Activation Key Error for Creative Media Toolbox 6

Hello,
Recently purchased SB X-Fi HD USB with Media Toolbox 6. X-Fi HD running fine but haven't tested all inputs and outputs.
When activating Media Toolbox 6, I get this error message "An error ocurred while trying to obtain a valid Activation Key from the Internet (error 3)"
Already disabled firewall and tried downloading software from Creative site instead of disk but still get the same error.
Also sent this to Customer Support 7 days ago but still no response.
Thank you for the help.
System: Dell XPS 6 i5 Windows 7 64-bit

I experienced this persistent problem as well. I tried installing the latest FlashPlayer a couple of times via IE7, to no effect.
Then I noticed this thread: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...n_966&sliceId=
I downloaded the uninstaller and ran it, as advised here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view..._457&sliceId=2
Then installed it again. This time it worked, Media Toolbox 6 could be installed without any further problems.

Problem with a patch for Creative Media Explorer for Ze

Has anyone had any problems with their PC (rebooting itself after install and getting a blue screen) when downloading and installing the update for Creative Media Explorer for Zen M to fix the album art problem for WMP?I downloaded this update per a response I got to thread here:http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=79299?I downloaded the patch to update Creative Media Explorer. I was going to upgrade WMP to after that?but my PC got stuck at the startup screen during boot up. The hard dri've light indicator was on solid also. I thought maybe the dri've had died since I have had it for quite some time now. I took the dri've out and put it in an external enclosure I have that connects via USB. I was able to get into BIOS and set the boot order to boot from a USB dri've. When it started to boot up, it looked as if it was going to come up but it didn't. I seen a flash of a blue screen and the PC rebooted itself. I'm wondering if the update is causing the OS to hose up on start up. That's why I'm just wondering if anyone has downloaded this update with any problems. The update can be found here: http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=3&x=40&y=7. It is number 5. I'm currently defraging my dri've and I am somehow going to try and repair the OS if I can and uninstall Media Explorer and reinstall. Oh one other thing, it will not boot into safe mode either.

I downloaded the patch and installed it on my PC and everything worked like a charm, and right after that my music started showing Album Art.However, I still didn't replace the new firmware on my Zen Vision M (.6) and I wonder if I should, since everything seems to work wonderfully well at this point?

Can someone tell me the SIM Activation key / Code for my iPhone 3g (16-bit) ?

I have iPhone 3G (8-bit mother board), there was a problem when just i have update the software of it, it is totally failed.. now i have changed his mother board from 8-bit to 16-bit, but now i am facing SIM activation problem so can any body tell me the activation key / code for it...?

If you bought the iphone in the US and it is locked to a specific carrier, then you can't use a different sim (from another carrier). Is this your situation?
Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by "trying to unlock my SIM". In which country did you buy the iphone? Who's your carrier?

Problem Normalizing VBR MP3's, Creative Media Toolbox 6, Zen 3

Anybody else using Media Toolbox 6 to normalize MP3's? Ripping with Media Explorer at max quality VBR then normalizing? with Media Toolbox 6. More often than not the size of the normalized track is a fraction of the original and consequently terrible quality (eg. down from 7 meg to meg). Sometimes it is only one track on an album, while the other tracks are all smaller by anything from a few k to a meg or so, but doesn't appear to affect the quality. More often than not the whole album will be affected.
I have tried normalizing with CBR ripped MP3's and there doesn't seem to be a problem.
Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?
I know I should just give up, accept the software sucks and re-rip and normalize the albums in question at CBR, but I hate giving up (and I paid for the ****ed software!).
I've been in contact with support but they insist I'm the only person who has ever mentioned this problem (therefore it must be me causing the probelm, not Creative software), and keep advising me to re-set the player and re-install the firmware etc. I've told them there is no problem with the player but they don't appear to be reading my emails.

My advice to anyone that cares about their music and mp3's, the only decent program that works without problems,does what it says and doesn't corrupt your files is MP3Gain and guess what...... it's 00% freeware !!
I've been using it since 2004 never had a problem and it's very simple to use, don't bother with anything else get working files and save your cash !!
Here is the link:? http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/
MP3Gain does not just do [url="http://replaygain.hydrogenaudio.org/faq_norm.html">peak normalization[/url], as many normalizers do. Instead, it does some [url="http://replaygain.hydrogenaudio.org/">statistical analysis[/url] to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear.
Also, the changes MP3Gain makes are completely lossless. There is no quality lost in the change because the program adjusts the mp3 file directly, without decoding and re-encoding.

Creative Media Toolbox 6 prob

This is a problem I had when I first installed it on my machine running XP and now again with XPx64, so it wasn't related to the OS (I hope).
It installs OK, but when I try to run it, the splash screen comes up, then the 4 options "create? enhance? organize convert" show up, but if I don't choose one of them in about .2 seconds, it won't let me do anything and I have to close it and try again. And even if I am able to choose one of those and access one of the sub-options, once I exit that activity and the main menu comes up again I can't choose anything from it. It pretty much freezes up, but can be closed without any more trouble.
Any ideas? Or just another one of Creative's piss-poor installations?

