Are there any drivers or is there any possible way in which i can use my mp3 player with 98se?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Win98SE is not supported.

Creative zen touch & windows vista 32 bit

Can anyone tell me which Firmware or software I need to install so that I can get my mp3 player working again. Have Windows Vista 32 bit, and Creative Zen Touch with about 5 gigs worth of music on, which is now stuck on it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in the same boat as you. I have a zen neeon. Tried running the program, all the set up prompts seem to work, but the program is nowhere to be found after "installation".
I don't want to have to buy another player, seeing this one has 200 songs in it. (which is nothing compared to your 5 gigs!Would be a real pain in the ar$e.

Creative Zen Micro & Windows 7

Well, I got one of the older Zens (Copyright 2004), and had it working so I could transfer music to and from my tower. However, I have recently sold that tower, and traded to a laptop. When I try to install the drivers, it will not read, and will not allow me to get the music I have on there (over 500 songs!). I don't want ot have to redo all of my audio library, however it would appear that I cannot access it in anyway.
I have tried the driver updates & installing Creative Zen's player, however it will not allow me to due the the fact that I am on Windows 7 it would appear. Can anyone help me out here? I have somewhere else I want to put my music, just can't get it off the old one.

Creative Zen Micro: Windows process keeps player b

Hi,
Usually, after synchronizing my player through Windows MP, my Zen Micro goes back to the state where you can select and play songs (so not the state with the two arrows). However, lately, after shutting down WMP it stays in the state with two arrows. Only when I shut down my machine, it returns to the original state, leading me to believe some process must keep the Zen from returing to the operational state.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?
I'm using FW 2..2 on a WinXP machine.
Many thanks in advance.

Yep, that's it basically. I think it's an inherent "problem" (feature?) with MTP. Just make sure no applications are using the player, but that should be obvious.
Its actually the programs fault and its normally Microsoft made ones. It doesnt close off the session with the device so thats why it still keeps it busy.
Real Player does close off the session everytime, and so does MusicMatch, as alternati've programs.

Includes an MTP Monitor utility to see exactly what goes on behind the scenes of every data transaction that your computer and your PlaysForSure device does. Its interesting and I found that Windows Explorer/My Computer and Windows Media Player 0 are the only programs which do not end the session when they are closed.

Creative Zen 8GB Windows XP SP2 Connection Is

I've had my Zen 8GB for about 3 months now and have had no problems, but today all of a sudden Windows XP SP2 gives me a code 0 This device cannot start error.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the player in device manager and Windows will recognize it for about 30 seconds and then it will stop working again. If I'm very quick, I can add songs and transfer files within that 30 second window using ZEN Media Exploer, but afterwards it just disappears again, usually in mid file transfer. I can also get Windows to recognize the device if I tell it to update driver, then it installs the driver and it works again for another 30 seconds. I have tried using different USB ports and different USB cables but they all give me the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Dissension,
Try to access the Recovery Mode of your unit, select Clean Up and Reboot. If that doesn't help, try connecting your unit to other PC and then download the updated firmware.
Here's the link also for some info and workaround on the Code 0 error.
Hope this hel
ps.

Creative Zen 4GB incompatible with Windows Xp 64b

I cant get my new 4GB zen to work with my Windows XP 64 bit. As far as i am aware i've downloaded all the neccesary drivers from Creative, but still no joy. Upon inserting the CD that came with the Zen i get 'The windows operating system is not supported' and i am unable to see my Creative zen plugged in the 'My computer' display. It could just be me thats missed something blatantly obvious, or am missing a download (If anyone could link the drivers, just incase i've missed something id be most grateful) If anyone could help me out here id be most thankful Cheers Buldyman

I have 2 8G Zens and a 4G Zen and they all seem fine under Vista 64bit, but I've not tried them under XP 64bit.
Do they show up as devices in the device manager with an exclamation point?
I did notice under 32bit XP that they showed up as MTP devices until I installed WMP (Windows Media Player) . After that, they simply showed up like a USB dri've which is what I wanted. If you are still running an older version of WMP, upgrading to the latest version () may help.

