Ben asks:
So I did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my HP DV7 4070us to get rid of the bloatware that came with the system. It did have Quick Web installed however, after I did the install it won’t come back up.
I backed up the folder, but it didn’t contain any installation files. So, I downloaded sp47192.exe and it did create a partition but it never starts. Inside the OS I only get the Quick Web help files, but nothing else, no GUI, no interface into Quick Web.
I know that it won’t start Quic Web inside of Windows, but I used to be able to enable/disable QuickWeb from within Windows 7. I enabled QuickWeb in my BIOS as well. Nada. Any ideas?

July 15, 2010Ben,
I have a HP netbook and did several hard drive formats and clean installations of Windows 7, followed by a re-installation of Quick Web. It never created a new partition. Could you please explain what you mean with that?
Does Quick Web appear in your installed software? Did you try to remove it and install it again? Maybe something went wrong the first time.
I never had any issues with installing Quick Web on this one laptop, so I’m afraid those are all the suggestions I have.
Just one more thought. When you install Quick Web you need to choose which partition you want to install it on. Did you choose your system partition and is your system partition on C? Maybe it gets confused with the drive letters when C isn’t the system partition.
Please let us know in case you were able to solve the issue. Thank you!
July 19, 2010I installed in my Desktop HP PC , but i could not see QuickWeb…..
November 14, 2010Hi Tina. I’v bought a new Hp Probook 4520s notebook pc but i am not able to use either QuickWeb or QuickLook. I need your help to solve the issue. I have checked all the BIOS settings and they are as per instructions. i also downloaded different versions of QuickWeb from Hp website and successfully installed but nothing helps to solve the issue. when ever i press the key for QuickWeb i get an error as “selected application is corrupted or missing. Error 501″ Help me please as I’v got sick of searching the solution
May 12, 2011Bhanie,
It sounds like you did everything right, but I don’t know your hardware or the differences between QuickWeb versions.
Did you enable QuickWeb after installing it in Windows?
One thing though, what is the QuickWeb button you are talking about?
Doesn’t QuickWeb start automatically (before Windows) when you reboot your computer?
If you are not able to figure it out, I recommend that you contact HP customer support. They should be able to solve this issue with you or tell you which version of QuickWeb to use and what settings to make exactly.
May 13, 2011Tina,
May 14, 2011I got it done by myself
I had partitioned my HDD when I bought my probook and it changed the HDD type form BASIC to DYNAMIC. I read it somewhere that HP Quick features don’t work when HDD is DYNAMIC. What I actually did to solve this problem is conversion of HDD from DYNAMIC to BASIC again. To do this, I removed the new partitions and converted my HDD to BASIC using EASEUS PARTITION MASTER HOME EDITION V8.01 and re-allocated the unused HDD into C:
Now QuickWeb is working like a charm. Thumbs up. Sorry for my bad English. Thanks
Thank you very much for sharing your solution, Bhanie! I will have to keep that in mind.
May 14, 2011You need to ensure that quick web is enabled in the system bios. You can access the system bios by pressing the F10 key while the system is booting.

October 20, 2011I have a problem. I have a HP pavilion g6 with quickweb but i dont know how to enable Quickweb in BIOS. I cant find an option to enable it.

August 5, 2010My situation is almost the same. I now only have the Windows 7 bootloader partition and Windows 7 partition. When launching the qQuickweb installation, it asksme on wich partition I want to do my install, like said here. Do I have to choose the partition C:? It seems strange to me to install another system on the Windows partition. What about HP_TOOLS?
Thank you in advance!
I’m on HP mini 210-1083ca.
You should install it on C: if that is your system partition. That’s what I did and it always worked. Due to some other issues with my HP mini I ended up installing QuickWeb, which always worked without a flaw, at least three times, once on a new hard drive.
August 5, 2010Joyeuxcroissant
August 5, 2010Yess! It worked like a charm! The solution is always simple. Thanks Tina!
Glad it helped!
August 5, 2010“You should install it on C:”
August 30, 2010Where at installation process can you change drive letter?
I had also problems with installingenabling HP quickweb. It got stuck with creating the partition- it never installed quickweb
Here is how it functioned for me (after a lot of tries and errors)
1. Enable Quickweb in BIOS (see somewhere else for this)
2. Do not have an extra partition along your system partition (where Windows is installed).
3. Create a new partition, with FAT32. Not more than 10 GB. I named it HP_tools, just in case
4. download the latest Quickweb files from HP
5. Extract them in the new partition HP_TOOLS
6. run setup (it never questioned me where to install). it installed in HP_tools
7. restart your pc
8. I activate my quickweb through a button (I have HP 4530s)
Hope it works for some of you

