Zen V Plus recognized by device manager, but not by Media Explorer/Windows Media Pla

Hi,
I just got back from Best Buy after buying a Creative Zen V Plus. I installed everything from the CD and plugged in the player, but the Media Explorer doesn't recognize it (even after restarting PC). The Device Manager recognizes it but there's an exclamation mark next to it. The Windows Wizard came up numerous times asking me for permission to connect to the internet and install the driver for me, and after a while I tried doing so but it said it couldn't find anything (I would like to shave that wizard's beard off).
I went through all the stickies in the forum and about 3 different troubleshooting sessions with no luck. I googled it and asked this question on Ask Yahoo!, but no luck yet.
Here's my PC info:
Windows XP SP2
768MB Ram
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
USB 2.0 (I tried different ports, the player does seem to be charging as there's a little lightning bolt flashing on top of the battery icon)
I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
Thanks!

Ok. I checked my version of XP. It is XP Pro, Version 2002, SP2. I checked and already had the 2 hotfixes that were listed as being needed before proceeding. I followed all the steps and changed the registry key on "everyone" as the instructions stated to do. My ZVM is still not recognized by any of the software for transferring or organizing MP3's. My computer still recognizes that it is attached. It still gives me the device icon in the task bar. It still says it's A-ok in the Device Manager. It does everything, except it is not detected by ANY of my music software. <sigh>? Frustration is at its peak for me right now. I really appreciate all of the efforts. I'm at my wits end now. I have done everything you have indicated I should, but am getting the same results. I did purchase an extended warranty from Circuit City where I purchased this last summer. Is that the next step? Do I need to get this replaced?I love this player and really don't want to go through this again. We had to exchange it twice in the first month because it froze up and wouldn't do a thing. This last one has been perfect. I keep it in a leather padded case at all times. It never has the battery drained. It never gets jostled or bumped or dropped or anything that might damage it. When not being played, it stays on my desk in the case.
Thanks so much for any and all help.

Creative Media Explorer & Windows 7

I have a Sleek Photo and recently purchased a laptop with Windows 7. When I went to load Creative software, everything went fine except Media Explorer no longer works. It seems to be looking for Windows Explorer as a shell and can't find it's Windows Media Player/Center works with the Sleek but Creative's program worked smoother as a shell (with XP) and for ripping. Is this a Window's 7 issue? Am I relegated to WMP from now on? As a side bar, the Zencast program works fine. Thx, TL

I found this out the hard way too...the Zen Media Explorer does not work with Windows 7 in either 32 bit or 64 bit versions. You have to uninstall the Zen Media Explorer and use their new (and worse in my opinion) Windows 7 Creative Starter pack...it will work but it's not pretty. I believe the program once installed is called Centrale. You'll find it on the page for your specific media player. For example, mine is a Zen 8 GB and my software is available from the Zen homepage: http://support.creative.com/Products...=CategoryID:23
Don't rely on the battery indicator in the software either. It's not accurate.

Creative Media Explorer for ZEN 16GB on Win7 Acting Weird

E-mailed Creative support earlier this evening only to have them get back to me that you only get a year of e-mail support This is what I originally wrote to them:
"Hello, Creative Media Explorer now acts strangely whenever I try to add music purchased from iTunes. If I drag-and- drop the iTunes music using Windows Explorer, a window will pop up saying "Preparing" and then a conversion will proceed where the iTunes music is converted from the .m4a format to a .wma file. When I try to use the "Add iTunes Media" wizard from the main Creative Media Explorer window, it says "The following files are not transferred" and says "Unknown error" under the "Reason" tab. This has never happened before. I have looked up the specs for the Creative ZEN player, and it says it can play purchased iTunes music, so I should not be seeing a conversion box or an error. I have previously added iTunes music with no problems and they playback fine. The only way I can add purchased iTunes music is to directly add to the player without using the Creative Media Explorer through "Portable Devices". When I add purchased iTunes music this way, it asks me "Do you want to convert (filename) before it s copied to your device?" and I see the options "Yes, convert and copy" and "No, just copy" with a warning on the bottom that says "Your file will be copied, but might not play on your device." I add the music, and it works fine.
I have tried the "Repair" utility under "Add/Remove Programs" in Windows; I have un-installed and re-installed the program from the original CD-ROM; and I have un-installed the program from CD-ROM and re-installed the program by downloading the .exe file for 64-bit systems from the ZEN webpage.
The only thing I can think of is that an update for Windows may have messed something up with Creative Media Explorer."

