Help Windows 2000 and Zen4GB is

Well, I goofed, purchased a (non-returnable) refurbished 4GB Zen and have Windows 2000. I read the specs and that page did not list the OS needed. I am certain many others have had this problem as 2000 is pretty common, and don't know why Creative hasn't handled this software issue, does anyone know how to hook up the Zen 4GB with Windows 2000?

Winamp is a program similar to iTunes that helps you to manage your music on your computer and then sync the music to your device. You can download it for free (just Google Winamp) or there is a Pro version for a small one-off payment. It supports Windows 2000. There's a wealth of information on the website, including a Help section, FAQ and a User Forum. As the program is open-source, it supports plug-ins which modify the software to suit a user's needs - you may be able to find a plug-in in order to use your Zen with it. I use it as I personally prefer it to Creative's own offering and find it'sa powerful but easy program to use.
MediaMonkey is a similar program although I haven't used it personally. Google it and you can download it for free. It has the plug-ins already installed to be able to detect and sync most MP3 players. It is supports Windows 2000 (in fact it supports Windows 95!).
Hope this helps!

  • Why will a stand alone executalbe with an installer work on windows 2000 and crashes on windows xp professional?

    When I run the setup.exe file on a Windows 2000 system it installs properly, but the same file run on a XP Professional system I get an error stating Fatal Error: Installation ended prematurely because of an error.
    See here for more information on the specific installer I'm trying to use.
    In fact I get this error for any stand alone executable I try to install on any XP machines. I am using LV 7.1. Is there a way to manually install eve
    rything?
    Thanks

    Sure you can Install a lv application manually. just copy the exe-file,
    support files in a folder. For the runtimeengine just copy the file
    lvrte.dll in the folder of your application or in the windows system folder.
    Hope that helps, Niko

    never mind...
    Posts from other threads in this group suggested using VC++'s vcvars.bat for setup.
    That solves the stdio problem, buildclient now works for me.

    Exemple:

    If you have trust in place, then also you can use trusted domain name to login from trustee domain. Also, UPN suffix can be added.

    Hi, anyone can tell me how to open a CD - ROM FOR windows 2000 and XP Version 1.1b Software by Softwire LTD?

    Then you will need a copy of XP running in a virtual machine, or possibly bootcamp depending what Mac OS you're currently on.
    Rather expensive way to do it, but if it's Windows software, you need Windows.

    Okay Thanks for your reply.
    But what about nal objects? For example Microsoft patches. You don't want Xp
    patches to be rolled out on 2000 machines. So filtering on file existence is
    the only way?? for example C:\windows\explorer.exe for xp and
    C:\winnt\explorer.exe for 2000.

  • Windows 2000 and ODBC errors

    I received "ODBC call failed" errors with client machines running Windows 2000 and Oracle 7.3.4 or 8.1.5 or 8.1.6, though I have used the same setup procedure with Windows 95 and Windows 98 and those Oracle releases without problems.
    Are there any known problems with Oracle 7.3.4, 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 running on client machines with Windows 2000? If so, are there workarounds for this problem?
    null

    Double-check the 8.1.6 release notes, but I don't believe any of those releases are certified on a Win2000 machine. I believe you need 8.1.7.

  • Correct ITunes version for Windows 2000 and Nano

    My daughter just got a Nano for x-mas and is not recognized by old I-tunes software. I assume I need a newer version. However, 8.x that is advertised as latest version does not mention Windows 2000. I can't find any info on what version of ITunes I need or if there is one even compatible with both 2000 and the Nano. Can anyone tell me? I am incredibly frustrated by the lack of info on this and the lack of info in the user's manual. I see there are several different versions/generations of Nano, but have no idea how I am supposed to know what I have. I am not computer illiterate, but find this site poor at explaining questions like; how to tell what generation of Nano one owns, what version of I Tunes is necessary to synch with that version of Nanao, and is that version of ITunes compatible with ones operating system.
    Can someone tell me what version of ITUNES I need (or if it is even possible)and where I can find it? Thank you if anyone can provide this info that Apple chooses not to make easily accessible.

    So does this mean the IPOD is useless unless I get a whole new operating system so I can get the latest ITUNES?
    I also found a fact sheet about what to do to re-install USB drivers if the IPOD isn't recognized by the computer (which it isn't), followed the instructions and it still is not recognized! Is there a place those drivers can be downloaded so I could try something other than ITUNES for putting music on?
    I still contend that MAC does a horrible job of explaining these issues to people when they are buying. I've spent about 4 hours looking at help pages and have yet to see one that mentions minimum system requirements (ie Windows 2000 is not supported) and what, if anything can be done about it. I spent about a half hour trying to locate an e-mail help/customer service address to ask these questions and let them know about my frustration, but all I could find was the phone number, for which I only get one call! I don't have time to spend this much time trying to track this info down. My first computer was a MAC and talked for years about how great they were, but this lack of easy access to basic info/customer service has soured me on them. Sorry about the rant. Thanks for any help. While I am not a computer nerd, I work with them enough to know how to get around.

    I got problems in installing Oracle 7.3 or Oracle 7.4 in Windows 2000 platform.
    When you spoke about "new version or another version of Oracle Installer", did you refer to an upgrade version of Oracle 7.x or
    to a particular patch or to Oracle8.x?

  • Windows 2000 and the iPhone... am I just screwed?

