It seems that the device don't response to anything. I can't acces to rescue mode or anything else. i think I'll just have to take it back to the shop and get a new one whit the warranty.
EDIT:
Could it be a virus or something like that?

  • Zen Sleek Photo-mic doesn't w

    For some reason, the mic doesn't work. I can record with the player but when I play it back, no sound is heard. If I speak very LOUDLY and close to the zen sleek, then I can hear something, but barely. Any reasons why the mic isn't working? Or is it defecti've?

    Creative should perform more checks on the computer to make sure that everything is required and installed and configured correctly to use the player.

Are the most common methods to solve device detection issues. I'm sure Creative is aware of these problems and that these can be done. However Microsoft should be involved as it is their standard and Creative is simply making their products to the standard set out by Microsoft. Hopefully when WMP comes out, Microsoft would implement these changes or even change the way the computer recognizes MTP devices without disturbing the existing programs that do support MTP, like Notmad Explorer and Media Monkey. The suggestions listed in the FAQ are from Microsoft (hotfixes) and the users who have posted on the Creative, Dell, and iRi'ver forums. The suggestions were simply gathered up and put together.

  • Zen Sleek Photo - XP doesn't install player

    Hi peeps,
    Being a Creative fan :smileysurprised: I decided to add the Zen Sleek Photo to my repertoire of Creative kit (Gigaworks S750 and X-Fi Fatality SoundBlaster).
    Well, it arri'ved this morning and after installing the software (except WMP0 as I already had that) I plumbed in the player and after getting the XP bubble "Found New Hardware" and the "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard", when prompted to install the software for it, all I'm getting is:-
    "... There was a problem installing this hardware
    MTP Device
    An error occured during the installation of the device
    The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fasion..."
    Any ideas as to what the problem is?
    Hope someone can help as I'm mega frustrated that I can't even get any of my tunes on it to even give it a whirl - looks nice though
    Many thanks in advance,
    LAGAVULIN

  • Zen Sleek -WMP 11 - PC Music Library -Playli

    Since December I have been unable to create/edit/delete any playlists using the PC Music Library, ?my preferred method with Creative MediaSource Organiser, on my Zen Sleek 20GB which was bought in Sept 05?& has performed wonderfully until then. In fact the PC Music Library doesn't seem to recognise the Zen Sleek even though it is connected and confirms as much. The Zen Sleek &?the PC Music Library don't seem to synchronise when new tracks are being imported.Around this time I did download Windows Media Player , at first without being aware of the compatability issues and the firmware requirements. I have corrected these and upgraded where required. I have rolled back to WMP0 but this has not changed anything and have indeed gone back to WMP because of this. The only (marginal) success with playlists is with using the Organiser's synchronisation facility but it is very inconsistent in transferring files.Any Suggestions

  • My Creative Zen Sleek is bro

    My Creti've Zen Sleek got dropped, so only half of the LCD display currently works. I have sent emails to Creative through the website asking for the necessary details so that it can be fixed, but have received absolutely no response. I understand that as it's accidental damage that I'll have to pay for the repairs and have no issue with this, so can someone please let me know the contact details I need so that I can send my Zen Sleek in to be fixed? I'm finding the zero response from Creative very frustrating, as I would like them to fix my device, rather than having to go elsewhere to try to get it fixed.

    Thanks Cat,
    I have sent 2 emails, one quoting my work email, which I thought might have blocked it so I sent another quoting my yahoo email address, which doesn't have spamguard turned on, but still no reply. So as the messages don't seem to be getting received, I don't know how I am meant to be able to get the details I require. Any further assistance would be much appreciated.

  • My Zen Sleek Only works with USB 1.1 not 2

    For Reference ( http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=953 )
    So I figured out that when my Zen Sleek is connected to any USB port on my computer, (it's USB 2.0) it doesn't work.
    It works in that I can browse the files, etc..etc.. but when i try to copy a song or some songs, it will crash after the first song is transfered.
    So I have a USB . Hub, and I plug the Zen Sleek to it and well even though it's slow, it actually works. All songs transfer fine.
    So I buy a new Belkin USB 2.0 Hub, same problem happens.
    I have an EPOX 8K5A+2 motherboard, built in 4 ports of USB 2.0, gig PC2700 Ram, AthlonXP 2800+ etc.. Latest VIA Detonator drivers... Deleted all the USB ports and what not in Device Manager, rebooted, etc.. tried everything.. Any Ideas people?

