Can't Run Programs Whilst Zen Micro Connected!

//EDIT !!!!
CLOSE THIS TOPIC
For some unknown reasion (windows) my player is now working fine, except the headphone jack problem but i'm sure screative can sort that out for me
ell, I can. They just don't appear in the taskbar nor do their windows show up since I upgraded to 2.20.05.
For example:
. Run WMP. Opens fine
2. Connect Zen Micro
3. Run Firefox. Window does not appear. Taskbar does not appear. But it is listed in the task manager
4. Disconnect Zen Micro
5. Run Firefox. Window DOES appear. Taskbar button DOES appear.
And it's not just FireFox. It's the same for everything, including the installers for Mediasource AND Micro Media Explorer.
This is driving me nuts! Why can't I use my computer whilst my Zen is connected?Message Edited by r4b on -5-2005 02:36 AM

Tried diagnostic startup and didn't have any problems but I don't think the player was detected as WMP didn't pick it up ( I am running 2.20.05) and I couldn't get the device manager to show anything.
I've tried disabling ALL of my startup items, including my anti-virus, firewall and creative software to no improvement.
I'll run a full virus/spyware scan later and try after that, but I don't know if it will improve because I keep my computer VERY clean and secure

Subject: Can't Run program in Debug Mode
Has anyone else experienced this problem? We have written a non-express
program that uses the Express generated services project as a supplier
plan. However, when we try running this program in debug mode about 50%
(or more) of the time we abend while Forte is trying to partition the
application. Since we have many database classes in our Business Model we
are wondering if Forte is timing out during the partition phase or if the
server partition is running out of memory . The following error messages
are produced by Forte. Any suggestions???

Hi,
We have had the same problem in a non-express application
with a heavy server partition. In our case, the error was not
systematic, depending on the server workload at the time we
tried to partition and run.
The work-around we're using is to put the -fm flags (increasing the x
parameter to say 30000) in the 'server arguments' of your server
partition
properties in the partition workshop. Note that if your server is a Unix
platform,
you need to put double-quotes before and after the parenthesis in the -fm
syntax.
Hope this helps,
Vincent Figari
BTW, what Forte version are you using ?

Yes, probably can.. but it won't be fast. You are better storing programs locally and data remotely.

ZEN MICRO CONNECTION DETECTION & FIRMWARE PROBLEM! Please help

Last night i installed the new 'plays for sure' firmware for my creative zen micro 4gb. I have windows media player 0 and my system is running service pack 2 by the way.
The firmware installed fine and i went on media player to transfer all my music back onto the player.
This took ages! But it said it was on there ok.
Just to be sure i went into the E dri've- for the first time the player had registered there so i could check everythign went on ok.
All the music was there just fine.
I disconnected it from the PC and turned it on... and it's completely empty! I went to information in the player to check that what i was seeing was true and the player just crashed. The only way to turn it off was to remove the battery.
I have reinstalled the driver and reconnected the player and windows xp does the noise to let me know the player is connected... but it isnt being detected by media player and it doesnt come up in My Computer.
Please help asap!!! Sorry this is a long post!!!

This is the odd part. If you copied to the E dri've you must have copied to the USB mass storage area of the player (the player can be configured with up to 4Gb of USB mass storage that's ONLY for data files). The player should appear as a device in Windows Explorer for the audio part, so copy the files to that, NOT to the E dri've.

Zen micro, connection to pc proble

I got my new zen micro today, because i had a problem with the other one, but this time its when i connect it to the computer.
I pluged in the Mp3 player and the usb and it showed on the computer "A new device has been found" and so.
and i hadnt install the Creative programs, so i installed them and Zen Micro Media Explorer couldnt find my player, only Windows Media Player started.
So i wonder if there is a way to start everthing over again, so i can install the programs and then plug in the player so its going to work like it did the first time i had the player?
I have tried to uinstall the Creative program and reinstall but it didnt work.