Creative Zen Touch 20GB - Windows Vista

(Creative Zen Touch 20GB - Windows Vista6 Hi folks,
My old computer running XP recently gave up on me and I now have a new computer using Vista.
I have lost the cd I got with my Zen Touch as it was over 5 years ago now but it still works perfectly!
I want to set up Creative Media Player on Vista so I can start transferring music again but I have heard that if I download the firmwear I will lose all the songs that are currently stored. I really don't want this to happen as most of my music was contained on my old PC and it will be very hard to locate it all again so if there was a way I could just set up Creative Media Player the same way I had it before, without losing all my current music, that would be great!
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Pob

Creative Zen install CD doesn't work on Windows 7 / 64 bit

My installation CD for my Creative Zen will not load on my new pc - Windows 7 / 64 bit. I tried downloading Media Source from website, it seemed to work but would not recognize my zen when connected. Please help

Thanks!
I figured out how to get Creative mediasource on Windows 7 by using the 5.26.02 version but it won't recognize my Zen Touch. Further searching brought up using the Plays for Sure Plugin 5.00.36 but was warned that it wipes my Zen clean to install updated firmaware. Will the pack you linked do the same?
I'm guessing I should back up my current library in any case. As soon as I figure that out on my old XP pc, I will forge ahead.

Creative Zen Portable Media Center + Windows 7 = Good Stuff

Found my old Creative Zen Portable Media Center the other day while cleaning. I had put it aside since I found the process of moving/converting AVIs to it really cumbersome. Just for fun I hooked it up to my new laptop running Windows 7. It found the device instantly and loaded drivers.
Then came the best part, from Windows Media Center I am now effortlessly able to move my AVI movie files onto the
Creative Zen Portable Media Center. Mind you, they still get converted but all that happens in Windows Media Center, no more wonky 3rd party stuff.
Then I was able to play those movie files on my Creative Zen Portable Media Center. Yes, woohoo!? I don't have to donate it after all.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing Sprung. Welcome on board!

Creative Zen Sleek Photo & Windows Vi

Since all new computers come standard with Vista, I can't download any of my Creative software because it is not compatible with Vista. Is there any kind of?download update or file that I can get so that I can make the software compatible and install it's

You do not need to install the software on the disc. The driver is nati've to the Vista OS. Windows Media Player can Sync to the player rip cds, ect.

A Creative Zen MP3 Player which can work on Windows 2

Hi,
I am wanting to get a Creative Zen MP3 player (or two) which can work with Microsoft Windows 2000. I want to put a number of podcasts on it as well as some music. Unfortunately my PCs are all Windows 2000 and it is not worth my while upgrading.
Now I think that some of the Creative Zen Micro units used to work on 2000. But later versions after firmware upgrades only work on XP. How can I get the right working units?
AK

You can try to get some old Zen players.All new Zen players need at least Windows XP to work and sometimes even the last service pack. If you know that the Zen Micro works on Windows 2000 with a previous firmware, I think that you can find easily on the web this firmware or simply ask to Creative.

Windows Media Player 11 not recognizing files on Creative Zen X-Fi?

I recently made an attempt to synchronize the files on my Creative Zen X-Fi to my Windows Media Player library to transfer them to my other MP3 player, however I receive this message when I attempt to view the files and sync them: "There are no files on this device. To begin, sync files to the device." The files are definitely existent as I can listen to and view them on the device and WMP has recognized there is only 8 MB of space remaining. Could you help me resolve this problem? Thank you

Hi,
Can you please try transfering these songs using Windows Explorer to see if it goes through?

Creative Zen V and Windows 7?

CHi there,
I'm just bought a Creative Zen V 4MB and am having problems with installing it. I'm using Windows 7 and now realising this could be the reason why!? Is there a driver that will work with Windows 7? The installation from the CD partly worked, but I got lots of error messages during installation to say contact customer support (will post exact message if this helps),
Thanks for your help,
Louise

Hello,
Thanks very much for your quick reply.
Yes I bought the player on Amazon Marketplace - unfortunately I bought the player new so I didn't realise that it was discontinued and there wouldn't be any official support for it. Also the reason I bought a new player was because after I upgraded to Windows 7 my old Zen Micro wouldn't work with it so I seem to have the same problem now :/!
I have connected the player again and it is recognised and I can transfer files across from my computer. The problem seems to be with the media explorer - when I try to open this up the computer hangs. Is there any service pack or file you can point me in the right direction of which may fix this?
Thanks for your help,
Louise
