Installing Zen Microphoto 8 GB on Vi

Windows Vista (32bit) does not install my Zen Microphoto 8 GB.
Upon connecting the device via USB, it tries to install it as an MTP-device. The installation fails. ('The device does not start' Code 0.)
According to the Driver Availability Chart support should be native.
I have already upgraded the firmware to .3.0e (on another PC).
I tried to connect it via USB connections on the front and at back.
I used different cables.
All to no avail.
Any suggestions

the screen? really? i was thinking some sort of power/battery glitch, since i get no backlight, no lights on the keyboard, no light on the on/off switch when it's not hooked up to the computer via usb. also coz that "your battery level is too low" error message.
actually, it's probably BOTH a power issue and screen issue, now that i think about it. *sigh* guess i'll contact the seller and see what he'll do. yeah, normally i have luck on ebay. my little zenv plus was certainly a good buy. oh well.
thank you for your prompt response.

Help installing Zen MicroPhoto

So I just updated to SP2, and WMP. The computer detects the Zen as an MTP device and installs it accordingly and successfully, or at least it says so, anyway. However, neither WMP nor my Creative Explorer can see the **bleep** thing. It also doesn't show up in on the Device Manager list. I've upgraded its firmware to the latest version, went through the USB Permissions routine outlined in the Knowledge Base, read through a ton of topics here at the forum that all offered even the slightest inkling of a solution, yet nothing.
I've tried that "FixUp" file, but it doesn't work anymore (it did before installing WMP, however).
Any help would be much appreciated.Message Edited by hellslave on 07-23-200706:07 PM

Try rolling back to WMP0 instead using the steps outline below.

See if WMP0 works. If all is well, then update to WMP again.

Install for Zen microphoto? Help PLEAS

Hi, I have a zen microphoto, and had installed it on my laptop using the disk a couple of months ago. I lost my entire hard dri've, thus...the installation of my mp3 player, and, of course, I left the installation disk lying on the coffee table and my dog decided to make it a new chew toy and snapped it in half. I tried looking, but where can I find software to download to get my player working again? I already tried just plugging it in and seeing if it showed up in "My Computer" so I could just drop files into it, but it alas is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

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

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.

My PC doesn't 'react' when I connect my Zen Microphoto

Hello,
I'm Michel van Gelder and I have a problem with my Zen Microphoto. I am going to try to explain my problem in proper english, but english isn't my main language, so please forgive me if i make terrible mistakes or something.
My problem is:
If I connect my Zen to my PC it says something like, what do you like to do, but when i click on an option it says: Media Device isn't connected. And also when I connect it, a symbol appears in the right corner, next to all the others, but when I try to do something with it's(with right mouse button or something) it disappears. The result is that, with everything i try, the PC says that my mp3 isn't connected. While 've installed all the software properly etc.
I have this MP3 for 2 years now, and I've never had this problem. Until 2 weeks ago, when we had to reinstall our computer. So my question actually was: Is there something wrong with my Zen or with my PC. And, what can I do about it's
I hope someone knows the answers to my questions. Thank you very much

Zen Microphoto works with USB1.1, but not USB

I recently bought a Zen Microphoto 8gb. After some trouble installing it, i finally got it to work. My computer has 6 USB-ports, where 2 is USB. compliant, and 4 are USB2.0 compliant. I connected the Microphoto to one of the USB. ports, and Windows XP installed it automatically after a few seconds. This works fine.
But I want faster transfer speeds, so I connected the player to one of my USB2-ports, expecting it to work equally there. What happens when I do this, is that Windows XP acts as the player is not installed.. A message at the systray tells me "Creative Labs ZEN MicroPhoto found", and a driver install window pops up telling me to insert the included CD to install the driver (obviously because the driver now isn't implemented in XP)
I then tried to uninstall the players drivers and then plug it in the USB2.0 ports. Just the same problem.
Windows finds the drivers when connecting it to USB., but not when connecting it to USB2.0
I have Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Media Player 0. Can anyone help me, as I am a music artist, and need a working MP3-player.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same problem actually. Works fine on my USB1.1, but it was a bit slow, so i bought a PCI USB 2 Card. When I plug it in, I get the generic hdd and nothing in iTunes. I got it working a few times in the USB2, but only after reinstalling and installing the iPod software, but it stops working the next time i connect to it.
Not sure what the issue is so far.

I just had a Pioneer deck installed in my car to replace the factory unit. It has a USB connection, but when I connected my player to it, I got a message saying that it would not work. There is an accessory input on the face of the unit; how do I use that with my MP3 player?
to use the player with the usb port you will need to add music files to the removable disc area of the player & when you connect the player to the stereo it must be in removable disk mode for the car stereo to read the files. If the car has a AUX input on the front you can buy a cord like this one? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...duct_id=820445 connect it using the headphone jack on the player. The removable disc mode gives the better sound quality. Can you post a link for your model car stereo?

