I have the same problem. It all started yesterday when I was installing the cd drivers in my new computer. I have searched numerous forums and some people had to return the product. Please admins help on this issue as I understand it is very serious.

  • ZEN VISION M SERIES MEDIA EXPLORER NOT WORKING ON WINDOWS 7

    Recently installed the much hyped windows 7. Installed my zen vision m. Everything is ok except media explorer is not working from the shortcut on the desktop or i can't find the exe in the creative folder file to get it started. All i get is "this filse does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.please install a program or,if one is already installed,create an association in the default programs control panel "
    i can access the music & picture files as a hard drive folder.
    Anyone any ideas?

    My experience has been that the original software that came on CD with the Visionn M is not compatible with my new 64 bit Windows 7 OS but that the updated version availabloe for free download on the support site does work just fine. My remaining frustration (which appears unresolvable) is that unlike the original, the "new and improved" media explorer from the website?will only rip to WMA format and does not offer the MP3 option that was the core of the original program. I think this is incomprehensible and reprehensible for a device that is sold as an "MP3 player". I did not intentionally?buy an expensi've "WMA player" but thanks to Creative, I guess I ended up with one. I have bought literally a dozen Creative media players over the years for friends and family but this makes me so angry that I will never buy another.

  • Regarding the Zen Vision M: Series Media Explorer.

    For some reason, whenever I click on it, it gives me an error message saying, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Assocations control panel."? What can I do to get it to start working again?

    Hi, is the problem occuring while your zen is docked to your computer ? I guess so right ? What I would do would be to uninstall everything from the computer, and reinstall again. Maybe you just happened to delete or misplaced an important file that now prevents it from working correctly. If you have a windows xp, you can also try to "restore" your computer back to a date where everything was working fine.Otherwise than that, I don't know anymore !Good luck, let us know if it worked !

  • Cannot Paste? ZEN Vision M Series Media Explo

    Has anyone else been able to move a file from within the Vision M, using media explorer. I cannot drag and drop, cut / paste nor right click cut / paste to move a file from one folder to another. This is with ZEN Vision M Series Media Explorer 5.2.06 on XP (SP). Our IT guys have disabled? Windows Media?Player installation, but I don't use that on the laptop anyway?It acts like it's about to cut the file(s) (the files become highlighted / faded). Can't paste to save my life.

    Maybe I need to Clarify. I want to move a few individual files from one folder in the zen to a different folder in the zen.When I start the process, I begin by cutting the file(s). So far so good. The file(s) selected change color and fade out like you would normally expect.Now I double click, select and open the folder I'm trying to move the file into. If I right click or try to select Paste, it's grayed out.
    Instead of cutting/pasting, have you tried drag and drop?
    I just highlight the files I want by left clicking [using the Ctrl or Shift keys to select more than file] and while keeping the left mouse button depressed, 'drag' the files to where I want.
    Releasing the left mouse button completes the transfer.

  • Two problems with Zen Vision: M

    Hi all. I'll give my player's specs before describing the problem(s):Zen Vision: M 30 GBVersion .40.02 Anyway, I've had my Zen for about 4 months now, and up until now, it's worked perfectly. Recently, for the first time, it froze on me. I figure it was because I was shuffling through songs on random too quickly, as I see other people have had this problem too. So I reset the player, but it only rebuilt halfway; on the "Rebuilding" screen, the green line stops about halfway through. Now, whereas I once had about 2600 songs I'm down to a little over 000. I didn't think it was that big of a problem; I've either got all my songs backed up on my computer or CD. But when I connected the Zen to my computer, my computer couldn't read the device. Sort of, that is. My Zen can still charge through my computer and when I plug it into the computer, a message will pop up asking me what I'd like to do with the MP3 device. However, when I go to Zen Vision: M Series Media Explorer, I get the message "Your player is not connected. Please connect your Zen Vision: M Series to the computer." I went through the FAQ at the top of the message board and tried basically every solution outside of trying the Zen on another computer. I'm thinking it's a problem with the player, not my computer. It still acts erratically at times- like, if I leave it off for an extended amount of time and turn it on, it'll go into rebuilding mode. Other than that, though, it's fine. Could the hard dri've be corrupted Any help would be appreciated.

  • Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:M

    )Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:MX Lately, my Vision M is having problems that when I plug it into the USB port on any PC to charge it, it lights up for a moment and then goes blank.
    When I unplug it and reseat the usb cable, nothing happens. When I try to turn it on, it's dead. This happens even though it's not fully depleted of battery energy.
    Pressing the reset button does not do anything. The only thing that I've found that will work is to open it up and unplug the battery. But even that is starting to not work.
    This doesn't happen every time I use it, but it is happening quite a bit. It's gotten to the point today that I can't even charge the battery at all.
    Any suggestions? I don't think it's the battery, as it does charge when I don't have these issues, but I'm not really positi've of that either.

    The connector on the motherboard check it . It may need to be resoldered. The last time I ran into those symptoms that was the solution.

  • Problem with a patch for Creative Media Explorer for Ze

    Has anyone had any problems with their PC (rebooting itself after install and getting a blue screen) when downloading and installing the update for Creative Media Explorer for Zen M to fix the album art problem for WMP?I downloaded this update per a response I got to thread here:http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=79299?I downloaded the patch to update Creative Media Explorer. I was going to upgrade WMP to after that?but my PC got stuck at the startup screen during boot up. The hard dri've light indicator was on solid also. I thought maybe the dri've had died since I have had it for quite some time now. I took the dri've out and put it in an external enclosure I have that connects via USB. I was able to get into BIOS and set the boot order to boot from a USB dri've. When it started to boot up, it looked as if it was going to come up but it didn't. I seen a flash of a blue screen and the PC rebooted itself. I'm wondering if the update is causing the OS to hose up on start up. That's why I'm just wondering if anyone has downloaded this update with any problems. The update can be found here: http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=3&x=40&y=7. It is number 5. I'm currently defraging my dri've and I am somehow going to try and repair the OS if I can and uninstall Media Explorer and reinstall. Oh one other thing, it will not boot into safe mode either.

    I downloaded the patch and installed it on my PC and everything worked like a charm, and right after that my music started showing Album Art.However, I still didn't replace the new firmware on my Zen Vision M (.6) and I wonder if I should, since everything seems to work wonderfully well at this point?

  • Problems with Zen Vision M: 30

    I? am having a couple of problems with my player. I have hooked it up to every computer in my house and I get the same result from each one. When I hook the player up the blue light at the top will flash for a couple seconds then will stop. I have left it hooked up to the computer for a day and when I take it off it will not turn on. The player is unresponsi've and will not charge. Does anyone have any suggestions for my problem?

    I have had this unit for over a year. The site does not seem to directly refer to it anymore but only mentions the 60 gig model until you find the right links in support. I saw your message while trying to bring mine back to life 9 months of non use. It is really to heavy for my jogs which is when I listen to music lately. Anyhow if you installed the device driver on the system it should recognise it. If you dont then windows is pretty dumb about it and a newer USB 2.0 system will shut off the current when it does not recognize it; .0 systems might charge it but 2.0 not likely. I have run into the same thing trying to get a quick charge on my motorola razer cell phone and I carry the driver on a flash dri've.
    Once my zen M:30 did power up it appeared that the firmware had a problem. There is a recovery program which solved that and updated the firmware to the latest version. Since the unit worked until I turned it off I can only assume the error was caused by the deep discharge of the battery over 9 months. I did find it interesting that the 30 gig Microsoft zune crashed over leap year issues yesterday. I hope the older Zen firmware did not hav the same problem. :-)?
    Anyhow the link to the recovery tool is here

  • Random Problems with Zen Micro? Try a diff. USB cable

    I know people have mentioned this in other posts, but I thought I would reiterate it here. Many people seem to be complaining that their player is not recognized, or only sometimes recognized, or recognized by Windows (as a USB device) but not by their Creative software, or songs won't transfer, etc. Well, I had some similar problems which ALL went away when I started using a different USB cable - the one that shipped with the Micro just doesn't seem to work consistently.
    So, if you are having problems with your player that you can't seem to solve any other way, you may want to try a different USB cable. It worked for me.
    Hope this helps - I am (now) loving my new Micro!

