N95, Vista drivers and media player mode

HI, Sorry to double post but I'm new to this forum and not sure where this should go. I got a new N95, I installed the older version of PC suite that came on the disc with the phone. I then updated to the latest version. .83 . It works fine with PC suite I can sync things transfer files etc, however I cant use it in data transfer or media player mode (it keeps searching for drivers it cant find). These are the only modes I am interested in. This is on a fairly new laptop with Vista ultimate installed. However I tried it on another computer in my house with Vista Home Premium installed, however this time I didn't install any extra software and it detected the phone in both data transfer and media player mode without any problems.
So I'm guessing that it installed something to mess it up when I installed the original version of PC Suite. PC Suite cleaner says it isn't vista compatible but I ran it in XP compatibility mode and it appeared to do something, but I have un-installed all versions of PC Suite and it still has the same problem, I cant use system restore as it kept setting restore points whenever it installed a part of PC suite and I ran out of system restore points. So please tell me how can I get it back to normal. It looks like I'm not the only one here with a similar problem, someone must know something, Id be really grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

yes, I do have same problem but I'm using N80 and winxp home, media player version 11, can anyone help us thankx
I can help I think. I just spent all afternoon yesterday with this problem and my conclusion is that in spite of what Nokia says somewhere in the installation documentation about the Media Player driver for WMP 10 working with WMP 10 "or above", it does not work with WMP 11, and if you want this functionality you will have to roll back to WMP 10 from WMP 11.
I think this may not be an option for Vista users, but for WinXP SP2 and an N80ie such as I have, here is what happened to me.
I had WMP 11 and I downloaded the driver for WMP 10 from here.
http://europe.nokia.com/A4237039
I then connected the N80ie to the PC using the C series cable that came with the phone, and when the Found New Hardware Wizard started I browsed to the location of the driver file and it announced that it had installed it, and I had to reboot. Whenever I would reboot, or even without rebooting, the Found New Hardware Wizard kept opening again, and again, and again and would seemingly have never stopped opening.
Now in retrospect I see that I wasn't installing it according to the directions, which say to right click on the WMP 10 driver file and choose "Install", but I don't think that would work any better if I had.
In the end, I rolled back to the Version of WMP that was on the machine when I installed WinXP (which was WMP 9) and then upgraded it to WMP 10.
Then following the directions for installation this time, I right clicked on the WMP 10 driver file, installed it, and it works fine.
If you open WMP 10 and choose Sync, and if the N80ie is connected via cable and Media Player mode, you will be able to choose it at the top of the right hand pane of the Sync display in WMP 10 and see the files on yor N80 plus (if the directions are correct and I understand them correctly... I haven't tried it) copy files in one direction from WMP 10 to your N80.
One thing I did differently than the rollback instructions call for... if you check here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/readme.aspx
Step 15 under "Rolling back to a previous version of the Player" says "Click Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.0.0" and then click "Remove".
I found that I had "Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.5" installed instead of 1.0.0 and when I clicked "Remove" I got dialog box that said if I removed it a whole list of programs might not work anymore, including but not only Nokia PC Suite, and Nokia Software Updater. So I elected NOT to remove "Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.5", and everything seems to work OK in spite of my not doing that.
Hope this helps.
I think that Nokia needs to come out with an updated driver for WMP 11 or Vista users are out of luck if they can't roll back to WMP 10, and us XP users will have to stay on WMP 10 until that happens if we want this feature to work on our N80's.
Best Regards,
Dave

Poll: Are you pleased your Vista Drivers and their current featur

So my question goes who here uses their Sound Card to do more such as decode Dolby Digital (any kind) for SPDIF IN/OUT or any other function that enables you to do more for your home entertainment system, that Vista currently doesn't support?
POLL:
Are you pleased with your Vista Drivers and their current features? (A respectable question)
Yes
or
No
Maybe we can have a Poll about the feelings of the community without it being blocked for "stirring up trouble", we have an opinion lets see what the community thinks.Message Edited by cyphin6 on 03-20-200705:06 PM

Why is it that people think they have all these "rights"? There is a difference between a "right" and a "privilege". It is painfully obvious that most people who say that have a "right" to do something don?t know what their rights are at all.
First and foremost, moderating a privately owned forum is not a violation of anyone's "rights". Before someone complains about their "right to free speech" being violated because of a forum moderator, you need to understand about the right to "free speech" in "America" (Actually you should say in the U.S. because Cuba is part of "America" as well and they don't have a constitutionally guaranteed "right to free speech" ) applies to CONGRESS and what CONGRESS can't do. Basically, it restricts the government, not private citizens and private forums.
And even though you may have the "right" to say something, it doesn't mean that anyone here has to listen to you...and that includes the moderators and forum owner. In other words, they can tell you to shut up by locking or deleting a topic. If you want to practice your ?right? beyond that, open your door and shout at the top of your lungs?and when the police show up, you can'tell them?all about your ?rights?

