Cant install creative zen explorer and player freezes. I desperately need he

I have only gotten my zen micro yesterday. While using the installation cd, I could only install creative mediasource, when it comes to the creative zen micro part, it just says installingshield... and the next screen that appears is that my installation is successful. I restarded my computer but nothing associated with zen micro appears. At the same time, my player freezes whenever I plug the usb cable in and my a small window pops out saying that "the usb device is not recognise" whenever the cable is plug in. I've no idea whats wrong with my player because its new and i've no idea what to do as well. anyone help me please? thank you.

You can install the drivers manually from the CD (they should be in the location DRIVERS\ENGLISH\Drv_Jb3.EXE). Alternati'vely you can download them from Nomadworld.com downloads.
You can also get the Zen Micro Media Explorer there.

Creative ZEN TOUCH and Macs, plz h

Hi,
I am considering buying a Creative Zen Touch and would like some help
I was wondering if anyone could answer this for me, and yes, I have the read the FAQ and about Macs and how it isnt officially supported, yada yada
What I would like to know is, I have a PC at home which I will use to transfer music
HOWEVER
At Uni'versity, I am forced to use a Mac computer. What I want to know is, I would like to use the Zen Touch as a portable hard dri've so I can copy my homework (not mp3s, but school work) on to the Zen Touch, then go to Uni'versity, plug in the mp3 player into the Mac and access my DATA files from the Mac WITHOUT having to install any software (i.e. plug n play)
Thanks,

peterh85,
I'm afraid you can't. The player will need driver and application installed in order to link up with the computer for file transfer. Even when MTP firmware is available, you will need to be using Windows XP and Window Media Player 0 to interact with the player.

My Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.

AMy Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.> Hi. Was hoping someone could help me. I brought a creative zen x-fi and half of the times i tried to delete a track or album it would freeze, i'd reset it and the track or album was not deleted. I sent it back and brought a new one however my new one does the same except more, about 8 out of 0 times when i try to delete a track or album it freezes. It doesn't seem to have any problems deleting anything else e.g photos, videos. I looked on the support section of the site and it mentioned that the player could keep freezing if there were corrupted files. Pleae could someone tell me what exactly this mean? (i'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to things like this ) All the music on my player is from ripped cds or what was already on the laptop or player to begin with, so could there be any corrupted files from those?

Nvm,the cleanup works Thanks man

CREATIVE ZEN MICRO and WINDOWS VI

I hope this question has not been repeated.
I have a Creative Zen Micro and have attempted to install it on my current computer that uses Windows Vista 32-bit. However, it was unable to install or find the driver necessary.
I've already looked at the 'driver release plans'?for this product and there is only a page regarding 'Nati've Support', which says 'The MP3 products ZEN Micro, ... require the latest firmware to ensure Nati've Support in Window Vista'.
I've searched for firmware for the Zen Micro on a Windows Vista 32-bit in English, and found nothing.
How can I make this product work with my Windows Vista 32-bit computer ?
Thank you !!!

First of all for a little background information, the problem lies in a problem between Creative's firmware installation program and Windows Media Player . WMP is standard in Windows Vista. As a matter of historical information, Creative has not developed any drivers for Windows Vista, therein the rub; Windows Vista does support the Microsoft PlaysForSure initiati've, and many of the older players like the Micro series does have PlaysForSure firmware available to enable the player to be used in Windows Vista.
Now for an outline of the necessary ste
ps.
Back up all of the content on your Micro. The firmware that you will install includes a disk format that will erase all of the content and change the way that the disk dri've on the Micro is formatted.
You'll need to find a Windows XP system that does not have Windows Media Player installed. You or the owner of the system should also be knowledgeable in the use of Windows XP System Restore feature so that you can return the system to it's previous state after you are finished with it.
Create a Restore Point on the XP system. Download and install the drivers for your Zen Micro to the XP system. This will enable the player to be recognized by the computer.
Download the PlaysForSure driver for the Micro, V2.2.02, to the desktop of the XP system.
Connect the player to the system with a USB cable and execute the program.
When the firmware installation has completed, the player will reboot. You may disconnect the player. After you have confimed that the firmware revision is correct on the Micro, do a System Restore to put that system back in the condition that you found it.
Connect the Micro to your Vista system and it should recognize the player and install the nati've Windows PlaysForSure driver and pair it with your Micro.

