Please Help "Firmware Problem" w/ Zen X

I have a 60GB Zen xtra, I was downloading music when I got the battery low message. I shut the player down and didn't recharge until the next day. When I plugged it in the player started re-loading the library then it stopped and I got the message "Firmware Problem" Iwas unable to use the player. I tried turning the player off but was unable to do so until I unplugged and removed the battery. I reinstalled the battery and got the same results, "reloading library" and then "Firmware Problem." I recharged the battery and still same results. I can't access anything. This is the second player I've had with problems. What do I need to do so that I can use the player?

Try reloading the firmware or at worst reformat the player. More here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP: Big problems with my Zen Touch. (Firmware/driver issu

So here's the deal:
Last night I thought I'd finally take the time to upgrade my Zen Touch to 2. from .3 or something like that. I noticed that there was a warning saying that this was no small upgrade, and that I should back up everything I have on it.
I'm glad I did, because now my MP3 player situation is seriously screwed up, big time. During the upgrade process, my computer froze, leaving my Zen Touch without firmware (ok, so firmware version 0.0.0). Upon turning the device on, it boots up in recovery mode. This allows me to either format, clean up, or "reupload" firmware. I've tried all of these options, but the fact is clear that my computer simply will no longer recognize my MP3 player.
It does, however, recognize it at as a generic storage device. However, this isn't enough for me to reinstall the player's firmware unfortunately.
So basically, I can't update driver or firmware right now, because my computer won't acknowlege my Zen Touch!
Somebody please, please help.
I've already tried using the setup file from http://www.jumpingcholla.com/jce_nomad_ZEN.htm.
Seriously, please help!

Sort of success!
I now finally have firmware 2. installed on my Zen Touch! Yeah! I'm not entirely sure how I did it, and I'm not bothering to find out, I'm just glad I finally got it on there.
But some problems still remain. After all this fiddling with my driver and firmware and whatnot, my computer just doesn't see my MP3 the same way as it used to. Before, it was great, all I had to do was plug her in and I could bring up Zen Explorer in Windows Explorer, or organize my stuff in Creative MediaSource.
Now that's not the case. The only way I can sort of add stuff to my player now is by going into Windows Explorer, which is still more or less acknowleging my player as a "portable device". Granted, there is a dri've called "My Zen", but it doesn't bring up Zen Explorer like it used to when I click on it. Furthermore, when I go into MediaSource, I can't select it as a location, there just isn't anything there.
It almost seems as if my computer thinks I'm just using a portable hard dri've. Is there anyway I can tell it that it's an MP3 player, too?
Thanks!

*URGENT* Firmware Problem On Zen To

Hey,
Ok so i was updating my firmware using the latest
and legit download from your website when an
error occured.
Now whenever i boot up my ZEN TOUCH i
get "Firmware Problem" and it goes into recovery
mode. I have tried updating on 2 different
computers and i have done it with the AC plug in
but still nothing works. The error i get when i
try to update is that (even though the computer
recognises the zen) the update firmware
application does not recognise and asks for it to
be plugged in (also nomad explorer does not
recognise it)
Please can you guys help?

I have also tried reverting to wmp0 but still on both computers no resultMessage Edited by Drakhra on 0-5-2006 03:32 PM

Interesting... I burnt all the necessary software to a CD (which included: JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.exe [Creative Zen Touch Drivers], ZenTouch_PCFW_L4__0_03.exe [Old Firmware update], and ZenTouchP4S_PCFW_LB_2__0.exe [Latest Firmware update]). loaded the CD onto a laptop. Installed JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.exe which are the drivers for my creative zen touch. With my Creative Zen Touch plugged in via USB port. it asked me to reconnect the device. I reconnected it. I attempted to install Firmware: ZenTouch_PCFW_L4__0_03 it gave me the same error before. Then I double clicked firmware ZenTouchP4S_PCFW_LB_2__0.exe and it recognized my Creative zen and is currently updating the firmware. Suggestion:if you have all these files on the computers try uninstalling and then reinstalling. Might be a trial by error thing. Hopefully this hel