Vista with Creative Media Player keeps stoping during transfers to my Zen To

After my old computer crashed I purchased a new computer with Vista and like many others I went through the process of updating the firmware on my Zen Touch on another computer with XP and Windows MediaPlayer 0. I followed all the steps, including updating to the latest Creative Media OrginazerPlayer(5) and Play for Sure updates. Of course I lost all my music on the ZenTouch but I had my music saved on a external hard dri've. I loaded all the songs to my new computer and added them to the library for the Creative Media Player. Next step was to add them back to my Zen Touch. Becasue I had so many specialized playlists this process was going to take forever and would have to add songs one at a time. Everything was working great at first. I had no problems with Vista recoginizing everything and it all seem to function well. As I started to transfer songs to Zen Touch everything also went fine at first. Once I got through a few hundred songs the Media Player keeps stoping (atleast that's what the window that pops up says). I can sometimes go on later and transfer a few more songs but only a few and then it stops again and again and again. The ZenTouch is fully charged and being detected so the answers I've seen posted don't help. I've done so much to get everything to work and now this.... I running out of patience. I really don't want to start over or use the Windows Media Player if I don't have to since I've created so many playlists on the Creative Media program.Any suggestions out there on how to solve the problem of the constant stopage of the Creative Media Organizer when transfering songs to my Zen Touch Sorry for the long post- just wanted to cover the fact of what I've done already so there won't be any reiteration of suggestions.Message Edited by mattkaetzel on 0-03-20082: AM

Older Creative HDD-based players with special drivers (PDE), such as the Jukebox Zen,?were not supported past Windows XP. [url="http://mrinternet.wordpress.com/2007/03/0/creative-zen-nx-and-vista-working-together-finally/" rel="nofollow">This site[/url]?(thanks coachop94) describes someone's effort to get PDE drivers to work in Vista; try at your own risk. If that doesn't work, you'll have to transfer your files off the Jukebox Zen using an older computer (XP or earlier).
Also, if you have MediaSource 5 you should also have installed the appropriate plug-in from the Jukebox Zen support page.

N95 sync using windows media player

Hi - when I sync my N95 (with an 8GB disc) with windows media player it no longer copies over the album art to my device, even though I can see it on my PC. This is largely for allbums where I have ripped the CD and downloaded the media info file from the web. Has anyone any suggestions?
TIA
Mike

There are a couple of things to keep in mind when using WMP.
1. If WMP "converts" the file before transferring it over then the embedded album art will be lost. This is a bug in WMP and they haven't fixed it. Nothing can be done unless you lower the quality of all the songs so that they are not converted before transfer, so nothing over 256 kbps.
2. Even if the album art is shown in WMP, that doesn't mean that it's embedded in the file, it may be that WMP has the album art but not the music files. In this case you need to open the Meta Data Editor by right clicking on the file then check if the Album art is set.
Look at some tips on how to work the album art HERE.

Itunes sound and Media player sound

Perhaps this topic has been posted dozens of times but still I got a question.
I believe that media player has a very neat and nice sound while iTunes are more loud and not so deep. even if I make equilizer default. So the question.
Is it possible to male itunes sound to be so nice as Media Player?

I am not sure if there is an answer to your problem, but in the past I felt that both WMP and RealPlayer had slightly better sound than iTunes.
I did find that updating my audio drivers noticably improved the iTunes sound, so that is all I can suggest.