Creative Zen Micro AND using M

Hi,
I'm a pc user at home and I am considering purchasing a Creative Zen Micro mp3 player.
I was wondering, am I able to put data files onto the mp3 player, then access them at Uni'versity where I use a Mac computer. I heard this was a Windows only product.
I want to easily plug in the USB cable to the Mac computers at Uni then access them easily without having to install any extra software so its able to read it (i.e. Plug N Play)
Thanks

thanks for the info,
BUT
what i really wanna know for 00% sure is that I can plug in my Creative Zen Micro mp3 player into a Mac WITHOUT installing ANY software and that the Mac will read the device for Data NOT music, since I only need the mac to read it so I can transfer data files from home to uni'versity
plz let me know, thanks!

I recently got a new HP PC 500-267c/64 bit Windows 7 computer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop? It says I need the Twain Plug In. How do I get it?

I have a new HP PC 500-267c/ Windows 7/64 bit c omputer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop.
It says I need the Plug In Twain to scan into Photoshop and can download it but nothing else. How and where
do I find the download?

There's no 64 bit TWAIN so you need to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop. Personally I'd recommend that you use the scanner software as a standalone application and forget TWAIN, which is rapidly becoming obsolete and more or less abandoned everywhere. All it does is call up the very same scanner software, only from within the PS UI, and tying up Photoshop in the process.

Creative zen v and line in on 10.4

i have a creative zen v and an imac w/ 10.4 on it.
i want itunes to see the zen, but that wont happen.
i do have xnjb which sees the zen, but doesnt play the mp3s on it. it does let me copy mp3s from the zen to the imac which i dont want to do. i want the imac to play the mp3s from the zen.
the zen has a headphone jack. the imac has a microphone in jack. i want to play the songs on the zen, and run a headphone to headphone cable to the mic in on the imac and have the zen play the songs and the imac play what it is recieving from its mic in jack. anyone know how to do this? like what program plays mic line in?
thanks in advance.
imac 800mhz Mac OS X (10.4)
imac ? Mac OS X (10.0.x)
imac ? Mac OS X (10.0.x)
imac 800mhz Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Sorry but the iMac 800MHz doesn't have an Audio Line-In port; it only has a built in microphone, an Apple Pro Speaker connection, a mono internal speaker and a headphone port.
Personally I'd copy the mp3 from the Zen and then import them to iTunes so the device doesn't need to be connected.

Installing creative suite 5 and mac desktop does not have architecture

Installing creative suite 5 and mac desktop does not have architecture? What do I do?@

attach a screenshot of the error message, if it's in english. otherwise, copy and paste the error message.

I just installed Creative Suite 6 and want to know if I can uninstall versions 5 and 5.5

I just installed Creative Suite 6 and want to know if I can uninstall versions 5 and 5.5

Adobe upgrade installers are always full installers and do not need to find a previous version installed. If they don't , they just prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.
That being said, if you plan to uninstall older versions, the time to do so is BEFORE you install the newer version. The problem is that when you run the uninstaller for each older version, they will in turn mess with the newer installation iof already present. There are just too many similarly named files in similar locations for each version.
If you already have CS6 installed, running the CS5 and CS5.5 uninstaller will mess with your existing CS6 installation.
At this point, you're better off uninstalling all three versions, running the Adobe CS Cleaner and then re-installing CS6 from scratch.
I know, it sounds like a pain—and it is—but it will save you a lot of grief later on.