    Confirm you've installed the Media Player 0 updates KB902344 (http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...4-x86-INTL.exe) and KB8922(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...08-FD6E7827CD8) on your XP system. I experienced the same transfer issues you report until after KB902344 installation.

  • Real Player/XP crashed, now Zen Sleek 20GB not recogni

    Okay, I had my Zen Sleek 20 GB connected one day, put the computer in standby mode, then disconnected the device. When I turned the computer back on, I got a blue screen (first time for this year-old Dell!) saying it had recovered from a major error. After that, anytime I tried to transfer an MP3 or anything else over to my player in Real, a message would pop up saying that the device did not support my file type, which was impossible. I thought the crash might have something to do with it, so I went ahead and uninstalled EVERYTHING on my computer, then reinstalled everything. Didn't work. Formatted my Zen, and erased the firmware. But when I tried to install the new firmware, the installation wizard didn't "see" the device, as if it wasn't connected. So now I'm clueless as to what to do next, and my player is completely on the fritz. Any ideas?

    Howdy, I have a Zen MicroPhoto 8 GB player that is stuck, and as much as I know about MP3 players, even I can't fix this thing. Somebody's gotta help me now. I know how to access the Recovery mode, but that doesn't help me much if it freezes up when I access anything there. My computer doesn't even recognize the player either. I am running XP Pro with WMP-2. I usually like Creatives because it's easy for my PC to see it as a new dri've and then just copy/paste songs to it. I don't really like the time consumption of using a pc player to manage my music. Well, I really need help making my PC see the player. I think if I could see the player I could format and reinstall software....maybe. I don't have an a/c charger but have always charged it with the pc usb cable. I have two good batteries that will run the player too. I can always fix the GB or less Creative players (flash memory), even if my pc won't recognize them. I am apparently dumb about the hard dri've players cause I can't get anything to work to save my life. Once, and only once, I got my device manager to see it...but it wouldn't let me install or manage software transfer to the player. It just said "your player is not connected"....and I can't remember what I did to get it to see it in the device manager either. One more thing, I have a bluetooth a/c charger that has an output of 550 mA's. I have thought about connecting that and boosting the power...temporarily....to see if that does it.....but I'm a little scared to do that. I'm liable to fry my player...! Anybody know a way I can start to fix my 8GB player (signed: "Very Frustrated"

  • Zen Sleek Harddisk Problem

    Hi All,
    This is the first time I've ever encountered this and it has me worried. The past few times I turned on my Zen Sleek it went into recovery mode. I figured I would do a disc cleanup, but that doesn't seem to be working. It sat for /2 hour without saying the disc had been cleaned. Anyway, I went to reload the firmware and then I ran into the harddisk problem. It won't let me reload the firmware and I can't get out of recovery more. I've shut down, rebooted, and paper clipped a dozen times & I'm still in recovery mode. Any sugesstions? I've only had the thing for 9 months and I've never dropped it. I would be a real shame and very disappointing if it died already. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    To be honest, you've already lost all the data because the dri've it's on has failed. Kinda like how your data on a CD is basically gone if you bust the CD in half.
    As for why the dri've died, lots of things can kill a hard dri've. Excessi've vibration, shock, ESPECIALLY drops while the unit is on. And possibly the #2 hard dri've killer: jogging with the player. Or maybe it was a dud, it happens, that's why we have a warranty.
    Gi've Customer Support a call, they'll want to do some troubleshooting to be sure, and then they can set you up for service. You can also email in if you don't have time to call, on the support page of this website.
    Good luck!

  • How do you set Zen sleek drive space through softwa

    OK,
    So I have a Zen sleek and I accidentally cracked the screen. No problem, used a wire remote and still good. Except the jack on the Zen broke and it doesn't respond now. So I figure I'll use this as a glorified portable hard dri've, except the manual says I need to set the size through the player, which I can't see what I'm doing. Does anybody know how I can do this through software? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Cheers,

    I just wanted to close out this question.
    I never received a clear answer but in the end I don't need to use the function. My concern was that a new WD1001FALS would be louder than the OEM 320GB HDD in my iMac to the point that I wouldn't be happy with it. Not wanting to trade speed for quiet I passed on the Green caviar and went for the Black. After living with it for several weeks I can say that it is very quiet and while I don't know if it's measurably louder than the old drive, it's not enough for me to notice (and I'm pretty picky).
    So, I'm happy with the drive as-is, case closed.

