My computer doesn't recognize my Zen Creative Vision:M (30 GB) anymore

? I still use XP and I have this mp3-player for a year now and it has been working fine until yesterday. I ripped Stefani's first album and tried to drag one of her songs on my mp3-player, but the player couldn't handle the file it seemed. So it fell out, on, out, on and I just unplugged it. Then I plugged it back in, but ever since my computer doesn't recognize it (in the media explorer it also says it's not plugged in). The videos in my library also seemed to be missing all of the sudden (only the maps remained).. and?I re-installed every programm, including windows media player, and the only outcome of it is that my computer now labels it as a MTP Media Player. So now it does connect, but i still can't transfer files or get into the player's system.
It's strange, because many people have encountered this problem and the solutions seem to vary; one even solved it by simply re-installing WMP, which didn't work for me.
Help would be awesome, guys!

From the recovery screen do a Clean-up,reboot. If you have copies of all your music you may need to Format the player (do not choose reload firmware or anything like that)? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=

  • Computer doesn't recognize my Zen Mozaic

    I have a new Zen Mozaic MP3 player (about 2 months old). I have been using Windows Media player to transfer music from my PC (XP OS) to the player without any problems until now.
    Now my computer doesn't recognize the MP3 player as being connected to the USB port. I uninstalled the Creative software that came with the player and then reinstalled and it didn't fix the problem. Also I've tried connecting other flash dri'ves and the computer recognizes them.... Also, shutting down and restarting the PC didn't help either.
    Is anybody having this same issue?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Don't know if this will help but if you are not using the usb port that came with your player the computer may charge but not? reconize the player. At least that is what is happening with mine.
    same as to what i was thinking. if this is really the case, i always do stick with its original accessories like the usb port.

  • My computer won't recognize my Zen Micro....

    Just recently, my computer stopped recognizing my Zen Micro. The battery icon on the screen shows that it's attempting to charge, although it takes forever (it took all weekend to give me just 2 bars) to do this. Windows Media Player tells me there are no devices connected, so I'm unable to add my new songs to my player. I know it's not my computer or USB port, because my girlfriends Ipod is working fine. At first I thought it might be my battery, so I bought a?new one and I'm still having the same problem.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction to get this fixed, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

  • My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?

    My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?
    When I connect my iPod to my computer, nothing happens. I've read the tips in the section "support" and I noticed that maybe Windows 8 is not one of the operating systems that are compatible with an iPod nano 7th generation. If I'm right, what can I do if my only device is a Windows 8?

    Hi, Grafiti. 
    Thank you for the question.  Below, I have attached a couple troubleshooting articles that will help resolve the device not being recognized by iTunes.

  • I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • Latest iTunes update: computer doesn't recognize DVD drive

    I updated iTunes and my computer doesn't recognize my keyboard and my DVD drive.
    I was able to get the keyboard back by unplugging it and plugging it back in.

    I don't want to reinstall the update until I'm sure this won't happen again.