    So I just got an iPhone, and it turns out that waiting 1 hour for customer services just lends to the same issue: the iPhone will not sync with Windows 2000, because the iTunes software will not update to 8.0.
    It's not like I have a choice in this matter, because I use my work computer. I can't upgrade to XP becuase I don't have admin rights. What I would have thought is that it would at least recognize the iPhone as an iPod, so I could update my iPhone with all the music I've stored up. (I work for a company whose CEO is on the board of directors for Apple, so they're totally cool with iTunes and Apple products.)
    Will the iPhone software ever be set up to be an iPod to earlier versions, or am I just screwed to wait for a new computer?
    Now, in a year, the whole company is converting to Macs, so it won't be an issue. But it basically means that my iPhone will never be connected to my computer.
    And just as a last gripe... the support phone was just awful. She wanted me to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it, and she had to consult her manager when I explained the Windows 2000 issue. Her response was just, "Sorry, it will never sync. Is there anything else I can help you with?" Thanks.

    Windows 2000 is very old. With a CEO on the Apple Board of Directors I am quite shocked that his company's platform is so far behind. Most businesses have upgraded to XP years ago, just as the Mac community has migrated from OS 9 to OS X. It's just a fact of life.
    It would be very expensive for Apple (and even Microsoft) to support W2000. I know of no tricks to make it work - the OS has just changed so much in eight years.
    I'm sorry this is happening to you, and I wish I had a better answer. I hope someone else has a solution for you...good luck.

  • Deinstalling on Windows 2000 and reinstalling onXP

    I have a dual boot system, with Windows 2000
    Professaional installed on the C:\ drive, and
    Windows XP Professional installed on the D:\. I
    recently received the OTN sampler CD, with
    Oracle9i Database Server and Oracle9i Developer

    Windows XP with the Oracle home on E:\, my friend
    happened to install the Developer Suite on the
    same drive with the same Oracle home location, on
    Windows 2000.
    I happen to understand that for both the products,
    separate homes are needed. I procceded to
    uninstall both and reinstall both on Windows XP
    though with separate home locations. While I
    succeded to uninstall most of the DS products and
    the database, some component parts still exist. I
    did this through the Oracle Universal Installer,
    which later on seemed to ennter a perpetual wait
    condition with nothin much happening. I tried
    removing Oracle through the Windows control panel,
    but it is not displaying Oracle. I inorder to
    proceed I tried deleting the Oracle home folders,
    but some DLLs are not being deleted. I feel I
    have made a mess!
    Kindly help me out. I want to completely deinstall

    Is there something to do with windows 2003 or corrupted oledb driver or windows service packs.
    Please advice

    Hi amy2ki
    I had the same problem and solved it.
    It seems that this issue is related to security settings on ORACLE_HOME folder.
    You must force Read&Execute rights on ORACLE_HOME folder for "Authenticated Users" and propagate them below.
    Check this note on :
    http://www.google.com/notebook/public/01335025009615452606/BDRwbSwoQnIbT6rQh
    Shortly, the steps are:
    Oracle Client software requires that you give the Authenticated User
    privilege to the Oracle Home by following these steps:
    1. Log on to Windows as a user with Administrator privileges.
    2. Launch Windows Explorer from the Start Menu and and navigate to the
    ORACLE_HOME folder. This is typically...
    - the "Ora92" folder under the "Oracle" folder
    (i.e. D:\Oracle\Ora92) in Oracle9iR2
    or
    - the "Client_1" folder under the "Oracle\product\10.1.0" folder
    (i.e. D:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_1) in Oracle10gR1
    or
    - the "Db_1" folder under the "Oracle\product\10.1.0" folder
    (i.e. D:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1) in Oracle10gR1
    3. Right-click on the ORACLE_HOME folder and choose the "Properties" option
    from the drop down list. A "Properties" window should appear.
    4. Click on the "Security" tab of the "Properties" window.
    NOTE: If you are running Windows XP and do not have a "Security" tab
    please do the following:
    (a) Open "Folder Options" in your Control Panel.
    (b) Choose the "View" tab.
    (c) Under "Advanced Settings" uncheck the option "Use simple file
    sharing (Recommended)".
    The "Security" tab should now be available.
    5. Click on "Authenticated Users" item in the "Name" list (on Windows XP
    the "Name" list is called "Group or user names").
    6. Uncheck the "Read and Execute" box in the "Permissions" list under the
    "Allow" column (on Windows XP the "Permissions" list is called
    "Permissions for Authenticated Users").
    7. Re-check the "Read and Execute" box under the "Allow" column (this is
    the box you just unchecked).
    8. Click the "Advanced" button and in the "Permission Entries" list make
    sure you see the "Authenticated Users" listed there with:
    Permission = Read & Execute
    Apply To = This folder, subfolders and files
    If this is NOT the case, edit that line and make sure the "Apply onto"
    drop-down box is set to "This folder, subfolders and files". This
    should already be set properly but it is important that you verify this.
    9. Click the "Ok" button until you close out all of the security properties
    windows. The cursor may present the hour glass for a few seconds as it
    applies the permissions you just changed to all subfolders and files.
    10. You must REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER to assure that these changes have taken
    effect. Failure to do this can prevent this procedure from working!
    11. Re-execute the application and it should now work.
    NOTE: If the problem is still present after following steps 1-11 and
    rebooting your computer in step 10 you should perform the following
    two additional permissions settings at step 8 as described below.
    This may be necessary due to permissions that have been configured
    beyond the standard permissions setup when the OS was originally
    installed:
    12. If the problem is still present, go back through these same 11 steps
    above, but when performing step 8 additionally check both boxes entitled
    "Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child
    objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here."
    AND
    "Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown
    here that apply to child objects"
    AND be sure to reboot in step 10.
    Hope it helps, it worked perfectly for me.

Maybe you are looking for
