Desperate: Driver for Creative Zen 2

I got my creative zen (model id=dap-hd004) from friends, it so cool. But i have problem conecting it to my computer, the version is .00.06. My friend told me the the version is too old and needed to be updated. But how?
I even could not conect it to my computer, because i got it without any software included. Just the player, data cable and the charger.
Wish some one could tell how to get the driver to upload songs and update the firmware version.
I found some drivers but the version was not the same with my player, and it always says that i must conect the player to my conected player. Help me please.......

Are you referring to the model Zen 20 Gb where the surface look like a big size Zen Micro? If it is, I think there are no firmware upgrade for this model. Even if you go creative website, the instruction on the page say the download firmware is the same version as the one that come pre-loaded in the player when you first open up the box.
Not all models have firmware upgrades. So for this model I guess it is pretty stable so there are no upgrade? Or there are not enuff customers using this model? :smileytongue:

Windows 7 64 bit driver for the Zen Vision M?

- Where EXACTLY can I find the Windows 7 64-bit driver for the Zen Vision M? My new computer came with it installed in Windows Media Player 2, but the driver became corrupt. I can't seem to find that driver on the Creative or Microsoft download websites. Please Help!

The driver is nati've to Windows. Creative does not write the MTP driver. I would suggest re-install WMP2 or contact Microsoft for advice if it is corrupt. As for software to use the player on a 64 Win 7system? there is nothing for the Vision M. You may want to read this page? http://support.creative.com/KB/showarticle.aspx?sid=605&h=3

Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

Driver for Creative graphics blaster 3D CLGD5464 pci vga card

Can anyone tell me from where to find the driver for Creative graphics blaster 3D CLGD 5464 pci vga card. The driver in Solaris8 is for CLGD 5465 which is not compatible with my card. The solaris detects my card as CLGD 5465 but it doesent work. Can anyone tell me what should I do about it?
thanks, Kashif ([email protected])

If it is not supported by the Xserver under Solaris you may find you can get it to work by installing XFree86 (www.xfree86.org), there are compiled binaries for Solaris Intel that will make the transition easier (personally I found the 3.3.5 version works well). First check at www.xfree86.org if your videa-card IS supported under XFree though. There are some tweaks you need to add to get it all to work in the Solaris x86 FAQ. Since you probably have to do all of this in non-gui its not easy but can be done.

Driver for Creative EMU10K1 SB Live! Audio Proces

Hi!
I'm looking for a driver for Creative EMU0K SB Li've! Audio Processor but can't find it!
Please can somebody help me? Many thanks!

Hi
Two ways to find the type number.
What Operating system are you using?
Open your PC case and look the serial number of your sound card.
#2
Run System Information tool and see from Components/Multimedia/Sound device what
PNP device ID says.
Fill this (change x with numbers) with your numbers
DEV_xxxx&SUBSYS_xxxxxxxx.
I can solve then the type.
You can download the full (I think) Li've! driver package from : check your PM.

Where is the driver for the Zen Creative 4GB mp3 play

When I installed everything on the CD and plugged the mp3 player into my Vista computer it said 'looking for driver' and never found it. I have not been able to find the driver for this type of player anywhere.
It worked fine on my brothers computer, which also has Vista. He got his computer after mine, and has Athlon processor as opposed to my Inter Core 2 Duo. Can't see why that would make a difference.
here's the walmart link, so there is no misunderstanding about the player I am using:
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=7789723

I think Creative should add the Sleek Photo to the player list in downloads and add the latest version there (I have version .0.0e). I ordered my player in December (for Christmas). There are a few issues that I have addressed in my "A few annoyances with Zen Sleek Photo 20GB (Request)" thread.
Sadly there has not yet been an update to fix the artist listings etc. as mentioned in my thread
I got in contact with another Creative Zen Sleek Photo user who also li'ves in Switzerland and has the same problems (tracks not been sorted correctly even with correct ID3 tags, which work in many many Windows applications).
By the way, sadly the Sleek Photo gets a load of dust under the screen too, unless you are very careful. I have been unable to remove most of the dust even using compressed air! I would rather not have to get it replaced because of this (unless Creative makes a slightly new casing model to prevent dust under screen) as I would probably end up paying rather a lot for postage (it's going indirectly through another company)
I hope there shall soon be a firmware update addressing these things,
Thanks for any response to this,

Can't install drivers for Creative Zen 'Data Inval

I have just bought a 8gb Creative Zen but everytime I try to install it I keep getting the message "There is a problem with this hardware (Creative Zen) An error occurred during the installation of the device, The data is invalid" and when I go into device manager and click on the properties in there for the Zen (Which has a yellow iconon it) it says
"This device is not configured correctly. (Code )".
I looked up this error on the Microsoft Technet website and it says [size="">"by clicking Update Driver, which starts the Hardware Update wizard. If updating the driver does not work, see your hardware documentation for more information." I have tried to update the driver but it won't update either.
I'm running Windows XP with Service pack 2
Any help is appreciated as i'm getting extremely frustrated.
Jim

