Creative Zen V not work

Hello,?I've purchased a Creative Zen V 2 GB, the first time I used it it freezed at "rebuilding library". I could not do anyting, I could not reset it either, so I sent it back. A few weeks later I received the player again, I put some music on and it worked fine. But right now, it is again freezed at "rebuilding library" for?2 days. I had to recharge the battery, but it still isn't working. I tried to reset the player but that doesn't work so I also can't get to the trouble menu. My computer also does not recognize the player anymore. Does anyone else have these kinds of problems? What should I do?

Re-formatting worked for me. Also only transferring wma lossless files has kept my player from freezing. For some reason it would not accept numerous wav or mp3 files using both the Creative software and Windows media player . Two weeks and counting with just loading wma's and no continued freezes. Good luck.

MY CREATIVE ZEN M NOT DETECED BY WINDOWS OR ZEN ME

HELLO, i have a serious situation here. i had my zen for about 3 months and i love it. but about 2 weeks ago, i wanted to transfer new music and video to my player. i noticed at first that not all my music shows in my zen media or my windows media. i do have all the componets to my cpu. i have windows xp serivce pak 2 and i have windows media 0. well n-e way, i also have real player. i pulled real player and i noticed that every piece of music and video i have was there. so i decided to sync it to my device using real. at first it transferred, so of course i get ready for bed and i noticed it was taking a while. so i figured when i get up it will be done. well it wasn't, it only transferred four songs and it downloaded everything from my cpu to my device. i had folders in there that i never seen. so i figured let me delete everything and start over, but using windows media. when i did that, it tells me that windows media player does not detect a portabel device, connect your device, and then try again. so i clicked on the web help option that comes with that error to see if they can give me some info. it gives me a code c00d79 and that is the reason why it is not connecting. so i searched the internet to see if i can anything comes under this code, join discussions and also email creative. alot of info i have found in the codes, but not this paritcular one. then i called dell techincal support because that is where i purshaced my zen. they couldn't help me. so today i went to the knowledge support and i found info on the same problem that i am experiencing. so i did everything. checked the device manager. my comp reads that the zen is there, but windows and media doesn't. so i did the back up regristy and also for the usb, still nothing. so it says to contact tech support and of course, there is none, unless u pay a fee. i work long hours and the hours are impossible for me to contact. the only way is if they work weekends and they dont. i am lost at this point. it will be 3 weeks exactly tomorrow that my zen is not working. i can not go another day without my device. i am starting to think i need to return my device for a new one. this is my last option. PLEASE HELP ME!!

Anyone who can help?
Please!
At least give me some ideas please.

They work just fine. whatever issues you have are specific, but without proper system info, browser info and other details nobody can even begin to guess.

Creative Zen 8GB not keeping accurate time on cl

Hello, I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems with thier Creative Zen's (mine is an 8GB) not keeping accurate time on the digital clock on the player? My firmware is .2.0 by the way. I have a fully charged battery and noticed yesterday that the time on my clock was way off and needed to be set once more. So I set it correctly yesterday, now 24 hours later, the time is again way off...it thinks it's :6 pm even though it's 0:20 pm as I post this message.
I have noticed this several times previously and have adjusted the clock accordingly each time...this is not just a random incident.
I have used the player for several hours today but the battery still has lots of charge left and the unit functions correctly minus this time issue.
Any feedback or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Drew

I too hope that if others are having this problem that they would add their comments to this thread. I know this is a rather small issue, but it is annoying none the less. I mean otherwise my player is rock solid. Yes I could turn off the display of the clock and not rely on it at all (now I don't because it's always wrong) but that means I am settling for a product that does not work as advertised with ALL it's features working correctly. I am being kind of picky but I just want the product to function correctly... I don't think that's being too out of the ordinary with my expectations.
Anyhow, to make a long story short, I have been issued an RMA number and plan on sending the player off to Creative here in Canada.
I promised to post a follow-up with a copy of what Creative has sent me for correspondence in case others are interested. Oh and just to be complete, here are my answers to the suggested self-troubleshooting methods in the following email - yes I am running the latest firmware release and I am a clock setting professional now because I have done it so many times.
I have also searched this forum for other users who may be having this issue and I did not find too many (I found this interesting). So that is why I created this thread. I am starting to notice, at least at this time, a few others who are having similar experiences as I-yup I agree I am not the first to have problems with my MP3 player nor the last. Just was curious to see if this was a common problem or if I was the lucky one of the bunch or one that people just didn't bother to report...
Regardless everyone's feedback is appreciated and respected.
Anyhow here is their email:

Creative Zen 16gig not compatible with Napster To

The product page clearly states this product is compatible with Napster To Go but when I open Napster and try to drag a song to the lower right hand corner it says my device is not compatible and needs a firmware upgrade. I JUST upgraded the firmware like 20min ago and my account is to-go activated. Is this false adertising or am I doing something wrong?

The software that came on the original CD is not supported on vista.
The Zen Micro will work nati'vely with Vista if it contains the latest firmware version. If the Zen Micro isn't being recognized by Vista then you will need to use an older system (windows xp) to upgrade the firmware on the Zen Micro. Once Vista recognizes the Zen Micro you should be able to download Vista compatable versions of the software for the device from the creative website.

Creative Centrale Does not work

Hi everyone!!
I've tried installing the Creative Centrale several times but everytime i try to start the application it says that the program needs to shut down and asks if i want to send an error report. I have quite a few videos that i'd really like to get on my new player but without Creative Centrale is there any way to do that. I also have Format Factory downloaded is there any way to use that to get the videos to work on this player?