Creative Media Toolbox 6.02.01 install probl

Just wanted to ask if anyone has had any problems with Media Toolbox 6.2. not installing correctly? I have downloaded it about 4 times, and tried installing it about 9 times, and it still does not appear. I have got the correct version of Flash installed, and Creative tell me the download file is for both XP and Vista..But thats about ALL I can get from them, apart from just telling me to re-download and re-install.. I even treid a re-install after cleaning out the registry of all creative files after deleting the program. Does anyone have any suggestions, or work-arounds?
Thanks
Dennis

Creative media toolbox installation prob

I have just purchased the media toolbox as i want to rip cds to mp3 and the creative website says i get the free mp3 audio pack with it. However when i start the install setup it wants to update the adobe software and after i have updated the adobe software i run the install again and it wont go beyond the adobe part. i am with the elite pro on vista 64 on an intel quad with 4 gb of ddr2.
I am getting disheartened with this i expected full functionality and an easy install.
any help would be welcome from either creative or a forum member.
regards

All seems to be ok now. I downloaded the softwarre again last night, this time on a different dri've, and all the programs seemed to download fine. I am now in the process of transferring tracks from my old Jukebox Zen to the new Zen Vision M. I did still have the old Creative software installed, so perhaps this is where the problem came from? That is all I could really come up with if someone else encounters the same error messages. Anyway, all is working fine now. I can't seem to get the album artwork to appear, but one thing at a time, and there seems to be a lot of information on the forum about this problem. Peter

Jet Engine 4 needed for Creative Media Source Corrupt Libr

I have seen this asked before but not answered well.
I just installed Creative Media source for Zen Touch. When I bring up Creative Media source it says that I have a corrupt media library and need to download current Jet Engine 4 from Microsoft. I do that but when I try to upgrade it get the message that I already have a newer version on my computer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with same result.
Is this bad software (Creative Media Source) or screwed registry or whatever on my computer.
Better yet can I remove Creative Media Source and just use Microsoft Media 0, i.e. will the necessary drivers be available?
Creative Nomad Explorer seems to be working ok?

Dusty,
Have you also installed the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 available from Microsoft?
You can find the MDAC here - MDAC_TYP.EXE
If the difficulty persists, you can uninstall MediaSource via Add/Remove Programs Wizard in Control Panel, delete the MediaSource folder in n C:\Program Files\Creative and reinstall it.

Creative Media Toolbox 6 Probl

I have bought and installed the above product but have yet to get it to work on my dual core PC running XP SP2. I have made sure that I have the most up to date Adobe Flash installed but all I get when I click the short cut is the image of red sphere and no Flash implementation runs from the start up screen.
I have removed and reinstalled I don't know how many times now but have failed to get any use from this piece of software. It's very disappointing and frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Windows Media Player 9 for the Mac has not been updated since 2003 so Microsoft's announcement is disingenuous to say the least. They haven't supported or developed the thing in, literally, years.
I cannot say enough good things about the Flip4Mac WMV player that allows you to view WMV files in Quicktime. There is also a browser plugin that lets WMV files play in Safari just like WMP9, only BETTER! And the player is now FREE. Strangely, Microsoft is even recommending it as a replacement for WMP9. It works perfectly on sites like CNN that use Windows Media Player for their video content and is compatible with more codecs than WMP9. Check out Microsoft's website for information and download.

I highly recommend you download and install the Flip4Mac WMV Player. You can say goodbye and good riddance to WMP9.

Access key error for ABAP user in Development

Hi,
I am getting the following error while entering the development access key for Development client 103

Compare the installation number of your IDES system with that of your development system. Do you see? They're different. Different installation requires a different key. Go and have another chat with your basis friends.

Invalid Activation Key Code for Windows 7

Re: CSOxxxxxxxxxx (IBM)
: Lenovo pt/#-57Y2911
I purchased a T500 with VISTA and upgraded to Windows 7 (pt/#-572911), purchased from Lenovo. Installed it as directed and now Microsoft has monitored the software as it is on my computer and they are saying it is not a valid Key Code. One Key Code came with the new disc that was mailed to me and it was not working as I placed it in the BOX. So Lenovo e-mailed me another Key Code and I have been operating Windows 7 for about a Month and now I'm being told once again that the Key Code is in error.
I spoke with IBM by phone on Friday (12-12-09) and was told by a fellow named P that I was being asked for the Key Code to Microsoft Office 2007 and tonight (12-13-09), Saturday, I'm finding out that the Key Code wanted is for Windows 7 and not Microsoft Office!
I hope there is someone credible with Lenovo that will follow up on this matter...the phone number given me by e-mail is (866-968-4465). The person (P) there was of no help! I still have a copy of the e-mail, to prove my case.
Please help!
I do not like this kind of situation! And I hope not to have to give Lenovo a bad name; I spent a lot of money!
