NEED HELP - ZEN MI

I just bought a Zen Micro two days ago and am trying to get started. I loaded the software that came with the unit and my computer is not reading the device. I am running Windows XP and have uninstalled an reinstalled numerous times. Everytime I plug the device in, Windows prompts me that I have new hardware and tries to install it for me, the problem is, it should already be installed. I can bring up all the Creative products but in the software it says not connected when my device is clearly connected through the USB port. I don't get it, any tips on how to connect this bad boy.
I just bought it two days ago so I don't think I need to download anything off the net to upgrade.
Please help.

What actually happens when it tries to install?
For starters you might want to try downloading the latest software:
. Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
2. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
3. Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource
Install . then connect the player to the PC. Then install 2. and 3. (the player must be connected for 2. to verify you have a Creative product).

You know its kinda rude to derail XBenzinoFla thread with your own problems, make your own thread next time.
But to the both of you especially XBenzinoFla, try putting your ZVM in rescue mode and run scan disk to see if it hel

Need Help with my ZEN MX

Need Help with my ZEN MX9<font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans">Hi folks. On my computer I have about 9G of different music, or 52 albums. I can't figure out how to get that music on to the player. To correct myself, I mean I know how to physically/logically copy it over to my player. All of that music is also?on the player in "Music" folder. I have this "Creative Centrale" installed and working. I need step-by-step instructions on how to create a PLAYLIST (I'm guessing), and have the?player play song after song in an album, not randomize the play. I think that is why I created that playlist. Thank You folks For Your Help?
<font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans" size="3"><font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans" size="3">?

I guess you have a problem with the inability of mx to play folders. i have used folders as playlists since i got my first computer since i just want to throw the folder with the files over to another media for playing. Not to be able to play tis is truly annoying.

Zen Micro problem need help

Today i was listening to music and my zen micro just froze while playing and no buttons could be pressed and the lock button wasnt on. So i took the battery out and rebooted the player but it froze at the creative screen. I went home and i went to recovery mode and tried to reload the firmware but it said erasing firmware for more than 2 hours. So then i tried a format but it said formating for the same amount of time. I need help please. Also, recently i've had problems witht the headphone jack. When ever i would stick it in it would sound distorted and i would have to move it around until i got it to a certain spot to hear it good again. If anyone else has this problem please tell me. One more thing i had returned my other micro zen in for hard dri've probems and this was my new one do u think if i have to return in (hopefully not) that they would accept it.

If the functions in Rescue Mode aren't working properly then you need to contact Creative Support.

Dummy needs help with zen mi

I recently purchased a new laptop with widows vista and I had had xp before. My computer tells me that the driver is not supported or rather that the driver is not found. Know i've been searching around for info and i saw that there are many posts on this subject, however most of the post are way to advance for me to understand.. can anybody please explain to me in Dummy language how to get my zen micro to work with the windows vista pleeease and be patient with me im way to dumb for any big computer talk lol thanks for anyone who might help me.

Hi, the answer may not be as simple as you would like ...
Vista needs the Zen (insert older model) to have its firmware changed to Version 2.x which is referred to as MTP or media transfer protocol. If you do this it is a one way change meaning you cannot go back. That could be good or bad depending on a number of things but for simplicity, let's say you only have a Vista computer. You will need to go to MTP firmware. The catch is that you can only do that under a computer running Windows 2K or XP.
So ... find someone with a 2K or XP computer with an open USB port. Browse to Creative.com's download section adn download the Zen drivers (these install onto the computer so that the computer can recognize the Zen Micro), and download the latest ver 2.x firmware for the Micro. Install the drivers and reboot. Then upon restarting plug in the Micro and let Windows do its thing about finding new hardware. Once that is done and OK, run the firmware installer. During this time, do nothing to the computer or the Zen. If the process interrupts you could end up needing to send the player back for a repair.
Let the firmware install and when completed unplug from that computer and go over to your Vista computer. Plug in and you should be able to manage the Zen from Windows Media Player. Or install Creative Media Source 5 and its plug in modules and you will be up and running.
Good luck!!

I Need Help With My Zen Vision M 30GB Player ASAP

Tonight i had started deleting of my music folders on my creative zen vision m 30gb player and as it was doing that i accidently disconnected the usb cable from the player. After that the player was froze on the docking mode and i hit the reset button with a paper clip. Then after that for some strange reason my computer does not detect my zen vision m player as being connected to the computer. the docked screen appears on my player but the arrows keep spinning and my pc keeps saying found new hardware mtp device and does nothing but repeat that over and over again. I run windows xp pro service pack 2 with windows media player installed. I really need help asap to resolve this issue and have my pc reconize it normal again where i can access my music folders and playlists again.