Re-installing XP might not, and probably won't do it. The re-install will keep most if not all of your Windows settings and installed files. It may repair or install files that are corrupted or missing, but that's about all.
What happens when you delete the entry from Device Manager and then reconnect the player? If it still installs with a conflict, you'll probably have to track down the application or device that is causing the conflict. Also that inevitable question ... do you have Windows Media Player installed? There have been some instances where Creative players have not paired with the driver correctly with WMP, but work fine with WMP0.
You might also want to take a look at this thread at Epizenter
http://www.epizenter.net/e07_plugins...ic.php?95267.5
they have some hard-core Creative fans over there and the discussion is usually a bit more in-depth regarding technical issues.

URGENT: Any drivers for Creative Zen

Hey, somebody.
I've written to the support but it takes so long time so I hope someone here will answer sooner.
I bought a new Zen V and installed all the **bleep** on the CD, after that the manual says that I sholud connect my mp3 and load it, then start to use it. My problem here is that my computer doesn't find the mp3player. The usb device can't find any drivers at all in windows, i've also tried the CD to find any drivers. Not a **bleep** there either.
Please help me, where can I find driver to make the computer find the player. I really need to use my mp3, I have tinnitus and music is my only cure.
Thankful for ANYthing!
/Josefine

joSSan: Please refrain from using profanities on this forum, as this is a public forum we try to keep clean.
As to your problem, the drivers for the Zen V are actually built into Windows XP Service Pack & 2, so they are not on the CD. If Windows is telling you it can't find the driver, the first thing you need to check is your Service Pack.
http://us.creative.com/support/kb/article.asp?l=3&sid=4275
Try going through the KnowledgeBase article above, especially the "For Windows XP Users" section, as it applies to your case. One other thing you may want to try is a different USB port, preferably one on the BACK of the computer. Those ports tend to have less issues with mp3 players.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

If anybody Have a solution for install my zen micro or can help me , please ... I have to buy another Mp3 Player ? This have a solution ?Thanks ,i hope that you can help me. Regards

I updated my Firmware as stated by Creative Labs support team. I downloaded on my son's PC which has Window's XP Pro edition. Again, on his PC there is no problem with recognition of the device and/or player. However, when I plug my player into my PC which has Vista, the device manager has a "!" next to ZEN Micro Photo. So my PC "See's" the player. However, when you right click and then go to "Properties" it states that "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" Then it states to "reinstall the drivers" But when I tried to install or reinstall the "Driver" using the install wizard, I get an error message... "An error occurred during the installation of the device" and " A service installation section in this INF is invalid" Then a pop bubble appears and says "Found new hardware" You may have a problem with your device. It may not be working properly" So what do I do at this point. The only way for me currently to download music is to use my son's PC. At least I have another option... I feel sorry for the rest of you. When will creative wake up and smell the Vista!!

Creative Mediasource for Creative Zen (2-38

Hey everyone,
I am well aware that the current version of Creative Mediasource is not available for the Creative Zen. Now I figured that eventually they would make a version compatible with the Zen. I'm currently up to my 3rd Generation of Creative Mp3 players (from Zen Touch to Zen Vision: M to Zen 32 gb ), and I constantly used Creative Mediasource to edit the track information, usually the genres which awere so totally confused (Hip Hop should never be associated with Country :S). However, now that the Zen operates through Windows Media Explorer, instead of being able to select whole cds and right clicking them to 'edit genre', I now have to individually select each song and rewrite the details.. this could be a problem in the near future; I just got my mp3 player last tuesday, and though right now i'll manage, my media database is a little off in terms of assortment, and editing 600 tracks manually seems to be a rather tedious task >.< So, my question is(are):
When (if they ever decide to do so) will a Creative mediasource version for the Creative Zen be released?
Is there a faster method that I'm unaware of to edit the tracks?
I did take the time to look through the forums before I wrote this, taking the precautions by searching for Creative Mediasource, Creative Mediasource Zen flash, etc.Thanks in advance!

Well, I usually avoid Windows Media Player because the computer I use is also used by the rest of the family, and every once in a while it chooses to autosync music onto my Zen.. but if you say it's useful to edit multiple ID3 Tags (so that's the official name for them, oh..), i'll give it another try. And I'll try MediaMonkey too, because it sounds like the program was made specifically to make ID3 tag updating easier.
Thanks for all your help!

Case/Skin for Creative Zen Sl
