windows xp on dv5t - all drivers installed

[monroe0]

I likewise am having issues with eSATA on XP. LACIE enclosure with a Seagate 320GB SATA drive works fine off my desktop motherboard SATA port, but not on the dv5t. Not visible in BIOS or through the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

Has anyone been successful with the eSATA on the dv5t, either under vista or XP? Or am I doing something incorrectly.

Just got me eSATA cable today, connected to a 320gb Seagate in a rocketfish eSATA enclosure. It works. I think the previous problem was trying to connect to a SATA, not eSATA, external device.

I have not checked to see if the drive is accessible from the bios yet.

rishi:

Here is what my registry looks like and works fine :







Is it possible for you to take a screenshot (alt+print screen , then ctrl-v in paint) of your registry and upload it here?

What could be interfering is other software. Do you have intellitype or any other keyboard software installed?

The registry keys are case sensitive, that could also be a problem.

I am in the midst of re-writing the post for remapping the remote, but meanwhile i found a while back ago the correct scan code to directly assign a media key to your remote.

The following file shows the correct scan codes for media keys :

Next to "MEDIA SELECT" in the HID USAGE ID column is 0183 . You must change the ircode to XX 03 83 01 where XX is the actual ircode of the remote's button. XX is 80 for the quickplay button. This avoids having to use sharpkeys to launch an app with the remote.

Thanks, Roamin for ur intrest and respone.I have attached a pic of my registry untouched means when i didnt change any settings in it.It has 5 folders and in 18th folder it was by default calc.exe.I tried to change it through shaprkeys to "MyComputer" and checked that this 18th folder gets change to point "MyComputer" but it was showing still calc.exe and my Quickplay is opening "MyComputer" then i tried to give my path in shellExexute value to see that if it works but it failed also so probably it is modifying path anywhere else.

You r doing a great work of remapping remote buttons but i am not much bothered about my remote working cause on 1st day i lost my remote and there is no chance to getting a spare one from hp.

I hope this information will be sufficient. Can u plz give me solution that how can find my path in registry to change that Quickplay button to my path whether it effects my remote keys HID or not cause i dont have a remote now.

Thanks

rishi,

your instructions are somewhat unclear, and you didn't understand properly what needs to be done. You use sharpkeys to change which key is assigned to the quickplay button (F-Lock Undo). In your case , you didn't change it to the calculator key , but the my computer key. This makes sense that it now opens My computer. In my post , when i say to change to App: Calculator , then that was what you were supposed to change it to , if you wanted to modify the value in 18. The media key App: My Computer is not 18 , but it is 17.

Simply put, each "App:" key , have a different Appkey ID. Calculator is 18 , my computer is 17 , Media Select is 16, Mail is 15 , etc.

You can find a list of appkey id here :
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...076bdbd86f12b1

When you use sharpkeys , it does not modify the appkey registry settings , but rather it modifies this key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout

Originally , this key doesn't exist in windows , and your keyboard is normal layout. You create the key to remap the keyboard to another key, but this has nothing to do with changing the program launched by the key. A lot more info on this registry key can be found by google, but you don't really need to care about this key , since thats what sharpkeys does for us.

So, once you have modified the keyboard layout with sharpkeys , like you did, you must manually modifiy the appkey. In your specific case you remapped to My computer, so , you need to change the data in appkey\17.

In my case the appkey 17 has "ShellExecute" "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"

Should be changed to "ShellExecute" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"

Hope this helps.
