Creative Zen Microphoto 8GB hangs

Hello,
I have seen a lot of posts on the same subject here, but have not seen any resolution yet.
I am sure the story sounds familiar... hangs at "Creative" logo, I go into recovery mode, and run scan disk or format etc... They don't work. I have even left the player on "formatting" overnight until the battery drains and it never finishes, same goes for "Scanning".
I am on my 4th player now and am having the same issue again. This time the player is now out of warranty so I can't return it, and I am not paying money out of my own pocket to get this thing fixed. Please don't tell me this product is defecti've... I don't buy that excuse. And it isn't a corrupt file, because a reformat would fix that.
Once it hangs, my computer won't recognize it, so I can't even try to update the firmware or anything.
Any new updates or information on this issue? It is obviously a well documented problem...just google "Creative zen freezes" and see how any hits you get!
I am pretty disappointed with this player. I should have followed my gut instinct in the first place, and just bought an iPod. I spent a lot of money on this paper weight. Any help,advice,prayers,or donation$ (for a new iPod) would ge greatly appreciated!

Right you will need to download the latest firmware from this site.
Here is a hyperlink to where you can download the firmware:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...lect=4&x=9&y=2
You might have to put some details in.
Once you have downloaded the latest firmware just start the program up.
Plug in your Zen into the PC and then press the "Reload Firmware" button on your Zen.
You should see your computer screen pick it up.
Then you click on your PC to install firmware.
That should be it.
I hope this hel
ps.
Got any questions you have just post on this space.
I do apologise if this does not make much sence my grammer is not that brilliant.

Creative Zen Microphoto half-instal

Hi, I have a zen microphoto and I was installing the software + drivers + stuff onto my computer and there was a power cut halfway through installing, now there is a creative folder in Program Files (presumably only half full) but no listing on the Add/Remove software tool and when I try to reinstall, it doesn't launch the installer and instead just says Creative Zen MicroPhoto was successfully installed, even though it wasn't.

same problem here, creative logo stays until all the juice is drained

Zen Microphoto Problem!! Help plea

Ok, so i've got blue microphoto. It has been working great during a year. But now theres a problem. When i connect it to my computer, and try to move music there with MicroPhoto Media Explorer, it says: "Your player is not connected. Please connect your Creative Zen Microphoto to the computer." But it is connected correctly. It has been working before. I have tried to install the cd few times, but it doesnt help. What shall i do?

Well. I did this: Start -> Run.. -> devmgmt.msc
Then look for microphoto from the list, then click that update thing up in buttons when u have selected that player. Then look for updates with internet. That program connects to the windows update thing, and finds an update. Its something like that has 3 letters in beginning and first is M.. i mean the updates name. Then it wokrked.

Creative ZEN MX problems with charging battery

/Creative ZEN MX problems with charging batteryHi!
I've bought Creative Zen MX player a couple months ago. First thing I noticed when I plug in it into my computer was that battery after 3 hours was not full, what is more computer disconnected with it couple times;/
After weeks or two when I tried to charge it i Went where I bought it and they said after some examination that it really didn't work
They've sent it to the service. I had t wait for the return two months!!! and at the end they said that that tiny usb wire was damaged not mp3.
OK . The battery was fully charged maybe on 5 attempts ;/
There is no problem in my computer because I tried it on several other and it did not work ;/ ?Please, help me
Where is the problem?
?Why this player simply disconnect with my PC?

I was given this as a gift. I charged it for 8hrs when i got it and it showed fully charged. I have been trying to give it a full charge over the last 2 days once on a power adapter plugged into the wall the other through the USB port on my laptop .each for about 8hrs each. Using different cables. I remove the player and it shows full battery (never gives the plug icon though)and within 30 minutes of play music, I get the low battery warning. it was purchased on 0/6/200. nAlso it will not power on while charging.My original ZEN was able to play music when charging this one says DOCKED and will not repond to the power button being presses.

Creative Zen MicroPhoto has cras

My Creative Zen MicroPhoto fell foot onto the floor.
When i restarted- it compiled library for a 0 seconds and then continues to open as normal.
All my music and recordings do not appear in the menu system anymore. When i do a system check my stuff still takes up 3gb of storage but no files appear.
I have tried rebooting and clean up etc but still no joy.
I have tried the Recovery tool - but my laptop does recognize the device when i connect using USB.
Some of the recording of lectures and conferences are important to me.
Is there anyway of retrieving these?
thanks,

How are you transferring the music? Can you describe exactly what you do? For instance what software you use, what steps you follow to transfer the music...

Creative Zen Microphoto Not Detec

Hello all,
I bought a Creative Zen Microphoto yesterday and when I try and plug it in to my USB port nothing happens. I've tried holding the on/off button, I've tried it when it's on. I've tried all of my USB Ports. I've tried it on two different computers.
My computers are running Windows XP with Service Pack 2. I've disabled Norton while trying all of the above. Before plugging my mp3 player in I installed all the software that come on the CD.
Just to clarify this:
The Microphoto won't charge, be detected, etc while in the USB port. It runs fine off my PC ( plays the pre-installed songs, etc ) but as I cannot plug it in to my PC to charge it, add, songs, etc I cannot add my own songs.
Windows doesn't even pop up saying new hardware has been detected, or a USB device has been detected. It just remains how it was before I plugged the device in to my PC.
My computer doesn't show it in removalable devices, nor in Windows Media Player 0.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.Message Edited by Kemik on 07-3-2006 05:3 AM

Try this, go into the Control Panel and click Add/Remove Hardware. Just click next and see if it detects newly added hardware.
Can your computer detect any old flash dri've?

Creative Zen MicroPhoto/animated GI

[color="#6633ff">Hey, you guys, I was wondering if Creative Zen MicroPhotos[size="3" color="#6633ff"> are compatible with animated GIFs. They classify as a really short video for me. They're still pictures, but it's like a small scene that replays over and over. I found one of Napoleon Dynamite dancing, and I would love to have it as my player's background!
Thx.
<3 ya!

Nope, don't think so.

Creative Zen Microphoto: Operating Syst

Guys,
Am I right in saying that I cannot use windows 2000 operating system on the Creative Zen Microphoto?
Is there any way around this? I now have a Zen Microphoto sitting in a box, useless to me because I only have Windows 2000!!!!
Marc Smith,
Dublin.

MarcSmith, I am not sure if you got it in your box. But I know it came in my box (I bought it at bestbuy, if it matters).
If you can return it even if it is open, then I say go ahead and open the box and look for a CD called Easy Start (it is microsoft). Instail that and you should be able to use it under media player 9. I also tried Media Monkey and it worked, so I think you can use any software that supports the player, after you instal the easy start cd.
You can now also charge the player using your computer.
