Anyone with Win XP Home Edition - SP2 have any luck connecting to Zen Micro???

Has anyone out there that has Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 had any success with the following:
. Using Zen Media Explorer with the Zen Micro successfully?
2. Actually having the Zen Micro recognized by the Windows XP Home Edition (using USB2.0)?
Since my first attempt at connecting to the Zen Micro without the software and firmware updates was unsuccessful, I upgraded Zen Media Explorer to 4.00.8 (from 4.00.3) and upgraded firmware to v2.00.2 (from v). Still no luck!!!
I need a savior here before I decide to start looking into return policys.
My problems are:
. I plug in the zen micro into the usb2.0 port, and it states, "Found New Hardware: Creative Zen Micro."
2. But then it immediately says there is a problem with the device and takes me to the "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard."
3. I step through the wizard, point it to search for the appropriate drivers on the Zen install cd rom and also to search the C:\Windows\System32, only to have it tell me that "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary hardware."
Any suggestions? There must be something in XP Home Edition that is not jiving with the zen and its software because I have used the Micro successfully at work on a XP Professional machine with no issue.
I will call Creative tomorrow if I don't get things settled out.

Ok I had the same problem. It's most likely a driver installation error.
Insert the software CD.
After it starts exit the installation and go to My Computer. Right click the D:\ (or whichever letter is your CD dri've) and select Explore..
From there you will look for a Folder named Drivers.
From there you should see 3 files and double click the first of the three,( If it's not the first one try the second or third)
This should be the driver installation pack for Creative Zen microdri've players ( Which includes the Zen Micro) After it should say something abuot re-connecting the player to make the changes fully effecti've. I restarted my computer and the player and plugged the player into the same USB port and XP recognized the player and Zen Media Explorer said teh player was connected.

  • Error message downloading j2se 1.5.0 on windows XP home edition (SP2)

    Hello:
    I am getting the following error message attempting to install the j2se 5.0 on my windows XP home edition (SP2):
    "Error JavaTM installer
    The installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to determine if it is still supported. If so please try installing at a later time as these file might be only temporarily unavailable."
    There is a bug report:
    Bug ID: 6237992
    Tested Bundle: 5.0u2_b09 JDK iftw on staging site
    http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
    Tested O/S: XP-Home (sp2)
    Problem:
    The installer throws error messages. I tried on three different
    XP-Home (sp2) machines in our lab. It throws error message the very first or second time and after that, it seems to work fine.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1) On XP-Home(sp2) machine, try to download and install the JDK iftw bundle from
    http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
    2) During the installation the first or second time, one of the following messages thrown:
    A) "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and than you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package"
    B) Error - Java Installer
    "This installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version, please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to determine if it is still supported. If so, please try installing at a later time, as these files might be only temporary unavailable"
    This problem seems to occur on XP-Home(sp2). When error message pops up, keep trying it, it 's eventually OK. It may confuse consumers at the first two times.
    xxxxx@xxxxx 2005-03-09 05:11:47 GMT"
    I have tried the downloading five times to no avail, both by double clicking, and using the windows run utility. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I am getting the same error when opening the J2se Development Kit 5.0 Update 8 after I press the Run button. ( "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and than you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package").
    Is there a solution ?

  • Win 7 Home Edition to Win XP Pro Sharing

       I'm trying to send files to my Win XP Pro from my Win 7 Home Edition to repair the Win XP files,I have a cross-over cable connection,I got the XP to ping the Home Ed. Now can I or do I ping or just start sharing from Win 7 to Win XP? Please
    answer asap

    Hi,
    Please refer to this guide to correctly connect the two machines together,  it can take some time for that XP computer to appear in the Network window in Windows 7. You might need to move both computers to the same workgroup.  Meanwhile
    make sure to "Turn on network discovery and file sharing", After the configuration, type the Windows 7 ip address or name in Windoww XP Windows Explorer, such as
    \\ipaddress (or
    \\Windows7computername)
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/connect-two-computers-crossover-cable#1TC=windows-7
    If the two computers can connect to the same network, then we can just refer to the following guide to share files

  • Is iTunes 11.1.0 compatible with Windows XP Home Edition?

    I am trying to update my iTunes to 11.1.0, but get a Windows error message that says it might not be compatible with Windows XP (Home Edition).  I've never had this problem updating iTunes before.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Has XP been updated to Service Pack 2? Right-click Computer on your desktop or in the start menu and click Properties. Visit Windows/Microsoft Update and install the service pack if needed, otherwise ignore the error and continue.

  • Does any one have any luck getting screen sharing to work in Skype 2.x

    Does any one have any luck getting screen sharing to work in Skype 2.x?

    The current skype app works (makes calls) with iphone, ipod touch as well as the current ipad, per the description of the app. The ipad is obviously not going to be able to make video calls, but I know the iphone 4 can make video calls to a PC through skype. Works really well too. Im assuming that with the ipad 2 you should be able to make video calls as you can with iphone / ipod touch.

