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.

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.
