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.

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.

Where I can find free drivers for Creative Zen Vision

I've lost my Creative Zen Vision:M drivers, so I can't share with my friends my music, videos and photos. Do you know where I can find these free drivers for Zen Vision:M?

I've downloaded Creative ZEN Vision:M 30 GB Firmware .62.02e and it says to me "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". I've connected my Creative Zen Vision:M with PC and it always says to me "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". What I must do now Thanks.

I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP.

Hi, guys. I have a problem. I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP. I `ve got an error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". In Norton Ghost (DOS) drive on Promise work fine. I can`t install WINXP + SP1 on HDD on Promise controller. After pressing F6 and installing driver i `ve got an error Can`t find drive. BIOS 193 beta. Devices: IBM 120Gb 180GXP on primary master, Seagate 120 SATA 26AS on Third master. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM on secondary channel. Drivers 1.00.1.37 from ASUS and 1.00.1.29 from MSI. No result.
And another one. Why very poor perfomance when copying large files (700Mb). When starting copying speed is 25-27Mb/sec, when finishing 5-8Mb/sec. All drives under NTFS.
PS. Sorry for my bad english.

That's correct
So if I do not misunderstand you, Windows hangs when accessing the drive?
Is it only with this drive, then maybe it's an incompatibility between the controller and the ata electronics of the drive.
Or maybe it's completely broken.. have you tried it on the ICH5 IDE controller?
If it works there you should use this configuration.
I've read about problem with some drives ... take a look into the threads on the top of this board (FAQ etc.).
What I found out yesterday: You can use the Promise in RAID mode and define a RAID0 array with only one single drive. So you could use the Fasttrak driver from MSI, which is up to date.
I haven't tried this solution (one disk in a RAID0 stripe configuration), but I think it should work...
Maybe you give it a try
PS.: Before you switch to RAID mode, you have to change the Promise Driver... but be careful: windows won't boot with the wrong driver - your last chance would be "last known good" then...

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!!

Can't install drivers for Sound Blaster Live! No ctzapxx.exe file

As above, I had to reboot my system and used a disk eraser as I wanted a clean slate. So obviously I have to reinstall the drivers for diff things such as sound card, USB 2.0 card etc. Everything goes fine until I get to installing the drivers for the Sound Blaster Li've!?I inserted the disc and installed the drivers, then I restarted Windows as requested. When it loads back up it'sdetects the sound card and trys to install the driver, but it can not find the driver anywhere, not on the PC or on the CD. After looking into things I thought I would go down the approach using the ctzapxx.exe file mentioned here - <a target="_blank"]http://93.95.7.84/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=4,E=000000000033636605,K=5285,Sxi=8,Answer2655 5=obj(26555)bj(26559[/url])?But for some reason this file isn't on the CD, which is what I think is stopping me from installing the drivers. My OS is Windows XP SP2. I have files that a similar in name to ctzapxx.exe , but they don't seem to do anything. I am usual ok with computer software but hardware and BIOS etc isn't my strong point as you may have gathered. I'm hoping someone knows how to sort this as it is a real pain not having any sound. Any help will be much appreciated!If you need anymore details to help identify the problem I'll provide them ASAP. Thanks in advance,Andy

the unipack download from creative will not work. first, try asking around if somebody else has the same 5. creative card as yours. the only solution for your problem is to use the installation cd that came with your creative card. I lost mine so i went to a pc repair shop and inquired if they have a copy of such cd - they normally do.
. you need to remove all the programs concerning creative from add remove programs. 2. shut down, and remove the sound card. 3. turn the pc on and let windows boot normally. install the the softwares and drivers using the cd that came with the box. 4. shut down and install the sound card 5. turn on the pc. windows will find a new hardware and will find the right drivers bec you have previously installed them. There is absolutely no need to reformat your hard dri've.

Can't install drivers for sound blaster live Telling me there isn't a sound blaster card install

I am doing a fresh install of xp on a machine. This machine had no hardware issues before I formated the dri've and re-installed windows xp.
Everytime I go to install the drivers for the sound card I get an error message telling me that setup cannot find a sound blaster card installed on the system?
I even pulled a known working li've card from the machine I have downstairs. Put the card in and started up the machine. The driver pack is still telling me there is no card installed. I've tried three different pci slots as well.
I even went as far as re-installing windows xp without service pack 2 integrated and even that didn't help!!!
Is there some kind of fix that I am missing?

Can't install drivers for C7280 on Mac Air Hp says drivers at Apple who says no drivers, see HP.

