Popular HP Notebook Software

I own a HP 2560P and to have the brightness keys working in W7, I had to install the "HP Hotkey Support" thing. BTW it also installs an OSD i don't want and even installing only the driver without the software (via device manager manually .inf), the keys don't work. Are there any alternatives instead of this softpaq?

Thanks

You can try to install the HP Quick Launch Buttons driver using the Windows Update package below. There is no OSD software in this package to my knowledge. Please let us know if this solves your problem.

Version: 7.0.1.1

You were half right! The software has the OSD, btw it also has a settings menu where you can "hide" it
Better than having no choice At least for now no more annoying popups :P

Thanks!

Check the appropriate driver thread - I have reposted the DigitalPersona software releases (version 5.2.0.205 for 32-bit systems and version 5.1.0.175 for 64-bit systems).

SP53210 (version 5.2.0.205 for 64-bit systems) is no longer available at NBR or on HP's website because of this issue (which I have experienced) - HP Notebook PCs - Cannot Logon to Windows with SimplePass Fingerprint Reader - c03061709 - HP Business Support Center

Hello Justin

The link for the HP On-Screen Display Utility is broken. I get Windows Explorer is unable to display this page.
I get the same error with FireFox.

The file number is sp55152

Does anyone know where to get the latest CoolSense software?

I've got sp52814 which claims to be version 2.00, however even after installing it my system is still showing that CoolSense is at version 1.0.1.4.

I've also seen some references on Google searches to a version 2.1, but I can't find a download for that anywhere.

CoolSense also doesnt seem to be listed anywhere in the "official drivers" threads on here.

Thanks, chootmarani.

I tried to install the CoolSense 2.1 sp54610 but I received the error:

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

I noticed on the release notes for sp54610 that the dv6 series was not listed under the supported models. Perhaps this is why it didn't work.

The older CoolSense 2.00 sp52814 package just shows "N/A" for the supported models, and while it does install without any errors on my dv6-6180us, it doesnt actually update the CoolSense app, which remains unchanged at 1.0.1.4.


Anyone have any ideas how to get the latest CoolSense on a dv6-6100 Series? I might end up opening another topic in a more appropriate area of the forums if no one in this thread has any ideas, but it seemed related to the "popular notebook software" discussion.