Hmmmm, not totally sure, but this is what I did when I first got my Micro.
(on a school computer) Inserted installation CD and installed only the Zen Micro (no, not Media Source or anything else, just the option for the Zen Micro). Chose NOT to restart my computer.
Connected my Micro to the computer. It was found and drivers installed. I then upgraded the FW on my Micro to 2.20.05.
(on my home computer) Plugged in Micro and it auto-installed the drivers. Then installed "Zen Micro Media Explorer .00. for Creative Zen Micro Setup". I can either use this or the default Windows Explorer to manage my music, but I use this (ZMME) to manage my Micro's playlists.
I use WMP to rip CD's to WMA or MP3 and everything works out just fine. :-D

Creative Zen Micro - connect thru car and ghetto blast

Can I connect my Zen Micro (5G) thru my car stereo?
Can I connect my Zen Micreo (5G) thru my ghetto blaster?
If I can, what cables etc would I need?
Thanks

Synonyms include boombox.
The word ghettoblaster originated in the [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=United+States&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc02a " target=_top>U.S.[/url], apparently reflecting the belief that such systems are popular in [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Ghetto&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc02a" target=_top>poor inner-city neighborhoods[/url], especially those populated by [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=African+American&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc 02a" target=_top>black Americans[/url].

Zen Micro Connection Prob

Hi,
I have a Creative Zen Micro which I have been using all the time for a couple of years now. I just upgraded my computer so I had to reinstall my Zen Micro. I couldn't find my Zen Micro CD, so I downloaded the driver from the Creative site - Creative ZEN and Jukebox Driver 2.0.00
I then installed the driver and it told me to reconnect my Zen Micro, which I did. A little bubble popped up in the corner saying "Found New Hardware" and then "Creative Zen Micro"... However, my Zen Micro is now showing up in My Computer, as it used to. It is also not recognised by Creative Mediasource.
I checked in Device Manager and the Zen Micro is seen in the Uni'versal Serial Bus Controllers section and it says that the device is working properly.
I have tried my Zen Micro on another computer and it works fine there.
I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it again, but with the same result. Is there another driver that I should be using? I tried the earlier version that was on the Creative site too, but that didn't change anything.
On my new PC I have Windows XP.
I would be very grateful for any advice you might be able to offer.

If you have Windows XP, my only advice is to roll back to Windows Media Player 0 by un-installing WMP and WMP Runtime and un-installing all Creative software on your computer. Start over by reinstalling WMP 0, then re-install your firmware, then re-install your software. Yes, you will lose your music or player content, back it up first. This is the only method that got my players up and running and connecting with my Mediasource.
Best wishes,

Zen micro connection is messed

On my Creative Zen Micro, when i plug in my headphones, i used to be able to jiggle it a little and it would work, but now i have to tape the headphones a certain way, does anyone have this problem and do you know how to fix it's

there have been many problems with headphone jacks on the micros
it is basically a connection on the main board that has come loose
if you are still under warranty you can send it in for repairs

Zen Micro Connection "the device is not connect

When I connect my Zen Micro in my computer the Zen Micro Media Explorer says that "the device is not connected. Please connect your Zen Micro to the computer" My battery is full. I read the instruction book and It said when you connect the Zen Micro in, Creative MediaSource or Windows Media Player starts up automatically... but nothing happens when I connect my Zen Micro. Please help.

Hey, i have this same problem...well i did...im not sure :smileyindifferent:
At first i followed the instructions on how to install the mp3 (micro) etc etc, i followed it to perfection. When it came to using the software on the disc, i found alot of problems, mainly that my Micro "apparently" was not connected, according to my Creative Media Source/Organiser etc.
Anyway, after i downloaded loads of different updates etc, and basically fiddled about, i got WMP to recognise it!! BREAK THROUGH!!
Alot of other ppl i know have had this same trouble as i and as loads of you are, so i would recommend using WMP, works fine, only downfall is I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE PLAYLISTS :angry:
As fussy as i am, this isn't good enough for me, i want the software to recognise it so i can take full advantage of my new Micro.
So, i need advice, shall i quit while im ahead, or will someone gve me some help to resolve this problem?
And if the later, what the hell shall i do?

Zen micro connections probl

We just changed our OS from xp home to xp professional because our technican said that our xp home doesnt support usb 2.0 When it was done I got the zen micro cd and installed meciasource, drivers, zen micro explorer and wmp 0. Our PC has 4 usb ports, 2 front 2 back. When I tried connecting my micro to the first front port it wasnt recognized and my micro locked up. I had to remove the battery to get it going again. Then I tried the other front port and it worked.
Then after a few days I connected my micro and the usual box that pops out from the system tray pops out that its connected. However in mediasource it says player not connected. I tried restarting my PC but it didnt work. So I did a disk cleanup on my micro and it was recognized by mediasource. But after transfering the first two songs it timed out on the next couple of songs. Then it transferred some songs. When it was done my player wasnt recognized by mediasource. I tried the two back ports but only one is working. The other one has the same problem as stated above.
Can anyone help me fix this? Its such a hassle to use the back port every time coz I have to move some things around the PC to acces the back ports. All usb ports are working with our digital camera. Im also afraid that waht happened to the front port that was working previously would happen to the back port and then I cant transfer any songs anymore.