I can't install the drivers for my printer Photsmart C7280 on my Mac Air running Mac OS X 10.7, Lion. The HP center sends me to Apple Updates which says no drivers available, see HP which repeats the circle.

Lion should include the driver you need but since its not working lets try this:
Let's uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this:
1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue
2. Highlight your device on the left pane
3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
5. Click Continue and let it finish
Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates.
Next, let's reset the printing system:
Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Finally, download and install the software from here.
Let me know how this works for you!

How can I install drivers for bootcamp without using the mac install dvd?

I installed windows 7 in bootcamp on my mac. I put the drivers on a FAT format usb stick so they should be installed while the windows installation was running. The most things are working on windows like the i-sight-camera. The problem is that the microphone doesn´t work so I look for a solution for 3 days, no result. Normally, you use the mac install dvd to install the necessary drivers but windows doesn´t want to read the dvd. And yes, you can download the drivers on the apple platform, but that doesn´t help me at all.
Thanks in advance. (sorry for the language)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You didn't install Boot Camp drivers. It looks like you downloaded these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
Those drivers are only for the graphic card and Bluetooth, not anything else, so you have to download the Boot Camp drivers on OS X and install them in Windows

Hello @gicanktrl and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are running into driver errors. I would like to help.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

PLEASE HELP, CAN'T INSTALL DRIVERS FOR ZEN TO

Got my lovely new Zen touch 2 days ago and so far have been able to do NOTHING with it!
Plug my Zen in via USB and my computer recognises it no problem. However if I try using Nomad or Media player to import files the player is not detected.
Belei'ved there was a problem with the drivers so I've tried to reinstall the software which came with it, tried updates from the internet, and also manually through device manger. All I get is that now software was found on my computer.
I know u go a lot of problems from newbies on her but I would be SO grateful for any help. I am very frustrated with it and just want to get listening.
Am using windows XP and is Zen version .0.03
Thanks to anyone who bothers to read this.

i got my zen touch 2 days ago as well. what i did before i plugged mine into the computer i installed all the software first. I installed everything they had except adobe acrobat. after it was done I restarted the computer, plugged my zen touch into the power source and plugged in the usb. worked like a charm. WMP0 recognized it after the 2nd time I hit sync. I don't recommend WMP0 because it said alot of my files needed "conversion" when they were all mp3 and fine. then it just skipped them and uploaded maybe 600 out of about 800 songs. Go with mediasource, should work. Good Luck!

XP new, can't install drivers for vidcard G4ti4400

I just installed Windows XP Pro, then SP1, on an ASUS P4S533 motherboard. I have my graphics card (G4 Ti4400) showing as "Unknown VGA controller" under Device Manager. I can't update the drivers by any means without the monitor going black (I can hear sounds in the background if I hit esc though). After a hard re-boot, the monitor goes black when Windows tries to load.
Could this be a power problem?
I'm not sure where I should look up the specs on my power supply like in some of the other posts I've read, but pcprobe shows:
+12V 12.35
+5V 5.187
+3.3V 3.168
VCore 1.6
I tried to update the drivers before and after the SP1 update. I didn't have this problem with the card on the previous system (XP too) that I took it from, so I'm assuming that there's a problem with the motherboard or the drivers.
Help appreciated. Thank you,
Chris
p.s. I have the latest bios too.

Hi, thank you for replying. I have some news.
First, the specs are as follows:
300W
+3.3V 20A
+5V 25A
+12V 10A
+5VSB 2A
-5V 0.5A
-12V 0.8A
The other news is that I tried setting AGP 4x in the BIOS down to 2x and now the drivers will go through. Two things about this: 4x was fine for this video card on my previous computer; and I thought a G4ti4400 would be AGP 4x capable.
If it uses more power when it's in 4x, then these problems would make sense as a psu problem, right?
Thanks,
Chris

Trying to install software for Creative "Zen" MP3 player

I can't find anywhere on the documentation that this is a PC only device, but I am having trouble installing the software to get our MP3 players started. I can see the CD and it's files once I have loaded it, but it does not take me to the Autoplay wizard to get things started. Any tips????

I'm pretty sure that won't work on a Mac.
Check the install disk, it might say what systems are supported. If not, look at the files on the disk. If they're all named like PC files they're likely for a PC. If the disk has a Mac partition the files will look like they have Mac-style icons and names.
I also note that Macs don't use an 'autoplay wizard'; that's a PC thing.
