New Creative ZEN Firmware 1.21.03" firmware does not work

>New Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03" firmware does not work This new "Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03, Filesize : 7.6 MB" firmware does not work.
All I get is : "Please make sure there is only one player connected" (See image below)
I have a CreativeZen 4GB player with Vista 64-Bit Operating system (Main System).
Yes, I have followed the instructions step-by-step, downloaded the new firmware first, then, connected my ZEN player, double-clicked the "ZEN_PCFW_L22__2_03" downloaded file.
Note : No other programs were running in the backround, even turned off installed firewall and anti-virus software. Also, tried this new firmware in a Windows XP (SP2) computer system and a Notebook Vista 32-Bit computer system. Yes! I only have one player connected. Same result (See image below).
I left it sit for one hour and did not move, same result (See image below).
I tried this in safemode (All OS systems), same result (See image below).

Re: New Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03" firmware does not work$ I updated my Zen 32GB using Vista x64 so it can work under some situations. Can't say my upgrade went problem-free but it did work in the end.
You might try some of the following (no promises they will help, but can't really hurt):
Re-download the firmware updater. Maybe you got a bad download.
Make sure your Zen is directly connected to a system USB port (i.e. not to a port on a monitor, keyboard, ext USB hub, etc.)
Try running the firmware update as Administrator if you aren't already
Try uninstalling the Creative drivers before the update.
In my case I got stuck on a message that another application was using my Zen. Turned out the simple act of hooking up the player resulted in Vista running a headless "wmplayer.exe *32" process. I had to manually kill it from TaskManager in order to proceed. Even then the first update attempt ended with the Zen reporting a firmware problem and rebooting into the Recovery Menu. I had to use Reload Firmware to erase what it had and then try again. Second time was the charm.
After all that I can't for the life of me see any changes/improvements in the new firmware. The forum is full of gripes and wishlists yet none of them complain about the radio functionality. I've used it almost every day for year without issue (aside from the rare Zen hang/crash when messing with the headphone jack and/or sliding the power switch). Thank goodness after waiting 0- months since the last update they got around to fixing something nobody noticed was broken. /2?:smileyvery-happy:

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.

    My new (2 months old) 5s fingerprint recognition sensor does not work. It worked well when I first got it but now to get it to work I have to redo my fingerprints every few days, which completely negates the convenience and cost of the phone.  I have tried all the tips and they help a little but it always stops working and I have to redo my fingerprints. Does Apple read these comments?  Is there an app that might help?

    Apple does not read here.
    If you want Apple to know send feedback

    I also have iPhone 5s on day one and it's working since. When it's not registering, I just clean the Home button and it works straight away.
    Did you try when registering fingerprint using all angles? It should learn the more you use it.
    Did you clean the sensor with a soft cloth?

  • Installed "NEW" Flashplayer 11 SIX times...still does not work...HOW can I get this to work???

    First...I am NOT a developer...Just a "regular" user who is now fed up that once again, a new Adobe product has been released with bugs, so now I can no longer see whast I need to on my laptop. 
    Here's what I do know:
    IE 9
    Windows 7 - Home Version
    64 bit platform
    Tried to install your latest version of Flash Player six times...all of these times I received a confirmation that it was successfully completed.  NONE of those time did it work (tried YouTube, and your own site...nada).  I used the troubleshooting tips for Windows 7 and IE9...did not work.  And now I can't find a way to reinstall the old program that at least worked!  I need to be able to use this functionality to work today...what do I do?????

    Hello!
    I own a small company and we are having the same problems.
    IE9 is not working with the latest flash update infact the update has messed up flash complety for all sites once installed.  I went to YouTube eariler and it warned that I needed to install to the new Flash Player upon instaling and returning to YouTube it had the same message. This led us to download both the x86 and x64 versions and useing the uninstaller went through each one and tried the updates. None of the downloadable updates from Adobes site works. I have also loaded up Windows XP in a virtual machine and trying IE 8 with the latest updates and it as well does not work and does the same thing upon updateing it just keeps saying to install the latest update allthough it has allready been done!
    Now on the other hand I loaded FireFox and it had the same update and upon restarting the browser after applying the update and it works just fine!
    Im on a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate box and ran the WindowsXP in the VM. FireFox was loaded on the main OS and worked fine after said update.
    Of Course I have allready double checked the running addons in IE 9 and the files within the /system32/ and all the flash files go there (x86 and x64 were differnt named files)
    Im guessing there is something conflicting betwen IE (IE 8 and 9 tested)
    Now this is not just happining on this machine but all of our desktops and laptops no one has any trouble with FireFox working
    Also this will break all flash objects in IE even localy as now no flash works it acts like it is not installed.
    Guess will see how long this takes to get fixed or aknowledged...  lol