I am having the same problems as the person who previously posted this but I do not want to transfer videos. I want my Zen mozaic to work because I cannot transfer any of the new songs I've downloaded until my Library opens up with the Creative Centrale program. I have had this Zen mosiac for several months and havent had a problem until the last 2 weeks. I tried the recovery tool but the same message board pops up saying the program cannot open and sorry for the inconvenience. Is there anything I can do?

Creative Zen Micro Not compatible with Windows Vi

My daughter has a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player, no video feature, just the the music player. She recently got a new computer that runs Windows Vista. She tried to install the program on her new computer, and it said the software was not compatible with Windows Vista. Does that mean I need to get new software from Creative Zen? to use the program on The computer running?Windows Vista? Any help would be appreciated..

Zen Micro not working, frozen when reboot

I recently purchased a zen micro 5g. For some strange reason my player froze I attempted to shut it off, it did not do it. So I removed the battery put it back in, the creative screen illuminated and was stuck there and makes a weird noise that is soft and can only be heard when I put my ear up to the battery when , I could still not shut it off w/out removing the battery. I did the recovery mode and each option I choose it gets stuck on. So I tried to download a firmware, followed the instructions?and all went well and I connected my device to my computer and it did not recognize it, the creative mediasource doesn't recognize it nor does my computer. But I know the cable works because I can connect it to the player and remove the battery and the screen stays on. This is very frustrating because I bought this recently after losing a Samsung. If no one here has a solution than can someone suggest how to return the product for repair or replacement sich I bought this about 3 weeks ago and it is still under warrentyMessage Edited by nub88 on 07-23-20070:53 PM

Did you download the right plugin for MediaSource? What firmware version are you using?
If you're using the v.xx PDE firmware, make sure you have downloaded and installed the following:
. Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
2. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
3. Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource
4. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
Install , then connect the player to the PC. Then install 2, 3 and 4 (the player must be connected for 2 to verify you have a Creative product).

Zen Micro not working, neither Recovery M

Hi people,
I had been having problems with my player for more than a year and I left it over. Now i'm trying to make it work
First of all, the player gets stuck in its white screen.
Then, when I go recovery mode, I can't choose any option, and lately it's has been loosing bright also
When I try to connect it to the PC, it's recognized as a Generic usb device, but with malfunctions
The strange thing is that, after trying many many times, I had been able to choose "format" in the RM, but then it was 'formatting' more than any day without any new. Player was not full, neither dropped.
BTW, It's very difficult for me to send it back to Creative since I'm from Argentina. I bought it in Chicago maybe 3 years ago, and it didn't worked more than 6 months
If it's useful, I'm able to read that the FW is v.0.0.58
I'm looking forward to have a solution soon
Regards, zAnteeh

Zen Sleek not working on windows 2

My New Zen sleek is not working on windows 2000. IT says that this product doesn't run on this operating system but in the requierements on the creative website it says that windows 2000 can be used. ANy ideas?. THe only recognization i get is a yellow question mark next to the devices name

*sigh*
The Zen Sleek was originally shipped with 2 versions. One that works with Windows XP systems only which US/Canada consumers got. And one that works with Windows 2000, which other countries such as Europe got. This has since been changed and now all countries worldwide are getting the Windows XP only models. It seems that Marketing and IT didn't communicate properly and now we have some false advertisements going on with the Sleek and the Micro. Both devices are shipping with support for Windows XP right out of the box. Despite what the label says or what the website says of Windows 2000/98/ME support.
You <i>can</i> get it working with Windows 2000, however you need the "Easy CD". If your package did not include such as CD then you cannot get it working under Windows 2000.
I would think that Creative is in for some serious problems if someone finds a good lawyer.

Creative Inspire 6600 Not Working Properly!

Hi
I bought my Inspire 6600 6.1 about 1 year and 3 months ago. Since recently my speakers have stopped working from time to time, for example the speakers will not work at all one day the next day it will work perfectly. The problem is that the speakers wont give any sound out, will be very low sound, high amount of static and it will jump from speaker to speaker (I Cant Explain The Problem Properly). I am really disappointed with how long these speakers lasted (How long the speakers didn?t last). It seems to be a complete waist of money because as soon as the warranty expires the speakers stop working. Now I may have to purchase a new set of speakers, one thing I will garniture you that I won't buy Creative Speakers Again. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please help!
Thank You

it seams to me that creative had had a lot of trouble with their 6.1 range, both the 6600 and the 6700 have major problems with them and this kind of thing happens. i just gave up fixing mine and bought me a set of p5800 which are fantastic, downgrading from the 6.1 to 5.1 wasnt nice but im happy with it now. honestly mate i dont think its all creative speakers that have this problem just the 6600 and the 6700.but if you are going to buy another set of creative speakers have a search for them on the forum first, see if people and if so how many people have a problem with them. that way you have a better idea.

Creative X-fi not working in Vi

I installed Vista upgrade and no matter what I do I cant get any sound. Ive installed, uninstalled, reinstalled a dozen times and I still cant get sound. I get the speaker in the bottom right that says "No Audio Output Device is installed". I even booted in safe mode and ran driver cleaner to make sure there was a fresh install of the drivers and same thing. I looked on the creative forums but I couldn't get any info there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have used so many Asus boards over the years that myhouse is still occupied by three. This problem is everywherethe only the X-FI Extreme is rumoured to be free of it. Theavailable betas simply do not work. I have tried normalinstallation, Safe Mode installation, registry hacks to enableinstallation, manual installation but still the?OS will notrecognise the driver?file. It also gets better Creative are sayingthat no final build drivers will be available for either 32 Bit or 64 BitVista until March. I know you have onboard codec chips on theseboards so I would?disable the Creative and fire up the codec soundthere are drivers?available for both 32 Bit and 64 Bit Vista and thesework. Its a waiting game I am afraid but to be honest Creativesattitude regarding this issue is arrogant and it stinks. N. T.W.