September 21, 2010I’m having this exact same problem, and like Joyeuxcroissant, I don’t get any chance to change the drive letter.
Joyeuxcroissant was able to fix it. What do you mean you cannot change the drive letter? During installation? As long as you install on the system drive / partition it should work. Quick Web also has to be enabled in the BIOS.

October 11, 2010Tina plz help me..I have a HP Pavillion DV7Z and I did a clean installations of Windows 7 32bits I downloaded HPQUICKWEB, When launching the Quickweb installation everything going fine even it created the partition but the program not working..I dont know why…I have investigated by internet and nothing..HP said that the program working with the original system..I tried everything I Hope you can tell me the solution
You have to enable QuickWeb in the BIOS. Enter BIOS on bootup and see whether you can find an option to enable QuickWeb. Please report back whether or not you could get it to work. Thanks!
October 11, 2010When i bought my computer that option was there. Now i cant see the quickweb option in BIOS. Please Help!! I really enjoyed quick web!
October 29, 2010I have the same problem. I cant find quickweb option in BIOS

March 6, 2012can u plz help me to install hp quickweb on touchsmart tm2-2108tx, i repartitioned the drive and installed win7 but not able to install hp quick web
March 14, 2012Jubiladofuture
October 11, 2010Hi again and thanks for responding..In the Bios the QuickWeb is enable all options and not working, I instaled all versions Quickweb from HP (sp46601, sp46834, sp47192, quickweb_mini210, sp44775) and still nothing..and windows also see the options and they are enable..what do u think?
Re-reading your first question I wonder what you mean by “even it created the parition”? You should install QuickWeb on your system partition, not on a separate one. It can only boot if it’s on the same partition as Windows 7.
October 11, 2010Jubiladofuture
October 11, 2010Hi..”even it created the partition” it means that the software create the partition if u don’t have it, if u choose not then it cancels installation..I tried again to install QuickWeb on my system partition, not on a separate one and it didn’t work, so I create a partition and later install the software on the same partition as windows 7 and not working..let me ask u something..do u have the software o the page for downloading maybe If I install the same software that u used, I can do it work..thanks for your patience
I downloaded it directly from HP. I have a HP laptop, it came with Windows 7 Starter. I formatted the hard drive, installed Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, then installed QuickWeb downloaded from the HP website.
I have no idea what your problem could be. If the system partition is large enough for QuickWeb and if QuickWeb installed properly and is enabled in the BIOS, it should work. Don’t know why it would want to create a separate partition for you.
October 11, 2010Jubiladofuture
October 11, 2010well thanks anyway..maybe tell me the model of your laptop for downloading the file from hp..if it works I´ll write immediately..if it doesn´t work..well I Leave it exactly how it is..other thing when I Installed quickweb and it finish I restart my laptop..when laptop begins not charging the OS immediately but nothing happens just black screen, so I have to restart, press esc and choose boot from hard disk..just telling u in case..
I mean there is something with partitions rules – HP Probook with win7 preinstalled, with quickweb full functionality – there are 4 partitions on HDD – c, hp quickweb, hp tools, system(recovery), all works fine. After we decide to create new partition for data and resize partition C – we must all partition assign to dynamic. After that HP quickweb doesnt work. When we tryed to reinstall HP Quickweb, we have no chance to change drive letter. Or via system tools or manually, there is no option to choose/change drive letter, partition inastalation. Conclusion – or to recreate c partition as it was without D partition and revert it back from dynamic, nor delete partition HP quickweb and install Quickweb on C partition.
August 25, 2011That s what I know about
Hello, I was wondering if you could give me information about your “Quickweb” partition. My computer didn’t come with it pre-installed, but it should have. If I can recreate the partition correctly, Quickweb should install without any trouble. (Size, Primary or not, Formatting, etc. You can find this out by downloading EaseUS Partition manager.) Thanks!