Audigy 4 - Vista drivers and software urgently nee

you know... i have this sound card (Audigy 4 - non pro) for over one year now, AND i don`t have a good driver and software for windows vista home premium x64. last driver for this sound card is:
. Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 (38.30 MB) 6 Mar 07.
i mean... 6 mar. 07
how long do i have to wait for you, to relase all the software it is on windows xp oh, this audigy 4 was not intended to use with vista, wright and you want everybody to buy that x-fi sound card with another set of problems in windows vista. nice marketing solution. good for you ONLY.
i`m just tired waiting. my card doesn`t work as it should, nor as it worked in windows xp.
i need all that software. all of it, working under vista. PRONTO!
you will provide that software, or you just lost me as a customer, and along with me, alot more.
btw, daniel_k was only helping people, by providing drivers and software YOU couldn`t, or you just didn`t wanted to. stop deleting his posts or links to the drivers made by him.
just stop that abbusi've marketing strategy, by not releasing software for older sound cards, and forcing customers to buy your new products. no, that wouldn`t happend.

Internet, and video or audio and media player--HELP

Ok...maybe its me but I had a powerbook before this and now I have the Macbook Pro. I'm trying to go to like MSNBC news and play video or audio content that needs either media player or something else. I went to microsoft.com to download media player for MAC OSX and it downloaded a file with an extension of *.sitx and when I clicked on it, my macbook didn't know what to do. Just to clarify--I still have a Mac right so I can't download media player for windows based computer??? anyone have suggestions on what to do?

The suffix means it's a Stuffit file (Stuffit is file compression). Stuffit Expander is a free application that can unstuff it. You can get it here: http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/index.html
I did what you did and found that the MSNBC video player did not consistently recognize that I was meeting all the requirements. I was using Firefox at the time and continued to get the dialog about download this and that. I switched to Safari, got that dialog once, but then it started working. I haven't tried it again in Firefox. Note that the player says it is Beta software.

BlackBerry file browser and media player

I hope this is the right place to bring these suggestions up:
I miss having the ability to stream via the default media player. Is there any way of adding that in an update?
Also, and on a similar note, would it be possible to add FTP abilities to the OS10 file manager - thus allowing access to Google Drive, etc. I know there are third party apps out there that can do this but the BlackBerry app does everything I need it to do minus accessing files on my Drive. It seems that in the days of cloud storage, it would have already been a feature.
Thank you.

It should, unless you've got event sounds turned off. (just try leaving them turned on while connected to external speakers with the volume way up and have a call or notification come in; shocking!)

Daniel help... or anyone... vista drivers and softwa

hello i am so confused now... too many drivers here and too many softwares and files to download and don't know what are the new ones and what are the suitable ones
i have audigy 4 pro and i am using vista....
what are the right driver and files i should download to work properly with my audigy?
i already downloaded the files :
1-SB Audigy Vista Driver 2.5.0004 (based on X-Fi release)
2-Unofficial SB Audigy Series Software CD (Rev 2)
3- Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Support Pack
long ago but i don't know where are the updates... or where are the new drivers and what to do
may any one please help me?

As the instructions on the page state, you must uninstall previous Creative drivers and software. That doesn't include the Vista Windows Update drivers. If that's all you have installed then it's okay. But if you installed any official Creative downloaded drivers or software or previous daniel_k stuff, then yeah, you must uninstall all that first. If the uninstallers don't remove all of it then DriverSweeper from guru3D.com is a good way to clean house.
Disable UAC and reboot.
Install that Vista Support Pack and reboot
Install Unofficial Creative Alchemy .00.8 and reboot
Install the Revision 2 Cd by unchecking the Alchemy and in the Audigy 2 ZS installation choose custom and uncheck the drivers and software installed by the Support Pack and put checks in everything else (though you can leave Smart Recorder unchecked as it doesn't seem to install for me. Save you clicking okay to error messages). Reboot.
Reenable UAC and reboot.
That gives you the latest versions of all the stuff.

Treo 680 and Media Player v. 11incompatible

I have a Treo 680, purchased in Dec 2006 and my PC runs Windows XP. I have Windows Media version 11.
I followed the instructions to rip music from my PC to my Treo but when I get to the point where it says to select my device, it's not listed. Then my Treo said it wasn't compatible with version 11 so I tried to download version 10 and my PC said it was't cpmpatible with that version.
I just now updated pocket tunes but that doesn't seem to have helped.
What do I do now?

I recently purchased a Palm Centro. I wanted to download music from my pc onto my device so I followed the instructions regarding ptunes and windows media player. I synched a bunch of songs. My device ran out of memory according to windows media player but some songs did transfer. I disconnected my Palm and went to Pockettunes and No Songs were there! I tried to synch just one song but it said I had no room. Where are the songs?
Thank you. Sharon
