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

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.

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

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.

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?

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 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

Creative Media Toolbox, should I use it?

Okay, so I installed Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium awhile back and noticed that there is a game mode vs. an entertainment mode. After doing some research I found out that there is some software that allows me to switch between these without necessarily having to go directly into the sound card settings manually to do so. So my question is as follows: Does anyone know if the settings change between entertainment and game mode automatically? If not, do you think I should use it? I ask because I am setting up my computer again and want to know some of the more complicated ins and outs for the sound card (note: I am not exactly a noob at computers, just with sound cards). So if anyone could give me some information, it would be greatly appreciated.

I think the modes will not switch automatically as that is case for my X-Fi Go! Pro. I just use one of the modes and adjust the Surround and Crystalizer effects to the level I want.

Creative Media Toolbox

hello. I am having problems using this software. I am wanting to use the equalizer section but I'm not able to add music.
I clicked on music file then music but it only shows the file where the music is stored: It does not open further so that I can add individual tracks. Same thing with all the other sections of the program. It simply does not see my music files.

I think the modes will not switch automatically as that is case for my X-Fi Go! Pro. I just use one of the modes and adjust the Surround and Crystalizer effects to the level I want.

Cannot transfer files using Creative Media Sou

I cannot Cannot transfer files using from my PC to my Creative Jukebox 0GB using Creative Media Source. Since I installed Windows Media Player 0, it seems that Windows Media Player 0 is the only program enabled to transfer files to my creative Jukebox. I would just go ahead and use Media Player, but Media Player won't let me change my library to one designated music file folder location. Media Player wants to find every copy of the same song on my system and is very difficult to use to transfer the files to my Jukebox device. Is there any fix to make Creative Media Source the preferred (or only) program used to transfer the files from PC to device?

i am having a similar problem, although i have not downloaded windows media player 0. The creative mediasource software wont let me transfer songs onto my zen touch (20G). i only got the player a couple of days ago and it only has about 400 songs on it so far so there's no problem with the memory. I had problems before where it wouldnt let me upload anything that began with a letter after 's' in the alphabet! i solved this (no idea how) but the problem seems to have come back and now it wont let me up load anything. When i atempt to, it comes up with the prompt "unable to read file. file may be in use, missing or corrupted." (which they arent as far as i know) I also, for some reason, cannot play any songs through creative mediasource - even though i could a few hours ago!
Please could someone help as this is very frustrating!!!!!!

Windows Vista--again- Cannot install Creative Media Sou

Hello. I have a Zen Microphoto. I bought a new computer running window vista home premium 32 bit. I have been tryng to install the creative media source 5 to manange my music and playlists. I prefer this over Media Player. Every time I try to install the program, the setup program stalls with an error message, "searching for installed components" I have tried installing the program with the ZEN plugged into different USB ports and I have tried deleting the driver from the device manager and reinstalling it. Can anyone help me with this??

I would work through the reset procedures given under the various FAQ threads and then try the firmware upgrade again after getting it out of recovery mode as that seems to be the issue. There seem to be a number of threads with things to try. I would not give up but first work through the various suggestions to get it out of recovery mode. Then post separately re the recovery mode problem to see if anyone has ideas for solving that first. Did it go into recovery mode immediately after the firmware upgrade? Will it let you try to do the firmware again?When I connect it takes about 20 secs before the player is recognized by media player. In terms of transfer to your own laptop - do you have a burner on the friends PC for burning a DVD or 2. Or a slower way is multiple transfers using a USB memory stick.

Can't install Creative Media Lite - Clash with Windows XP Home SP

Zen Stone GB. Firmware: .6..
My PC: AMD Athlon 3200+, Windows XP SP3, IE7, Windows Media Player .0.572.5230
Can't install Creative ZEN Stone Starter Pack ..08.
When InstalShield runs I get the following message:

I've check that my system spec. meets Media Lite requirements and suspect a clash with XP SP3.
Any suggestions on how to complete the installation of Media Lite will be much appreciated.

Here's 2 messages from Creative Customer Support. Looks like there may be a clash with SP3 so, 'Come on Guys', let's get it fixed.
I will be forwarding this to our ASG, and we will be looking more into this matter. And we would probably have a patch released for this issue in the near future. Best Regards,Creative Customer Support ServicesCreative Labs Europe
I was able to talk to our Advanced Support Group (ASG) regarding this issue. And according to them, that it might be possible that SP3 would be the reason why you are unable to install the Creative ZEN Stone Starter Pack. According to our ASG, that the main difference between SP2 and SP3 is network security feature called Network Access Protection, which scans the integrity of a computer before connecting to a corporate network, which is absolutely useless for end users at home. As being one more security feature in Windows XP, this can possibly cause various problems with multimedia applications.