The core problem is related to Microsoft Windows Media . To resolve the issue, you need to uninstall MWM v from the Add/Remove Programs. Then it will rollback to MWM v9. Unplug the player from the USB port. Reinstall the supplied software from Creative if you need too. Reboot, plug the device into the USB port. Reinstall the device driver for the MP3 player. Reload the latest firmware. The file can be downloaded at

ZEN 4GB I NEED HELP PLE

I need help with this Zen 4gb, installed cd,stumped on next step, I want to download music and then play it on my player.

With the Zen 4gb, you have 3 options as to how you can transfer the mp3 or wma from your computer to it.
First method is?to use the provided Creative Media Explorer which you installed from the CD.
Second method is to use Windows Media Player to Sync your Music to your player.
Third method is to use Windows Explorer to drag and drop the songs to your player. You should see a Zen icon in your Windows Explorer and as long you put the music in the Music Folder, it would work.
Make sure that all your songs contain the ID3 tags which includes the Song title, Album Name, Track Number and Artiste Name.

You don't need USB2.0 but you will need to have at least Service Pack for your Windows XP and Windows Media Player 0 installed.

New User,need help, charging, using, everythi

I recently bought a Zen V Plus and have no tech savy so need help. I've checked with support but don't get th answers I need so thought someone here could help. Here are my questions.
1. Is there anything else that can be used as a charger besides a Zen product. I have several cell phone chargers both for house and can, can any of these be used? need to save money
2. Can the Zen be used while charging? All I get is the docked message and nothing else?
3. I use my player mainly for audio books and the battery doesn't hold for a whole book so I have to charge but when I do the book goes? back to the first part instead of holding my place. I do I hold my place?
Anybody that can give me simple clear answers please help. Because of my age I have trouble reading and the player allows me to enjoy books but I have trouble understanding how to make it work. Don't laugh but my 3 year old grandson would probably have better luck with getting it to work.
Thanks for any help provided

Li'vewolf,
First, no three year old will do better than you can with the player. That said, spend some time reading the tutorials listed under support at the top of this page, and use the search in this forum to find everything you can about the Zen V Plus.
When I shut down my Zen V plus, while reading my current audiobook, I just hit the pause button and then pull down the slide button on the left for "shutting down". Some of my books seem to do better with just a shut down instead of pause first. I have found that the bookmark feature is more trouble than it is worth. I use audiobooks from NetLibrary and Overdri've and a few extra from a forum on audiobooks. It seems that they all work differently when shutting down and holding a place.
Anyway, spend some time trying different methods of bookmarking. The Zen V Plus is fairly forgiving player.
Best Wishes.

One more thought for recharging your battery. Try Amazon or eBay for a recharger, if you can't afford the Creative charger, but remember that you can fry the player if you use the wrong one and the warranty doesn't cover that damage. The easiest and cheapest way to recharge is to use the computer.

Need help to develop Pythagoras theorem-

Hi i need help to develop proofs 2,3,4
of pythagoras theorems in java as demonstrations
These are applets can anyone help me with it or give me an idea of how to go about developing it -
the site is the following
http://www.uni-koeln.de/ew-fak/Mathe/Projekte/VisuPro/pythagoras/pythagoras.html
then double click on the screen to make it start

Pardon my ASCII art, but I've always liked the following, simple, geometric proof:
     a                   b
---------------------------------------+
|       |                                |
a|   I   |              II                |
|       |                                |
---------------------------------------+
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
b| IV   |              III               |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
---------------------------------------+It almost goes without saying that I+II+III+IV == (a+b)^2, and II == IV == a*b,
I == a*a and III == b*b, showing that (a+b)^2 == a^2+a*b+a*b+b^2.
I hope the following sketch makes sense, stand back, ASCII art alert again:     a                   b
---------------------------------------+

+                                        |
|      .                                 |
a|               .                  . VII |
| VIII                   .              |
---------------------------------------+
                 a                    bThe total area equals (a+b)^2 again and equals the sum of the smaller areas:
(a+b)^2 == V+VI+VII+VIII+IX. Let area IX be c^2 for whatever c may be.
V+VII == VI+VIII == a*b, so a^2+b^2+2*ab= c^2+2*a*b; IOW a^2+b^2 == c^2
Given this fundamental result, the others can easily be derived from this one,
or did I answer a question you didn't ask?

Need help to open audios attached in a PDF file

Hello
I just need help. I have ordered a reviewer online that has audios and texts in a pdf file. I was told to download the latest adobe reader on my computer. I have done the same thing on my ipad mini. I am not so technical with regards to these things. Therefore I need help. I can access the audios on my computer but not on my ipad.
I want to listen to audios with scripts or texts on them so i can listen to them when i am on the go. I was also informed that these files should work in any device. How come the audios doesnt work on my ipad.
Please help me on what to do.
Thanks

Audio and video are not currently support on Adobe Reader. :-<
You need to buy a PDF reader that supports them. My suggestion is PDF Expert from Readdle ($US 9.99)
