M-E" inside of it

[EDIT]

actually before you do any of this, what chipset do you have? what processor do you have?

the newer processors have a different chipset and the older processors have a different chipset even if its the same model laptop.

 

mmm intresting. I used the f6flpy32.zip linked in the first page of this thread, and I selected the ICH9M-E driver, then I followed the instruction of nLite.
I tried also two way. First of all slipstream firstly the sp3 and then the driver, the second time I changed the order of the operation I did, but the result was always the same.

 

ok my laptop has T9400 processor and the chipset should be PM45 and southbrige is ICH9-M the last two information were taken from CPU-z

 

you are correct.
dont use the file i posted above
use this one instead
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...&OSFullName=Windows* XP Professional&lang=eng

extract the contents to a folder called "SATA" on teh desktop.
in nLite, go to the part where it lets you slipstream drivers
in nLite, choose "multiple driver folder" and choose teh "SATA" folder
choose "ICH9M-E/M" or something along those lines

 

what's the difference between the version I used and this one ?
thx a lot for the support.

 

no idea honestly. it may even be the same file. but i updated my post above. took a while to update (server slow?)

 

ok thx I'm making a new version of my XP disck ... hopefully today after lunch I'll give you good news

 

i hope so too. good thing CD-Rs are so cheap now

 

yes very chip but with a very low quality in the past we can get very good cd. Now if you want one you have to buy a rewritable one. Sometimes I use DVD to have the best quality from the disk

 

I can get only the sata driver about ICH9-m ? or all ?

 

for those who cannot get the IR remote working... try installing this:
http://www.soft32.com/download_176023.html

hopefully this will work.

 

choose the "multiple driver folder" option and select the folder where you extracted the files.
then select the "ICH9M-E/M" and click OK

 

windows is now installed now it's time to find all the driver

 

hallo I have one more question ... which is the correct driver for my note ?

 

problem solved, its the same for vista and X64 OS ... I founded in the driver's folder of my laptop

 

I have a little problem with this device, the installation is ok, but if I look to device manage the CIR has a yellow excalmation point ...

Amazing thread guys.

but I have a problem here.

I have hp dv5-1060ee .

I went through the steps untill finihing the xp installation.

but now i get an error message at boot time "error loading operating system".

what do you think is the problem ?

 

forget to say that i had the vista installed. then I shrinked the hard disk to install xp.

 

same thing happened to me....after the xp install restarts.....i got this message....
so i formatted the vista partition via xp cd....installed xp again.....worked

 

what do you mean "shrinked the hard disk"

 

but what if I want to keep the vista as well.?

 

I used the DISKPART to shrink the Windows Vista partition on the hard disk and create enough space for an installation of XP

 

ohhhhhh thanks lol.

 

I reinstalled xp again but still the same problem. any ideas ?

 

Hi, I've tested HDMI using a friends TV. I currently have the swsetup IDT & swsetup HDMI drivers installed. HDMI appears as an option only when the HDMI cable is plugged in as confirmed by Serdel above.

Serdel, can you please tell me what IDT and HDMI driver you are using? Further, can you please answer this:

When I select HDMI audio, music plays fine for example, in Winamp. When I am NOT playing music however, other sounds like the windows sounds do NOT play, regardless of whether winamp is loaded or not (note the windows sounds continue to play for about 5 secs after you press stop - I guess the audio channel is still in the process of being "closed" at this point). I must be playing music to hear other sound effects. It's like Winamp opens the HDMI audio channel and then all sound can pass through it, otherwise the standard windows (and possibly other) sounds cannot use this source. Windows meda player works in the same fashing. Do you experience this, or can you play windows sounds play all the time?

Seems like the driver is not 100% effective under XP. Hoping you are running a different driver or such that works. Thanks

 

Hi!

I would like to get a dv5t with a BLU RAY drive in the future.
Will I be able to use the BD drive when running Win XP? Could someone with that configuration confirm this?

Also, does the drive have region protection and can it be disabled?

Thanks for the help!