Creative Media Source 5 Install Problems

(Creative Media Source 5 Install ProblemsM I've looked through some of the other install issues and can't seem to find my problem, but apologize if this is somewhere I did not find... I had installed and have been running CMS5 on my desktop for a while. Recently I had to reformat my hard dri've and reinstall Windows from scratch. Upon trying to install CMS5 on my Windows XP SP3 system, I got a bunch of errors basically saying something to the effect of "Installation is unable to continue because of one or more unresolved issues....."? Then it lists a file TagMgru.mft. After cancelling that error, they continue to come up for Id3Tagu.mft, WmaTagu.mft, OggTagu.mft, Mp4Tagu.mft. The error message comes up twice for each of the listed files, and then the installation does not complete. Any ideas? I was using an install file downloaded from Creative's [email protected]

Yes I realize that--I'm thinking more specifically that CMS5 doesn't play well with SP3? The problem with your solution is that I don't like WMP. At least, I don't like the fact that you can't play your music straight from your device. You have to sync your device and copy all of your music onto your hard dri've to play from the device connected to the computer. That was mainly what I used CMS5 for--playing music directly from my device through the computer?without having to copy all of its contents onto my hard dri've. I keep my music stored on my Zen Microphoto so it doesn't take up space on my computer...
I would Google the errors & see what comes up.. I'm fairly certain that Sp3 probably included WMP with it so that may be the source of the conflict if you installed it. Since it was a reinstall I don't know if you'll be able to install WMP0 instead.You could try that & see if that hel
ps.
If you don't have backup copies of your music(cd or external dri've)you should do so. If the player's hardri've ever fails for whatever reason at least you will have an archi've & not lose all your files.

Creative Media Source won't install

I just bought a Zen Microphoto and I was anxious to upload my songs on the forementioned player. However as I tried to install Creative MediaSource which I downloaded from this very site, I encountered a strange problem.
I clicked on the setup and my PC proceeded to extract the files, and when the setup screen loads up, there's a message saying "Looking for previously installed components" and there are two setup screens minimized to my taskbar (CMS web installer and Creative Media Source - Install Shield Wizard) Whenever I click either of them nothing will happen. I'm pretty confused about this.
I'm sure it's not my hardware because my PC is up to date and I never had problems of the likes. I browsed the forums for an answer and I've heard of a software conflict with quicktime, I followed the advices with no results. I'm pretty desperate right now and I can't wait to use my Zen MicroPhoto. Did anyone encounter a problem similar to this?

Hi MusicoftheNight-
I had a similar issue when downloading the PlayForSure software for my Zen Touch. What I ended up doing was something I found in another thread. Download the installer, then use Winzip or Winrar and make an archi've of it. Unzip or Unrar it to another folder and then go into each folder and run the setup icons individually.
This is the only thing that worked for me.
When I needed to update just Mediasource I installed it in safe mode.
My computer is up to date and everything as well but this is the only thing that worked. Good luck!

Sound blaster Audigy LS, creative media center and creative playcenter wont install on

Hello. I have a sound blaster Audigy LS card in my computer, it came as a bundle in my Sony Vaio that I bought in october of last year. I wanted to download the creative media center, or the creative playcenter. I went through the process of downloads and support and tried to run them on my computer it either says Setup is unable to detect supported product on your system. Click retry button to redirect your device and continue the installation. I've tried clicking retry and and the same message comes up. I have Screenblast Sound Forge . for VAIO and Screenblast ACID 4.0 for VAIO and wonder if thos two audio programs (came with the computer also) are in conflict with installing creative products? The operating system i am using is windows xp media center edition version 2002. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me.

Hi All,
I am pretty much in the same boat but with an Audigy 2 Value Sound Card.
Removed some old piece of rubbish card (6MB Aztech PCI 288 Q3D using a Trident 4DWave-NX Chip.... yes about 6 yrs old !) in my daughters pc and replaced it with the new one.
Same error message i.e. hardware not detected... ihave already posted as im trying to find and install the right drivers. I have also tried the PCI-slot hopping etc etc.
So what next people ?

Problems installing Creative Media Explo

I just purchased the Creative Zen 8gb flash player. The box lists system requirements: Windows XP (Service Pack 2) which I have. However, when I went to install the Creative media explorer an error message came up: Not compatible with Windows versions older than 2005. I know I'm working with an older windows version and that's why I check the system requirements prior to purchase. Creative seemed to leave out that the windows version needed to be 2005 or newer. My windows version is Windows XP media center with service pack 2. I went to the windows site and I states that my windows service pack 2 is up to date. The installation process with the CD that came with the player was also a disaster. Had to reboot 7 times and my system stated that windows had serious errors afterwards. I consider myself an medium to advanced technical computer user and can't imagine a person trying to do this with low technical knowledge. This shouldn't be this hard!
Uggh... I'm quite aware that @pple sells 4 out of 5 MP3 players today. I'm starting to understand why now. If I can't get the player to communicate with my pc it is of no value to me and therefore will have to return for a refund and eat the shipping cost. That is, if Creative will refund as I haven't started that process yet. How frustrating

I got the same problem. I might know the cause of this, I downloaded windows media player , it might have messed up some things.... However I really don't know how to fix this. Previous files could be converted but now I can't convert those same files anymore. And this was after I installed Windows Media Player , thats the only thing I can think of...
