Creative Zen 2GB Software

COkay, I bought a 2GB Creative Zen four years ago. In those four years, I have bought a new computer, moved twice, and had my hardri've crash twice. So I don't have the software on my computer, nor do I have the CD to install the software. What can I do now to get the software on my computer?

Hello Sphinx88,

Creative Zen Micro Software Iss

I've had my Creative Zen Micro for almost a year now, and I installed the software on my computer. But a couple weeks ago, my family bought a new computer. I've lost the cd to install the zen organizer and I was wondering what I could do?
Am I out of luck? Or is there software I can download to get it on the new computer.
You can send comments to [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
Thanks so much.

Creative Zen V software compatibil

Hi All,
I purchased a Creative Zen V from the UK which included the bundled software on a cd. Unfortunately the software is compatible with Windows XP. I have Windows 2000 and am unable to install the software. I have searched the internet but come up empty. Any advice other than changing my OS Thanks.

I know that it's not what you want to hear but the requirements for your player state WinXP SP or higher. It's because it is treated as an MTP device and needs the features built into WinXP for that to work.
There is some info in the Knowledge Base about using the EasyStart CD that you should have got so go there and search for SID83.

Problem with Creative Zen Micro software detecting certain C

Hi,
I hope someone can help me. I recently purchased a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player. So far, I have very few complaints, apart from the fact that while travelling on the bus, it won't seem to detect any radio stations.
The problem re: the software though is that it will only detect the last track on three of my CD's. None of these CD's are damaged in any way, but all are from the same record label. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how I might be able to transfer these albums onto my player?
Thanks a lot.

My zen micro problem:
Brief Problem description :.When I put a battery in the Zen micro, it automaticly turn on andshow "hardware problem" and freezed.2. If I connect to power adapter, i it automaticly turn on and show"hardware problem" and freezed.3. If I connect to my computer via usb cable, my computer can not findthe player and the player do not turn on even I switch on. As long asI put the battery in it, it automaticly turn on and show "hardwareproblem" and freezed. My computer still can not find it. I'm sure thecomputer and usb cable is working because all of my other device isworking ( include mouse, keyboard, logitech web camera, canon digitalcamera, samsung 52MB mp3). I try to take off all of theother usb equipements and the zen micro still not work. I can not rewrite the firmware because the zen micro freezed at"hardware problem" and my computer can not find it.

Creative zen 2gb, stuck in recovery mode HE

I got my creative zune 2gb about a month ago and it's been perfectly fine. I use a mac computer so I downloaded XNJB that someone provided on this forum. Everything's been fine excpet for yesterday when i turned it on to use it was in "Recovery Mode" It goes on to say there was a firmware error with four options: clean up, format all, update firmware, and reboot. I have tried selecting all of the options, but it just brings me back to the "Recovery Mode" menu. At the top of the menu it says: v.2.0_0.3. ?
At this point i have searched EVERWHERE for a solution, but none of them work. I've tried letting the battery run out, using the reset button, and hitting it gently. I'm not sure if you can take the bettery out and how? Also, since I have a mac I cannot update the firmware or delete any files. HELP!?!

I did the exact same thing. The problem is when you selected update firmware...you deleted the firmware you had on your player.

try going here and updating it. That should fix your problem...then just select reboot, and it should go back to normal

Creative Zen Touch Software Install Er

Just received thi today. Start the install, gets almost to the end and the following error occurs:
CTRegSrr Error
Missing File: \Creative\Shared Files\PDEJB.pid
I hit okay, and it continues but it never asks me to plug in the machine or anything. It tells me to reboot, I do, try to launch the program and it states that the program directory cannot be found.
Any ideas?

pagancub,
I have a Zen Touch 20gb and I know your problem. I had exactly the same one. It is an currupted file on the cd or possibly or maybe in a temp folder on your HDD. You should go to Nomadworld.com and download Nomad Explorer, then it should find it without any problems. Also, download the lastest drivers etc. and install them according to the directions on the sitea nd you'll have no problems

Zen 2GB Battery Issue - Please help!

$? I bought two Creative Zen 2GB as their battery life is up to 30 hours. I have a Microsoft Zune and it gets the 4 hours listed but both of the Zen's only get 0- hours per full charge. I fully charge, then run the recovery tool and run disk clean up, format, new firmware. I then add all mp3's at 28 bitrate, EQ off, bass off and keep the volume on 3. In the setup I the brightness down as far as it will go at 0%, I think you should be able to set it to 0%. But what am I missing to only get 0-2 hour max on these two new units? I recently read about Idle shutdown, but yesterday I charged the Zen 8 hours to be sure, then with all the optimal settings I cut it on at 0pm and let it run througout the night and at 9am it had very little charge left...please help with any ideas/suggestions as I just get links from Creative tech telling me things I am already doing.