  • Anyone have any luck with steam and wine

    im trying to get any steam to work with wine and so far i've had no luck. 
    i have a 512 ATI RADEON X1600 graphics card and im using the open source ati driver.
    have had some success with counterstrike 1.6.  I start a game (local) but it is extremely choppy/laggy. 
    does anyone have any pointers on how to get it to run more smoothly?

    I don't know how well the open source drivers are going to handle games, catalyst may work better but you will have to use the legacy driver (here) for an X1600, and it doesn't work with the most recent kernel.

  • Latest version of Itunes - using with Win 7 Home Prem on HP Pavilion laptop

    What do you think of using the latest Itunes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a *HP Pavilion 1360US (pc-based) laptop*? Does anyone know of any problems while using this or has anyone had this same problem? Any suggestions, ideas or comments? I have an IPOD 5th Gen Video 30G. I'm feeling a little scared to get this newer version. But I need to get my IPOD up and running again very soon. It's nothing but a dud at this time and I'm kind of feeling helpless!
    Hopefully someone will respond.

    Is that the "HP Pavilion dv6-1360us Entertainment Notebook PC", Ba, as per the following HP document?
    [Product Specifications|http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01887282&tm ptask=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&swlang=&product=4035647&os=4063]
    If so, there's no potential issues for you with Intel 5-series chipsets (or nVidia chipsets) on Windows 7 systems (given that it's just got the Core 2 Duo processor, not an i3, i5 or i7). The more recent versions of AMDS (that come with iTunes 9.1.1.11 and above) have been installing okay on 64-bit systems by comparison with the previous version 9s (AMDS install rollbacks aren't being reported much nowadays on 64-bit systems). So my main reasons for concern with 64-bit Windows 7 systems don't apply in the case of that laptop.

  • Trouble with Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 x64

    Hello everyone
    My system is in a very big mess. I'm using Ideapad y550 and recently I was hit by the continuous restart cycle. I updated my windows as usual and after a system restart as part of the update processs, windows just kept on restarting. "configuring updates part 3" and it would always be at 0%. Anyway, I searched the internet and came across a solution. I downloaded a Vista recovery disc (since Lenovo did not provide me with one) and went to command prompt and deleted a certain file that was causing this restart loop. Now, after that day I have been hit with more problems. Here
    1) windows does not update anymore. Always shows "searching for updates" and is stuck there forever
    2) "turn windows feature on/off" box is always empty.
    3) "sfc /scannow" does not work anymore. gives a "windows protection error" or something similar.
    4) I failed to install Microsoft Office 2010 as it gives this error "Error 1935 - HRESULT: 0x8007054F". I am stuck with no office application as I deleted office 2007 to install this and cannot do my university work!
    5) windows has gotten extremely slow.
    ok that is a huge list, I know. Could someone please help me? I am really lost right now and going back to factory settings is not an option since I do not have backup. I'm ready to try everything to avoid that. Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks so much for your efforts

    clean windows installation will delete all the files you have on volume c:
    i didn't suggest you to repair, cause i don't think it'll help, but you can try.
    just use windows repair to save your personal files, after then perform clean installation not to have any other issue(s).

  • TS1363 I'vw tried everything here multiple times, anyone have any luck with another non-apple generated solution?

    Any time I try to connect to itunes, windows recognizes the ipod, but it never comes up in itunes. When the bubble for "trust" or "dont trust" comes up, I tap trust. Then I hear the window sound for disconnecting something from a usb port. I tried all the apple solutions, nothing helped at all. Anyone have any ideas? I tried full restoring the ipod too, and now I've got an empty ipod that I cant connect to itunes....fantastic...

    After having communicated with Bose extensively over the last two months I'm pretty sure there is no solution to this.  Bose are not the only phones that exhibit this, but there are only a handful that do and they all support multi-link technology in BT 4.0.  One theory is that in searching for other devices to link is what causes the skipping, but in none of these is there an option to turn off multi-link (which might be the solution).
    The good news is that CES has introduced a TON of new BT headphones, and we'll see these come to market this spring.  One or more of them may well work for folks (for audiophiles the best looking one so far is Sennhesier's Momentum series, already a respected model among wired sets, the BT version is getting excellent early reviews.  But pricey).  Unless you need something immediately my advice would be to wait a few months and see what comes out.
    You are correct that Powerbeats have sync issues -- sync issues are common with bluetooth but some makers do better than others.  My portable BT receivers, for example, have excellent sync across all apps.  But as I noted above, this isn't a good solution for those on the go (pairing a portable BT receiver with otherwise wired phones -- although if folks are interested my new favorite is the Fidelio X2/27 model with these.  Truly audiophile level sound, at a reasonable price.  But not something I'd take out of the house :>).
