Introduction

For years, Compaq has remained committed to supporting our customer’s operating system

needs. As new operating systems and service packs are introduced, Compaq engineering teams

perform testing to verify compatibility on Compaq products. This allows our customers the pick

the operating system and service pack which best suits their computing environment.

Compaq is committed to maintaining stability and consistency across commercial product lines.

Since SP1 is not a required upgrade, Compaq recommends that each customer review the SP1

documentation and decide whether to deploy SP1 based on individual company needs. Compaq is

dedicated to providing customers who may choose to deploy SP1 with a smooth transition by

ensuring that SP1 is tested across a variety of configurations for the Evo notebook systems.

This white paper provides a list of tested products and, where applicable, known anomalies when

using SP1.

Known Anomalies

Roxio Easy CD Creator

Anomaly:

Roxio Easy CD Creator V5.30 B might hang during file copy.

Description:

After full format CD-RW/CD-R media under Direct CD, or insert formatted CD, then copy data

that is over 60mb, MP3, or AVI files to the formatted media. The process never finishes and copy

process will hang.

Systems Affected:

All Evo notebooks using Roxio Easy CD Creator V5.30 B or earlier

Resolution:

This issue is not seen after applying the SP update available on the Roxio website at

www.roxio.com.

Intervideo WinDVD

Anomaly:

WinDVD option is either removed or not functional from the autoplay menu after adjusting the

Default media player setting in the Set Program Access and Defaults interface.

Description:

Normally, when a movie is inserted into the DVD drive, an autoplay menu appears asking the

user to choose which player to use, such as Media Player, WinDVD, or other installed third party

media playback software (such as RealPlayer). Windows Media Player becomes the default

player if the default access is set to all Microsoft programs. Subsequently, the autoplay menu

appears and either the WinDVD option is no longer available or does not function as expected.

This issue also may occur with other third party media playback software.

Systems Affected:

All Evo notebooks using WinDVD or other third party media playback software

Resolution:

Open WinDVD, select Properties, go to the General tab, go to Player Settings and enable the

check box for Auto play. When a DVD movie is placed in the drive, the WinDVD option should

return and be functional.

click on the XPSP1.exe or from a command prompt type d:\XPSP1.exe where D:\

represents your CD-ROM drive.

If Setup prompts you to download or to save it to disk, click Run this program from its

current location, and then click OK.