  • ZEN Sleek - XP Home will not recognize device for install! PLEASE H

    I have a ZEN Sleek (normal not photo) had it for year now. Lost my install disc and have a new PC. Im running XP Home Edition. I have tryed to install the software on my PC from the downloads page ( for tranfering mp3's and CD's to my player) but when it prompts me to plug in my ZEN Sleek it doesn't recognize the device as being there. I get a "Connect Device" for it to search message. I know my USB is fine. ( I have a PSP/Playstation Portable). Am i missing something, perhaps a driver I also I checked to see if the ZEN Sleek is listing in the device manager. It isn't. What do i do Much Thanks, 2W3Message Edited by 2W3 on 05-26-20070:08 PM

    Tried various boot sequences but still no luck.  This is extremely frustrating since everything is rev'd up and ready to go...but the OS won't boot.
    It appears that everything gets loaded to the HD but the HD will not "boot".  This will happen if I make the HD the 1st, 2nd or 3rd boot device in the sequence.  
    I've seen some chatter about Corsair XMS and K8T Neo incompatability cretaing boot problems.  How about the BIOS version...any suggestions or ideas?

  • Zen Sleek Model DAP-HD0018 not recognized

    I have tried everything to get this player recognized in Windows Xp Home and haven't had any success. It does not show up in Device Manager other than unknown device. I have tried the registry settings to give USB the allow everyone permissions, and moved it around to all the usb ports and nothing. Tried it on my pc (XP Pro) and it doesn't work on it either. Is there any other tricks out there to try? I know it works, it was fine a before. I recently updated my dad's pc with a new motherbaord and processor but I don't think that is the problem.

  • Constant Zen Sleek crash after downl

    My Zen Sleek works properly in normal use. However after downloading music with WMP and disconnect the cable, the player goes into rebuild library mode and freeze. The problem is usually resolved by resetting the player and let it go through the rebuild library routine. Occasionally, it is so screw up that I have to go through Rescue Mode/Disk Cleanup procedure to get it to work properly.
    Have anyone encounter similar problem?
    The culprit seems to be bugs in the firmware dealing with Track/Album deletion. I did some experiement
    . Backup music to hard disk
    2. Reformat the player
    3. Download music to player
    4. DIsconnect the player - rebuild library went through fine
    5. Repeat 3/4 many times and it works every time
    So downloading doesn't seem to be a problem by itself.
    Then I deleted a few albums. After that the rebuild library freeze start to happen after I download music to the player.
    From reading other messages, it looks like I should just keep a staple with the cable and not to expect fix from Creative. As far as I can tell, Zen Sleek is already orphaned - I cannot find a single accessory for Zen Sleek in the MP3 accessory list while trying to look for a stupid cable.

    Thanks very much for the pointer - The freeze problem seems to went away once I switched to use the Creative Media Source Organizer. The CMSO also allows me to have any directory structure I want instead of always artist\album\song. The player still display lists according to tags.
    The new (and fairly consistent) problem I have is that the CMSO software seems to be corrupting my wireless connection. So now I have two choices - reboot the player with WMP or reboot the computer with CMSO.

  • Zen Sleek Photo Re-loading Library at Powe

    My Zen Sleek Photo Player has started acting weird on me. When I power it up it goes through a re-building library phase before the powerup is complete. When it is powered up, it plays my music; but doesn't indicate what music it is playing on the screen. I cannot get my pc to recognize that my player is connected to it, so I cannot download music or podcasts. Some of my music has disappeared and all of my saved podcasts are gone. I have gone through the reboot routine, but to no use. Have I played my beloved player to death? Anyone have similar problems or suggestions. I trolled through the message board but didn't find a similar problem. Thanks.

    You can try formatting but take note that you will lose the contents in the player. You might also want to try connecting to another computer or try using another usb cable to see if it gets detected.
    If that still does not work or is not possible, you probably need to contact support to get it sorted out.

  • Zen Sleek Photo won't turn

    My Zen Sleek Photo won't turn on period. I'm kind of scared because I just bought it and finished getting all my music on it. I tried putting the charger in because that usually turns it on but that didn't work. I tried holding down the on button. I tried to access it from the computer with the USB cord and that didn't work. So if anyone has any help please tell me.

    Try resetting it, with a paperclip (put it into the reset hole and you should feel a very small "button" to press with it).
    Leave it charging for a while aswell, in case it has run completely out of power. If it still doesn't work after trying those two things, then I would definitely recommend contact Customer Support directly, as there could be a problem with the unit.