October 26, 2010hi Tina.., i got a HP Pavilion DV6-3013cl .., i formated my hard drive.., installed windows 7 ultimate 32bit.., and now i have 4 partitions plus a partition which was not formated called : system reserved …, after that i tried to install HP QuickWeb .., it said that it need to create a HP_TOOLS partition.., so i clicked ok.., then it said “you have already four partitions.., process is aborting”
can u help me?
To be honest, I have no idea what is going on there. It sounds like you cannot create more than four partitions, but that doesn’t make sense. Anyways, did you try to merge two partitions, so that you only have three? That’s pretty easy to do in Windows 7.
October 27, 2010Samiryadav
October 28, 2010well same problem with me also……i formatted the whole drive,made 4 partitions 100gb ,200gb,150,150
and a 2 gb partition created by Hp system diagonistic software.i installed win 7 ultimate on 100gb partition.
when i try to install HP Quick Web,it installs on it automatically installs on Hp_tools (2gb) partition created by hp system diagonistic.it do not asks for location before installing.
if someone finds solution please do post here
Tina
October 28, 2010Folks, HP has a very easy to use and free online support system. Since I really don’t have a solution (it just worked for me) I suggest that you talk to an expert.
Try this: http://welcome.hp.com/country/ca/en/contact/chat_1.html
Please adjust your country / language and select ‘Software’ from the list of supported products to proceed.

January 3, 2011hey i just got a new hp mini 210 with quick web but i removed a lot of pre installed programs along with quick web not knowing what it was. does anyone know where i can download it. thanks
Milesc,
you can download it from HP. Just go to the website, select your country, then click on support & drivers, in the form click that you want to download drivers and software, enter your product details, operating system etc. and you should end up with a list of drivers and software for your HP Mini. Worked for me.
Let us know whether it works for you. Good luck!
January 3, 2011Hi Tina..
I’m a bit frustrated right now.. how come my HP QuickWeb installer doesn’t give me choice to install on other partition? whenever I run the installer (SP47192) it always ended with “Cannot find target partition, installation is aborted.”.. Can you please.. please.. please.. tell me how to change the target to become C:?
January 5, 2011Jamie,
I’m afraid I really, really don’t know. This is how it worked for me, that’s all I can say. Right now, I cannot try it again.
You should get in touch with HP support. It’s their software and hopefully hardware, so they should be able to sort it out for you.
Sorry!
January 5, 2011hello Tina please help me. i have HP QuickWeb preinstalled in my laptop (HP Pavilion) and it was working before i had problem with my laptop and fixed it in HP Service Center in my city. now everytime i open HP QuickWeb configuration tool to enable the HP QuickWeb a window will open and say ‘GetCMOSinfo returns FALSE’ (before i fixed my laptop it wasn’t there). do you know how to fix it Tina? thankyou
January 26, 2011Ichal,
I would call the HP service center and ask them what they did to the computer that could have caused this problem. I have no idea what this error message means.
My guess is that they disabled QuickWeb in the BIOS, that’s what ‘CMOS’ hints to. Maybe they made a BIOS update or reset the BIOS when they repaired your laptop.
Reboot the computer, click whatever key is necessary to load the BIOS (e.g. F2 or ESC) and check the settings there.
If you find a way to fix it, let us know how you did it. Thank you in advance!!!
January 26, 2011Hi Tina,
There are 2 thinsg going on here. One is the QuickWeb software, and the other a later version called Instant Web. These 2 versions are the reason why there is so much confusion.
The QW does not allow you to install on anything other than a separate, primary, FAT32 partition called HP_TOOLS. It does not have a configuration tool either.
The IW is more flexible. It allows installation on any drive you want, (including C) any format. It has a configuration tool (in start menu shortcuts and in Control Panel).
However, BOTH have one issue : They need to be installed BEFORE reinstalling windows. This seems to be because they dont have a way of adding an entry into the Boot Loader of Windows 7. Without this entry, it will not come into play even if its nicely installed, regardless of what you do to the BIOS, SysEdit, AutoExec or anything else.
(I tried adding it in manually using EasyBCD, but it doesnt work either. So dont bother trying.)
Hope this clears the air somewhat, and stands as a record of what works and does not. Cheers.
April 26, 2012Okay, Like many of you, I decided to wipe my system to upgrade from XP to Seven and in the process I lost quickweb and like many of you, I racked my brain trying to find the right download for my Mini 210 and to make a short story long….
I installed at least 4 different versions of the quickweb software and kept getting nowhere, I kept seeing the help files in the ‘Programs’ menu and rebooted and even made sure bios had it enabled….
I tried every fix in the book and none of them worked, I repartitioned and reinstalled windows and linux and everything else I could think of in an attempt to resolve this issue.
Finally I stumbled onto this one link and Bada Bing! I’m back in business…. so needless to say I came back here to post this fix in hopes that it will save someone else a lot of time and heartache.
just go here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P726HDYK and download this file (approx 500MB) then unpack and run setup and BADA BING!
Smoove
February 21, 2011I managed to download and install this quickweb from the link suggested by “Smoove”. Able to select the drive to install, which I selected C: as suggested. However quickweb couldn’t start, it just hanged, with blank screen, after reboot. My notebook is HP Mini 110-3100 series running Windows 7 Home Premium.