    I tried a different USB cable also, I thought that it would help, but I still got the same problems. I can almost guarantee that although you think you may have solved your issues, they WILL come back.
    I've also been experiencing the "Player Not Connected" problem with my Zen Micro.
    I've also had the problem where the Zen Micro just freezes in the "Docked" screen even after it has been disconnected from the PC
    I've noticed that these are common problems with Zen Micros with the new firmware (.0.03)
    My old Zen Micro with the old, original firmware did NOT have this connectivity problem
    Creative should investigate these issues associated with this new firmware, or maybe even making the old firmware available for download to see if this really is the source of all these problems.

  • Problems With Zen Touch Turn

    After just recently purchasing a Zen Touch in December 2005, I already have problems with it.
    I have never dropped it or hit it. I plugged it in to re-charge one day after using it and when it was done charging I turned it on, used it for 5 minutes then set it down. The next morning I went to turn it on to use it, and it wouldn't turn on. The blue light at the side on the power button was on, but the screen just wouldn't show up. Now the blue light won't turn off. I have read about these problems with Zen Micro freezing up and read about Zen Touch freezing up back in 2004 when it was released. I have phoned the number but couldn't seem to get through. Should I consider taking it in? Or is there an easier way?

    Have you tried resetting it's Connect to the mains adapter and press the tiny recessed button on the side of the player. Don't use anything sharp to press it, a bent paper clip is best.

  • Problem with Zen Xt

    I purchased a refurbished Zen Xtra back in May and had the player lock up on several occasions. It would eventually resolve if I let the batteries drain and then recharge. The last time it happened I came to these forums and learned how to enter recovery mode. I tried to do a firmware update which failed and now the player will only boot into recovery mode. When I attempt to do the firmware update I get the message player not connected. I can see the player connected in windows and can actuall browse the HD which is obviously now empty. How can this be resolved?

    Re: Problem with ZEN MX >FYes, it's true. Creative Centrale is full of **bleep**.:robotmad: You can use it only to one thing. To convert films from your computer to their stupid format called "cmv". But even with this it's stil the same problem. This is crap, because sometimes you can do it, but sometimes not. Beside of this Creative Centrale doesn't have any good functions. For further users - don't install Creative Centrale! You will have more free space and do all things (without moving films to watch on your player) just from your computer and not this **bleep**.

  • Problems with IMAQ Vision after upgrading from Labview 6i to Labview 6.1

    Hi,
    We just upgraded from Labview 6i to 6.1.To do this,we uninstalled the 6i version as was suggested by NI and then installed the 6.1 version.Later when we tried to run the old vi's written using Imaq vision, we ran into different problems.Has anyone experienced any similar problems with IMaq vision after upgrading?If so please help me solve this issue.
    Thanx
    deepak

    What kind of problems?
    I would strongly suggest that you uninstall IMAQ (all elements) and reinstall them. They register with Windows, probably docked to 6i, and also must be recompiled, which I believe is done in installation.
    This is your best bet.
    If you still have problems, contact NI and ni.com/ask and start a support inquiry.

    Problem with Thunderbird email:
    When I send email using a mailing list, with my email included in the list, the message shows up in my Sent list and others receive it but it does not come to my email Inbox. The same problem occurs when I send the email to the mailing list addresses individually. When I send a simple test message to myself, I do receive it in my Inbox. Can you help me??

    Are you using either cc or bcc? Is googlemail involved? Some email providers suppress cc's and bcc's to oneself since you will have a copy in your Sent folder.