Firmware problem with zen ex

Can anyone help me with this issue. I get the message firmware problem after I turn my player on and it tries to rebuild the libraries. I have tried to update the OS in the hope this would fix it but I got the same error. As you may have guessed I am new to this and have only had the player for month.
Many thanks

'FIRMWARE PROBLEM' on Zen Touch that i can't seem to solve

Last night i was turning off my MP3 player when it started making this clicking noise over and over again and then eventually shut down after about 5 minutes. Then, later, i tried to turn it on and it started up, then made this clicking noise again and then said there was a 'FIRMWARE PROBLEM'. I came on to the Creative.com website for help, i tried to reset the machine, that didnt work, i tried to download a new updated firmware, but it wouldnt install because the computer, unlike usual, couldnt identify that there was anything plugged into my computer. Is there anything else I can do? It's not a machine that get's thrown around or anything like that, it's taken good care of, so I don't know what I have done wrong. Thank you very much,Robert Reid x

Well given the clicking noise you talk about, I think it's safe to guess that the hard dri've inside your Zen is having a serious problem. With PC hard dri'ves the only advice in these cases is a low level format, but it hardly gives any result and it's not possible with the Zen anyway.... wait for an answer from Creative customer support, but I'm afraid you will have to return your player.

Please Help! Problems with Windows Vista 32-bit on Boot Camp (Wireless/Etc)

We recently purchased a new aluminum Mac Book (13 inch) with Leopard (10.5.4). I attempted to install Boot Camp and Windows Vista 32-bit. I can successfully alternate between both operating systems with no problems. However, I am having 2 problems:
1) I cannot connect to wireless internet. No connections will even show up when I attempt to connect, its almost as if an adapter hasn't been installed.
2) I cannot set up the trackpad to do right click.
I've read articles everywhere and nothing has helped. Can anybody please help me??? Any support/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
- Pierce

dpierceNKC:
Welcome to the Apple discussions.
It appears that you may not have installed the boot camp drivers. Boot into Windows and insert your Leopard installation disk in the CD/DVD drive. This should automatically begin installation of the necessary drivers. Reboot the computer when instructed and all the hardware should work as designed.
The right click is accomplished by placing two fingers on the trackpad and then depressing the trackpad button. This should also work after the drivers are installed as instructed above.

Please Help! Why does Zen sync automatically when I plug in to char

Everytime I charge the Zen (via USB), it copies all the music so that I have double of each song, etc. I can't find how to change a setting so that it doesn't do that. please help!
Also, is there an easy way to transfer files from a Zen V to the Zen? I've tried plugging in both at the same time and opening the creative media sources for each but dragging and dropping doesn't work. I'm actually interested specifically in copying the
Zen V playlists and their contents so that I don't have to recreate the playlists on the Zen. Most of the music I have managed to copy already (most of it was in the computer from being downloaded, so I could then transferring it to the Zen) but I can't seem to figure out hte playlists or the CD music that was ripped onto the Zen V but not saved on the computer).
I'm new to this discussion group so any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Click on your Sync Manager (the two arrow icon on your taskbar)
Under preferences you will probably see the "check" under "Automatic Sync"
My preference is to have "checked" under "Manual Sync" which prevents the
"automatic sync" from happening on connection unless to
commanded to do so by manually selecting "sync" from the Zen media explorer.
Note: Please click on the help menu under the sync manager icon and read everything.
Note: The default software is set to "automatic sync"? from the factory!
I believe it should be set to the "manual sync" by default.
Before, playing with your sync options and setup backup your media data!
(to CD or flash dri've)
One trick, I use, is to change the sync arrow direction from the Zen to the PC ONLY.
(This prevents double copies of media data)
Since, in most cases, all media data e.g. music and photos are added from the PC to the
Zen device which has a solid-state flash memory, and the only way you can lose your
media data is to have a faulty Zen device. By having the arrow from the Zen to PC,
anytime you manually sync all your media data is copied, in one direction only,
from your Zen to the PC. Then, I backup the folders to a CD or flash dri've.
So, if you destroy you Zen, your media/music/photos will be safe on your PC.
If your PC goes down, then you have your media/music/photos on a CD or flash dri've.
(A double back-up) Just one thing to remember, reverse the arrow direction, if need be,
if you have a "new" / repaired Zen then reverse it back or you will lose your data!
Keep in mind, every so often to manually sync your Zen to the PC so you can have the
latest/current copy of your media data on your PC for backup.
The above information only applies to using the Zen Media Explorer and not the Windows Media Player!
Cheers.