Creative Zen Micro Photo is Freezing in Recovery M

My Creative Zen Micro Photo was freezing at the Creative logo so I tried what the site told me too which was trying to "clean up" or "format all" in recovery mode but it freezes when I try to do either of those actions. Please help me.Message Edited by moody5665 on 03-7-200703:36 PM

do you hear a sound from the hard dri've like it's stuck? this is common. if so, please search this forum for "hard dri've whack" or "percussi've repair".

Just tried to install a new app and was told that I needed to "Agree to new Terms

Just tried to install a new app and was told that I needed to "Agree to new Terms & Conditions". When I hit OK, it brings me to a blank screen, so I can't accept them. What am I supposed to do?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Creative Cloud Desktop install crashes Windows Explorer and hangs

This all started with my inability to activate Adobe Acrobat on my computer after wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS.
I had no trouble initially downloading or installing anything from the Adobe Creative Cloud. I ran several apps and they worked (albeit in trial mode for a day or two)
And then the Initial Problem: Trying to Activate Adobe Acrobat failed to get pass the sign-in screen.
It would hang for about 30 minutes and then come back to the error that the computer's clock must be incorrect or an error with the Internet connection. (It's a standard error documented on Adobe's site that says you need to make sure your computer can really get to all of Adobe's activation servers/sites/etc. I double-checked everything in the troubleshooting list to be sure but found nothing wrong with the computer or the ability to get to Adobe's sites.
Exasperated. I went online for tech support. It was definately Level 1 support (had me checking all the stuff I had already spent an hour checking - and had already told him I tested it all).
Anyway, I spent an hour on the chat with Adobe Tech Support going through the usual stuff.
He had me check virus programs, computer clock, conenctions to Adobe sites (like the licensing servers). But nothing ever helped or worked. Then he told me to try going directly to the Adobe Creative Cloud site and trying to download and install the Creative Cloud desktop manager. I did that but it hangs when it launches the manager on the initial window with a black/grey Creative Cloud bar at the top (with the tool drop-down on the right side) but the rest of the window never loads.
After an hour of going in circles I decided it would be better to try again later with someone in second-level support.
In the meantime, I uninstalled ALL Adobe applications. There is no Flash-Player, no Acrobat Reader - nothing from Adobe in my programs list.
I then tried to download and install the Adobe Application Manager. It works up to the point where it launches the Creative Cloud Desktop tools and then hangs at the same place.
There is a Creative Cloud window with the normal black/grey bar at the top - but the rest of the window (where you would normally see and load the apps from) stays empty.
I have rebooted the computer several times to be sure it is a fresh start. That has not helped at all. One additional thing I have noticed in these multiple attempts is that when the Creative Cloud Desktop Manager installer gets about 95% done, it causes Windows Explorer to crash (not Internet Explorer but Windows Explorer). Once Windows Explorer resets, Creative Cloud continues the installation but then opens the window (above) that has nothing but the black/grey header.
I'm struggling for what to do next. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Right now I am paying $50 a month for something I can't even install or use.
For what it's worth, the system is an HP laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. 8GB of RAM and plenty of HDD space. All security updates applied and Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. I doubt that any of that last line is relevant since I could run all of this with no problem before wiping the hard drive AND it was all running with no problem - other than Activating Acrobat at the start of this whole issue.

Jim,
You are a lifesaver! I can't think of how many additional hours of frustration you just saved me - but Thank You!!
After posting, I had determined (like you said), that Explorer must be doing that for a reason. I created a new user profile on the system (added a user temporarily) and observed the same behavior of Windows Explorer (stopping/starting) but then continuing to work as it should. At that point I knew the answer was somewhere in the user's profile but I would have had no idea where to look. The opm.db file was indeed the culprit.
I sure do appreciate the excellent help.

Should I install "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSourc

I have the Play For Sure firmware on my Zen Touch, now I'm going to first install the driver on my computer, then install the creative media source, then the play for sure software suite, and then the media source CD plugin. Should I also install the Zen & Nomad Jukebox plugin afterward or that's only for ppl who haven't upgraded the firmware?
Thanks!

The "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource" is for those who have the non-PlaysForSure firmware. So, you do not need to install it.