  • New Creative Zen Firmware Upgrade Borked - update: I think it's fi

    Hello!
    I got a new 6gb Creative Zen today. Have a question:
    1. I upgraded the firmware after the original CD load. There were 4 critical updates. However, after all that ran, the Zen is messed up - I get a screen that has Clean Up, Format All, Reload Firmware and Reboot. When I tried to reboot I get a Reload Firmware message. I cannot get into the system at all.
    I'm sure I'll have more questions later. Thanks for the help!Message Edited by Gankaku on 0-6-200809:0 PM
    EDIT: I re-downloaded the firmware from the site and reinstalled and maybe things are ok now? I have access to the player from a Windows window. Hopefully all is well now.Message Edited by Gankaku on 0-6-200809:37 PM

    My microphoto is doing the exact same thing. When I boot to recovery mode and select any of the options the player freezes while trying to execute the task. For example if I select 'clean up' the 'scan disk...' window comes up and immediately freezes. The only option in recovery mode that functions is the restart option, but when I restart it freezes at the creative logo again.
    Ideally I would like to upgrade the firmware, but like traceinnabox my computer does not recognize the player...
    This seems to be a problem that is not unique to me. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

  • TS2756 i downloaded the new itunes and now my hotspot via usb does not work on my macbook. (it was before) i have an iphone 5s.

    usb hotspot not working with new itunes. i have an iphone 5s. wifi hotspot still works but the macbook says in system preferances under iphone that its not connected or not responding. really annoying

    "Will not work" is useless when asking for help.  Without specifics, no assistance can be provided.

  • When I updated to ios 5 I was forced to create a new Apple ID. Now my iTunes sync does not work properly.  Why did it do this and is there a way to fix it?

    I already had an iTunes account when I pushed the iPhone.  After upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, I kept receiving an error message saying that my AppleID was invalid, even though it worked perfectly within iTunes on my PC.  It seemed to want my email address as my "new" AppleID so I entered that, but it created a second ID. It seems my cloud account and the "phone" iTunes is attached to the newer ID and my "PC" iTunes account is attached to the older ID.
    Now, when I try to sync iTunes, I don't see all of the songs I purchased, some sync and others appear to sync but are grayed out with the sync icon next to the title. The songs are still on my phone, but not in my iTunes library. 
    Is there any way to fix this and consolidate the accounts? Also, why did the upgrade force me to create a new AppleID? I haven't upgraded to the 4 or 5 phone because I'm afraid this is going to happen again and I'll have a third AppleID to contend with.
    Thanks!!

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

  • I updated to new 3.6.6 version now my browser does not work at all just gives me an untitled tab. neither bookmarks or google button work .

    Updated to new version 3.6.6 now browswer doesn't work. Just gives me a untitled tab. Bookmarks nor google button work either.

    On my previous post I said:
    "When upgraded to FF 3.6.6, due to Norton 360 v.4, everything froze.
    My solution was to downgrade to FF 3.6.4, because with that version i had no problems, and now again everything works fine.
    Not the best solution but it is better than downgrading to FF 3.5.x as I saw many users did."
    Now I want to add that, after running FF 3.6.4 for 3 days, i got again the security warning to upgrade to FF 3.6.6, so I did.
    Now am running FF 3.6.6, and even with Norton, everything works fine, no bugging, freezing, refreshing, blank pages...
    I can't figure out why the problem still persist for other users. Now maybe it is not due to Norton any more?

  • Creative Suite CS 5.5 Design Premium does not work with Lion

    Wenn ich InDesign starten möchte, erscheint die Meldung"Um Adobe InDesign CS5.5 starten zu können, müssen Sie eine Java Runtimeinstallieren, aber es besteht keine Verbindung zum Internet."
    Diese Meldung ist aber falsch. Eine Internetverbindung  besteht (wie auch der angebotene Test"Netzwerkdiagnose" ergibt / ich kann ja auch diese Meldungschreiben).
    Einzig Adobe Bridge kann ich starten, bei allen anderenAdobe Produkten erhalte ich dieselbe Meldung. Eine Aktualisierung der Softwareüber die Bridge (Hilfe --> Aktualisierungen) bringt keine Änderung.
    Was kann ich tun?
    Ich habe bereits eine Neuinstallation über die DVDsversucht. --> ohne Ergebnis.
    Die Creative Suite funktioniert so nicht.
    CS 4 hatte funktioniert. CS 5.5 funktioniert nicht mehr.

    Try this method outlined by Adobe:
    You can use the following method to initiate the Java runtime installation or confirm it is currently installed.
    Go to Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.
    Open the Java Preferences.
    If Java is not installed, you receive the following message:         
    “To open “Java Preferences," you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?”

  • Restrict creation new e-mail accounts on Ipad2 4.3 does not work..

    Hello everybody
    For business use i have to secure the Ipad2. I am using the Iphone configuration utility 3.3 to block some features.
    It´s not possible to block the creation of E-mail accounts with this utility. I found out it is possible to restrict on the Ipad itselve using the restrictions option >General>Restrictions...So i have activated this option.
    However clicking the envelop on the homescreen it´s still possible to bypass and to add an e-mail account for example gmail on the Ipad ?? I was rather suprised this was still working but perhaps i am doing something wrong.
    Do you have any idea what is causing this issue or is it maybe a bug?
    Thanks for your feedback.

    Hi. Does anyone know the answer to this? I found this out as well, though my hardening requires me to actually seal off email usage.