Please help me with my zen MX.

Hi Ive had my MX for almost a year now and havent had any problems with it till now. I tried to turn it on this morning and it kept freezeing so i tried to turn it off and nothing. I pressed the reset button and now it wont turn on or do anything it just gives a black screen please help me.

Hello Puritysin,
Welcome to Creative forums!
If you are using the USB cable for charging, just leave your player connected to your computer (make sure it is not on sleep/hybernate mode) for a couple of hours and try to power it on. If you have a wall charger, much better. Charge the player for about 3-4 hours and do a reset while connected. See if that hel

Please Help Printer Problems

I have just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station. I have a Mac Book, iBook G3 and a Win XP Laptop that I have so far connected to the network.
On the base station itself I have a Western Digital My Book External Hard Drive and an HP Photosmart C4180 all in one printer connected via a USB hub.
All the computers can see the external hard drive but I can only get the Win XP Laptop to print. The two Apple laptops will not print.
One last thing all my computers connected to the internet wirelessly via my BT Fusion Home Hub before buying the base station. When I first installed the base station I connected the WAN port to the BT hub. As far as the base station is telling me everything must be setup right as I have the solid green light.
What am I doing wrong. Please help I love Apple products and really do not want to send this back.

I'd like to suggest you go to www.tune-up.com and download and install this program.
You get a 30 day free trial to start. If you sign up as a reseller you can get the program for $29 after that.
I'm not an employee of the company but I just recommend the program as it has fixed many a friends
problems and has kept my computers and my familys computers running straight and clean with no problems.
Even if you don't buy the program after using it and it fixes your problems you can uninstall it and consider it a blessing.
I'm sure once you see what it can do you will think twice to buy it.
Other than that, I don't know much about your system to even begin to try to tell you what to do as a troubleshooter.
It could be any number of things that are wrong with it. Number one, the registry might be really messed up.
Tune-up will fix that fix off for you. A computer is like a car, it has to be kept in tune in order to keep running right.
Another problem area is malware and viruses. We all know about them but do we ever really know if we might have been bit
by any of them. Most times not until something serious causes us problems. Can I suggest another program you might try?
AVG Internet Security 2011 at www.avg.com. It's another 30 day free trial program. I am also a reseller and have all my computers
and family members registered and using it.
I can tell you that with only these two programs installed on your computer you can rest easy and use your computer without any fears or problems. Let me know how it goes for you. Good luck.

Please Help, Mobo problems

Hello all, i have the new K8N neo platinum nforce3 motherboard and it has been working fine up until today when i attempted to install a stick of 256mb of PC2700 memory. After i installed the memory properly, i attempted to boot up my computer and i got the Diagnostic Sound of RAM problem. Nothing is showing up on my screen so i cant enter BIOS or CMOS. Please help i need my computer back asap

I cannot even get into BIOS. I boot up and get a blank screen and the diagnostic sound So tried to reset the jumper and that didnt work...my only other solution is that i get a few sticks of PC3200 memory. Another suggestion i hvae recieved was that i fractured my motherboard. Possibly a little hairline fracture in my motherboard that would render it useless. But why would my motherboard turn on if it was fractured? doesnt make sense. Computer powers on, but no visual on the screen and Diagnostic sound indicating a RAM problem.
