| HP MediaSmart consists of several components designed to enhance your user experience. MediaSmart SmartMenu enables users to switch between MediaSmart applications, such as DVD, music, pictures (photos), video, and TV. To use SmartMenu, users press the MediaSmart button (button labeled "M" that is located at the top of the keyboard area above the regular keyboard keys) to display the SmartMenu. MediaSmart DVD enables users to watch movies in DVD or Blu-Ray (BD) formats. MediaSmart Live TV MediaSmart Webcam is a webcam application that enables users to capture images and video from a web camera and apply visual effects to captured images and video. MediaSmart Music enables users with non-touch technology notebooks to manage, burn, and play music in different file formats, such as mp3, wma, wav, aac, and m4a. MediaSmart Video enables users with non-touch technology notebooks to play videos and movies in supported file formats (for example, mpg, mpeg, wmb, avi, and so forth). MediaSmart Photo enables users to manage, navigate, and view photos. MediaSmart DVD Menu Pack is an application that enables users to choose different menus when creating a DVD video using the HP MediaSmart Video or HP MediaSmart Photo Software.

HP Movie Store powered by RoxioNow is a digital entertainment service which offers access to an extensive library of premium video content.

HP Quick Launch Buttons I'll keep on each individual thread for now because it installs a driver. It seems that the newer models use a new version that is no longer officially compatible with the ones even from late last year. I've been reluctant to update to this new version in the driver threads due to the changes. Reply 3 : Popular HP Notebook Software You may want to add dm3-3xxx (even though it's only CTO right now, no retails model yet) to the list  Reply 4 : Popular HP Notebook Software Quote:
Although I'm usually up to snuff when keeping track of the notebook models, I sometimes will overlook new models and need to be made aware of them.Off-topic: Are you a member of the Neowin forums? I occasionally breeze through there and I think I saw one of your posts. (However, I'm not a member over there)  Reply 5 : Popular HP Notebook Software Kewl, I'm sure this will be a long thread... wanted to get my name at the top! Justin, I'm sure you intend to do this anyway.. but a running tally at the bottom of your post showing the most current updates is very helpful in staying current.... thanks I copied this from the other thread: Quote:
Reply 6 : Popular HP Notebook Software Strange, I just tried to install wireless assistant 4 and got an error stating " This computer does not support HP wireless assistant 4" (sp48832.exe) It doesn't matter if my wireless is activated or not, I still get the error.
