Delays with HP Tunes
When using HP Tunes, you may experience some
delays, or HP Tunes may not function properly.
These delays can occur because:
■ There is an audio CD in the drive, and HP
Tunes is attempting to connect to an Internet
database to find music information, such as
song titles.
■ There is a large collection of songs in your
music library.
■ Windows Media Player or another music
playback program is set as the default player.
See the following procedure.
Selecting a default audio player
If you have already set your default audio player to
Windows Media Player, you may experience a
delay when trying to open HP Tunes. To resolve this
issue:
1 Close Media Center, if open.
2 Double-click the iTunes shortcut
icon on the desktop.
3 When the iTunes default player
for audio files message opens,
place a check mark in the Do not show this
message again check box, and then click Yes
or No.
4 If you have not completed the iTunes Setup
Assistant wizard, follow the onscreen
instructions.
5 Open Media Center, and then open HP Tunes.

If you do not
complete these steps,
an error message
appears when HP
Tunes is launched,
which indicates that a
problem has occurred
in iTunes that is
preventing this
program from
running.