Creative Zen Microphoto - "Firmware upgrade failed&qu

Hi,
two days ago my Zen Microphoto started in "Recovery Mode".
I had no means of getting out. I first selected "Clean Up" and rebooted, still "Recovery Mode".
Then I downloaded the latest firmware version for it:
ZENMicroPhoto_PCFW_L6__3_0.exe
Then I selected "Upgrade Firmware", acknowledged with "Yes", the firmware was deleted, but the windows firmware application said "no player connected" after connecting the player.
Okay, after googling a bit, I found out that I needed to downgrade from WMP to WMP 0.
I (painfully) did this and after installing an additional Registry Key via fixup.cmd the
ZENMicroPhoto_PCFW_L6__3_0.exe
detected the player (hurray!). It showed "Current Player Firmware Version .20.0 " and "Upgrade File Version .3.0".
When clicking on "Upgrade" at the windows application, the blue progress bar appeared and the player showed "Recovery Mode" and a blinking USB logo.
What it did NOT show afterwards was a gear symbol with "Upgrading firmware" (which I found on a screenshot in the internet).
When the blue progress bar of the windows firmware upgrade application reached about 85% it halted and after minute the windows firmware application showed "Firmware upgrade failed!" while the player only showed a black screen with "Recovery Mode" and the green battery symbol at the top.
I also tried the same procedure with
ZenMicroPhotoP4S_PCFW_LB__20_0.exe with the same result: "Firmware upgrade failed!"
Any ideas how to "repair" the player

Creative Zen MicroPhoto Error (8

Hi,
I'm from the UK but purchase a Zen MicroPhoto from the USA brand new. I've had it around 3 weeks and its been great but the other day when i went to turn it on the screen froze and it wouldn't boot up the the menu like usual. It is the Creative logo screen in white on the black background, the one with the copyright information.
Anyway i've had it in revocery mode and nothing but the reboot option works but of course it just boots to the same situation except that its just Creative white on black logo with no copyright info. Then freezes at that point. Of course it won't install the new firmware i have as it won't recognize it on the computer because it hasn't booted properly..
Clean up - Freezes and never completes
Reboot Firmware - Freezes.
Formate - Freezes
Reboot- Freezes after attempt.
I've read through a few topics and seen similar things but is there a solution or is my Mp3 player faulty? It seems the optins to sort this out they give you are as good as a chocolate fireguard.
Will i have to send it back to get it sorted and will Creti've UK take it's
Thanks......

If it was something the player could recover from (ie just an error), then the options in Recovery Mode should have done that. It unfortunately sounds like it's faulty.
Contact Customer Support (for the UK), I'm sure they will be able to assist you.

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?

Zen Microphoto no recognized by

Hi,
Up until now I've been pleased with Creative, but their knowledge base is not very helpful, hence I'm posting here.
My problem is this: My Zen Microphoto would freeze at the "Rebuilding library" stage of the start-up, so following instructions in the manual, I entered recovery mode and selected "Reload firmware". It deleted the firmware and I downloaded the newest version from Creative's website ready to install onto my Microphoto. However, when I ran the executable, it said "Player not connected" even though on the Microphoto screen, it clearly said "docked". So here I am, with no firmware, and no way of installing a new version of firmware. Is there anything I can do, or is that ?80 down the drain?
Thanks,
unconditional

"the device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to your computer" ?

Hi I have just bought it today, and the installation went thru without any trouble. Then when I connected my mp3 player as the book says I for one cant install it (since there's no driver for it) and when I look in the 'Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer' it claims that my device is not connected even though my computer has detected it - but can't install it for some reason. Any solutions, suggestions anything?thx in advance

I'm having the same problem with my zen vision m. It worked the first time I plugged it in, but now it doesn't work. The player says it's docked, and the computer says it detects it in the taskbar, but none of the programs recognize it. I've tried WMP, Musicmatch jukebox, the media explorer, and the source organizer but nothing recognizes it. I've restarted the computer, restarted the player, clicked "refresh devices" a hundred times and it still doesn't work. Any help would be much appreciated.

Creative Zen Microphoto froz

Hi!
I have a Zen Microphoto (8 GB) and was very happy with it until last week. I connected it to my laptop like I did several times before, but it behaved strange: it went on automatically and showed the screen you see when a song is playing, but it did't play. The player was frozen and didn't carge also. I then noticed that my computer didn't recognize it at all, likewise the Creative Explorer. The only possibillitiy to switch it off was to remove the battery.
When I reconected the player, it said "rebuilding libary", but afterwards it fell into the same state again. I left it hooked up to the computer for several hours, but it didn't charge or anything else. I tried all my Usb-ports, I have XP SP 2, the drivers are installed, it worked perfectly fine before and I did not change a single thing on my system.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Johannes