Excellent, thanks for the replies and I read about the lock function online but it said for 4GB and up I think, but not 2GB. I thought, even with the screen at the lowest, 0% that it was too much lcd and a battery drainer...thanks!
Yes, I have the 2G ZEN player and it does have the "lock function" (often on the Creative's web site they neglect to mention the 2G) - I "lock it" every time I listen to my audio books. By using this function it "closes" (blackens) ?the LCD screen and saves the battery considerably.
When I first bought this player it was the first time I had an internal battery, all the other ones I had used -AAA battery. I was hesitant about using the type of battery in the ZEN player but I can listen ALL day and ALL night and still have battery life left. Then I recharge the battery in the wee hours of the morning, ready to listen to more books and music that day.
Just some thoughts,

CREATIVE ZEN TOUCH - CUSTOMER SERVICE WONT H

CREATIVE, i will never ever buy another product from you again and will encourage all others not to buy from you because of your poor customer service. My problem is not with the product as such, i own a Creative Zen Touch and until about?6 weeks ago everything was going fine, when i formatted my harddri've. It was then i relised i had misplaced my Zen Touch software CD, so as you'd expect the first place to look would be this website.. off i go looking around the store and customer support, i even sent an email.. to be fair i did receive an automated response about tunring off the Zen and trying again (useless when i need a software cd howevere), so i waited a while (a week) to see if they'd reply - which they didn't. So, i then sent another which ended with the same result., and then again with the same results. Just now i finally called customer support (paying intl call-rates) and all i got was an automated response telling me to log onto the customer-support page on the website. ARGHH!!?Basically if anyone, ANYONE can please please tell me where i can get the Creative Zen Touch software CD it would very very very very very appreciated as i go on holiday in two weeks and i don't really want to fork out more cash on an I-Pod or I-Pod alternati've (never again will i buy Creative).

Clearly, this is not true.
Despite seeing everywhere that "firmware available via USB from creative.com" the Creative Sleek Photo has no firmware that is available online anywhere and when you ask, everyone from customer support talks to you as if you have 5 heads for even suggesting that it should be available like anything else is.
This IS ridiculous and I too, have no more interest in Creative products despite purchasing my last 2 MP3 players from this brand, I'm done with this mess. It's frustrating beyond belief that a simple fix turns into a huge fiasco all because the company has no real rhyme or reason for failing to offer any support for a product, instead forcing you to send said product in the mail to take weeks for something that otherwise take a few minutes.
Truly absurd.

My Zen 2gb wont even start up anymore

Hello,?When i inserted my Creative Zen 2GB and was planning on removing some music from it..i picked out the music folders and pressed <delete>, so it started deleting, but at some point it didn't go on for 0 minutes so i did?<ctrl> + <alt> + <delete> and i closed down the process manually. Then i pulled out my Creative Zen and it did NOT go to its menu's again it kept saying? <Connected> (with the PC). Then i tried to plug it back in and again and again but it had no result, it kept saying <connected>.After i while i quited trying and was looking at my Zen when i saw the <reset> button on the side. I pressed this with a blunt needle and the sreen went black...and now i cant Boot it up or do anything with it, when i plug it into my PC i DO here a sound that something got connected but my Zen's sreen doesn't light up. So please, does anyone have ANY suggesting on how to solve this problem?Should i get it repaired or...
Please help,?Mark

I Tried now, but it seems my Zen doesn't work anymore, because if i try to turn it on, on the side, the blue light doesn't pop on :S..and there is no-way i can get to the battery because this Zen doesn't contain any screws..so i cant check if that is the problem.

Creative Zen Micro Quest

I have a white 5 gig Zen Micro and i love it but...............can someone please tell me how you synch up with Microsoft Outlook.... so that i can use the calender, contacts, and to-do-list features...........also, i've tried going throught the zen micro media explorer but it always tells me the device is connected, although it is, why does this happen and does it have anything to do with me using the latest firmaware (Creative Zen Micro *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware 2.00.2 )...........help is appreciated.
Thank you.

big_d5,
If you had update the MTP firmware for the player, you will also need to update the Zen Micro Media Explorer to support the MTP version. Go to the driver page and look for this Zen Micro Media Explorer .00. for Creative Zen Micro (Software Update Package for Zen Micro Players with *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware).

Creative Zen and Creative Media Sourc

A couple of years back I bought a creative MP3 player and it came with Creative Zen Touch software. Just recently I purchaed a new laptop that came with Creative Media Source 5. I used to use the Creative Zen Touch to load my music cds and transfer files from my computer and my MP3 player. My question is since now I have Creative Media Source 5 (along with Creative Li've! Cam and Sound Blaster Audigy) do I even need to load the Creative Zen Touch software on my new laptop inorder to transfer music files from my MP3 player and my laptop. Thank you in advance.

Ok.... I tried many times to put the PlaysForSure "firmware" on my actual player (I have version .0.03). The problem is I can not figure out how to actually put the firmware onto my MP3 player. Can someone please help me with this as I am leaving for Iraq VERY soon and I need to get the MP3 player to be recognized by Creative 5 and Windows Vista (32-bit). Thanks in advance.

If you're new laptop is a Vista system, you won't have to load any software drivers for the Touch, but you'll have to update your Touch to PlaysForSure firmware since Creative doesn't do Vista drivers for the MP3 players. If your laptop is an XP system, and you're on V.x firmware, you'll need to load the drivers so that MediaSource can recognize the Touch.
