HP ProtectSmart

May 6, 2009

Did any one manage to get HP ProtectSmart working in Windows 7 x64?

I installed Win 7 x64 on HP Pavilion dv7 1183cl. everything is fine. I had to install drivers for memory card reader manually after the action center told me to download the driver.

The only one Windows could not figure out was the ProtectSmart sensor & QuickLaunch button. After I installed the ProtectSmart driver from HP site, the device manager is happy but the ProtectSmart application says that my hard drives are not supported. I guess the driver was not happy.

QuickLaunch button works but I did not install the QuickPlay. Its a load of crap anyway, given I cannot change quickplay button to launch something else, like media center, i am nto too worried about it.

But I love to get protect smart working again if I can,

Also, I had to install the latest audio (IDT) application & driver even though Windows was able to play sounds normally without it. I also installed HP Wireless utility to enable bluetooth.