The front ports worked with the micro for a while after installing xp pro. And it was usb 2.0. On our xp home that is always updated the front ports were only usb .. So this means that our front ports are usb 2.0 right?
The de facto way to check is (a) to ensure you have XP SP, and that you've double checked in Device Manager that the chipset has automatically upgraded to USB2 (it doesn't always happen) and (b) to connect a high speed device to the port.
Our digicam and cellphone all connect on the front ports in usb 2.0 Only the micro doesnt work the front ports.
I've just written this in another post, that not all USB chipsets are made equal. Cheaper chipsets no doubt aren't fully tested or they don't comply with the full USB standard. Creative have assured that their players and drivers are completely compliant with the USB standard. BUT it could be some other bug comes into play, either with the Creative driver or the chipset and drivers. Hard to say. I've seen similar problems with iPods.
I think our usb came with the motherboard. I dont remember any pci cards. I think our mobo is intel D865GBV but im not really sure. Is there a way to know what our motherboard is?
You can use a product like Belarc Adviser, which will check the hardware contents of the PC.

Help on Zen Micro connecti

Hello, Im using Window XP pro. and after fully charged my Zen Micro, I wanted to put music on there... but for some reason when I connect my Zen Micro and open the Zen Micro Media Explorer it says "Your product is not connected. Please connect your Zen Micro" I've been looking around the forum for other people's problem... They have they same problem but they are using ME window, I tried using their method but it does not work. I have a Zen Micro 6GB. Please help me.

Just to keep the other thread clean, I replied here...
Read <a href='http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=8&categories =Nomad+Jukebox+Zen#228' target=_blank>this[/url]
Make sure you have Windows Media Player 0 installed as well as Service Pack or 2 for Windows XP. Make sure you download the 3 hotfixes, checked for wdfmgr.exe, and also changed the registry. Open up Device Manager (Control Panel -> Perfom & Mainten -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager), or if your lazy like me: Start, Run, devmgmt.msc, but I like to use Windows Key + PauseBreak -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager.
Anyway check if you see the Micro listed and if you see any exclamation marks on it.
But DO NOT USE RELOAD FIRMWARE. It will not help your situation.Message Edited by DM on 2-3-2005 05:27 PM

Zen Micro Connecting Prob

For some reason my PC no longer recognize my Zen Micro. I can't recharge my dead battery or transfer any files. The only time i can play it now is?when i'm in my car. It wants to update the software but can't find it on the CD. I did find an update for it and installed it but still won't connect. Any ideas?

Have you installed the correct quicktime version and afterwards the whole CD? Otherwise it can't work if you don't install it...
Maybe it helps if you mention your OS.

Can MBP run both WiFi and Ethernet connections at same time?

I've been running my mid-2012 MBP via USB and WiFi.
I acquired 8-port 10/100Mbp Switch. Can I run hardware like printers, external HD from MBP via the Ethernet switch and still keep USB connections and WiFi net for other purposes at same time?
(I found USB-ethernet adapters on internet)

Macs and many PCs can keep multiple network connections going. When you look at the list of connections in the Network system preference, the one on top is the primary connection and if you want another network interface to be the primary (like Ethernet) you use Set Service Order to drag it to the top of the list.
But when you do that, I think all services use whatever is primary. What I don't know how to do is make specific applications use specific network interfaces.

Can you charge a drained Zen Micro using the USB of the compu

This what happend.. my Zen Micro got drained.. so i decided to charge via USB of my computer.. but it wasnt charging? what may be the problem?

yep.. thats my current version of firmware.. yeah, the first time i charged with a USB.. it didnt charge because i forgot to slide it to lock mode... when i tried sliding it to lock mode, it was charging.. but this happened when i charged the battery was not yet drained..
So, the other day i forgot to charge it, i just noticed it was drained already.. so i decided to charge it via USB of my pc.. i slide it to lock mode, but nothing happened.. it wasnt charging... thats why i had this question that if your player is drained already, you cannot charge it via USB.. it should be via the power outlet... can this be true?