January 8, 2011My QW machine is an hp 110-3018 and comes from the factory with a SYSTEM, an HP-TOOLS, a RECOVERY and! a windoze 7 partitons (all primary). The boot and system partitions are NOT one and the same! as has been customary. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Boot_Record and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Boot_Record.
I suspect the same geography is required for your drives and that the drive does not have 4 partitions. Often fresh installs of OS’s are greedy and consume as much drive space in as few partitions as possible. The repair of a system (complete QW, TOOLS, W7) should account for this but unfortunately there is no COMPLETE remedial manufacturer restoration.
The fact both fixmbr and fixboot are sometimes needed to modify 2 partitions for W7 shows this schizo volume partitioning that splits up a drive.
The following is at this point hypothetical, and I have a very pragmatic need for determining exactly where the QW iamge is but … : The SYSTEM volume is not visible but i suspect holds a chaining loader with a resident QW image. If the QW is not run and bypassed then the SYSTEM partition boot chains to the W7 resident partition and completes loading W7.
I need to patch QW as it is missing drivers (BT, external video, scrolling mouse pad, …) and it’s FF browser is crippled etc.

March 29, 2011Hi.
I’ve HP 2540p with two keys dedicated to execute Quicklook and Quickweb.
WinXP was installed into the first partition and HP software was installed into the second partition (labelled HP_TOOLS).
After I managed hard disk, I’d these partions:
partition 1 (primary) win XP
partition 2 (primary) win 7
partition 3 (logical) Ubuntu 10.10
partition 4 (logical) Ubuntu 10.10 temp
partition 5 (primary) “HP_TOOLS”.
After upgrade quickweb from internet (installed from winXP), in that position, Quickweb didn’t run. So I moved its partition between partition 1 and 2. Now it is ok.
Now I want to customize Quickweb to connect WWAN by other profiles that system haven’t.
Max
Max,
I’m not sure what you mean with your last sentence. Which other profiles? What is WWAN?

I would recommend to just try those you can find. It won’t break anything, it might just not work. Did you try to search Google for QuickWeb AND “your computer model”? That could give you a hint. Good luck!

September 20, 2011hey Guys
I had the same problem but I think I found something
I’m installing Quickweb on HP_TOOLS partition so:
1- if your partition is NTFS then you’ve to format it as FAT32
2- if your partition is Logical convert it to Primary
Those steps can be done by “EASEUS Partition Master” it’s a free software
Befor doing that I had the ugly error of “501″
but now I could reach the logo of “HP Quickweb”
it keeps showing the logo for long time and I get no respond
but I think it’s something belonging to my laptop
if you may try, you could reach a better result and maybe it’ll work perfect for you
greetings
Thanks for sharing your solution!

I’m afraid I have no experience with this device. All my knowledge about Quick Web is inside this thread, either posted by myself or others. All I could do is repeat that to you, but you could just read it yourself.
If none of this helps you to enable it, feel free to ask a new question. Mention what you tried and that or better yet why it didn’t work. You will receive responses within hours.