Zen micro..media explorer prob

I downloaded the latest firmware : Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware update 2.2.02 for my zenmicro.. it is working fine but now, the zen micro media explorer does not recognise the mp3 player despite it being plugged in..even if the player is being charged through the computer's usb port.. is anyone else experiencing the same thing? any ways to solve this?..thanks in advance..=]

The message comes from Windows when a USB 2.0 device is conencted to a .0/. USB port.
The device itself is 2.0 but is also backwards compatible with ., not with .0 however.
If you can otherwise use it then your port is ., if it don't work at all then you have .0.
As for MediaSource I would suggest uninstalling it completely, rebooting and clean installing directly the latest version.
However I THINK I read somewhere that MediaSource NEEDS for the device to be connected through a 2.0 port in order to correctly stream audio or sth so this may be why you can't use it...
Eitherway I would suggest buying a USB 2.0 PCI expansion card, it doesn't cost much (about 0-5$).
Hope that helped.

Help! My Zen Micro is detected but not connected to zen media explorer & mediasou

Hi
recently i just bought a creative zen micro at 5 GB. after installing all the drivers and programs using the installation CD that came with my player, I connected my player through the USB cable to my pc USB root hub.
an auto-detect of my zen micro window pops up at the righthand corner, prompting me to click 'organize' in the creative media source. clicking the organize option, mediasource program starts but while it is loading the music library, an error message: CTCMS, The program has performed a illegal operation......etc.
i tried disconnecting my player followed by opening the media source prog and connecting my player after that. another error message: file operation failed. please ensure that your player is properly connected.
I'm using windows 98 SE on an AMD processor. i was able to use the removable disk mode of my player to store data from pc. However when comes to the media mode of my player, it is shown as not connected status in the zen micro media explorer and in the creative media source program, it's either shown as not properly connected or illegal operation when loading music library from my player. in addition, under the device manager, the creative zen micro driver is shown as working properly. i was also able to upgrade my firm ware to version .02.05. using my pc to connect to my player. However, even before upgrading the firmware, this problem is already present. i have contacted the creative technical support helpdesk for advise on this issue and they have suggested to me various solutions such as checking my drivers if they are updated, reinstalling the drivers and software applications for the media library, installing jet engine service pack for my windows and the MDAC component but still nothing works.
anyone have any suggestions? pls help
thanks

Hi,
Sorry I can't help you. I just wanted to let you know I have the same exact problem. It started three days ago and I've been going back and forth with creative support and nothing has worked. I am beginning to grow really distressed. I feel a little better now because after seeing that it's happening with someone else, it is most likely not the player. I am running windows 98 SE as well. I also have an AMD Duron processor. I have a new computer on the way with windows XP I really hope it works. But now I have a new problem. I listed it on the front page of this forum a few minutes ago. My player froze and now only boots up in rescue mode. I am getting so frustrated with my player. If you figure anything out will you be as kind as to send me a message on how you got your player working again? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Nick

Why cant i use zmicro media explorer? I dont want to use WMP10?!?

hello everyone.
long story short...i purchased a zm back in october, installed software and used media explorer to xfer music. that zmicro went bad and replaced it with another one in January, installed software but cant use media explorer, i am forced to use wmp0 to synch, i HATE using wmp0, to me it's complicated and too bulky, i dont need the xtra features, i just want to xfer files in a windows explorer environment.
the only difference i notice is that my st zm had bios ver..x and this one 2.x, what is the difference? 2.x works only with wmp0? because when i open media explorer it states that the device is not connected and to please connect...and yes, it is connected and available in device manager and WMP0 detects it.
please help me with this freaking dilema, love my media explorer!!!!
thkz
ceez

@ OSUScooby, I checked out the downloads for the zmicro but the ver of media explorer is the same one that i have, 4.00.28. What else do i need?
With my st micro I just installed media explorer and it worked flawlessly, I had nothing else to install....darn it!
thkz and any other ideas please?

Zen Xtra Media Explorer questions..H

I have a Zen Xtra mp3 player, and as of right now I use the Zen Xtra Media Explorer to import media and rip cds and what not. The question I have is, why I cant put folders into other folders. Sometimes the folder of a cd wont go into the folder of the artist which has other cds. I want to make everythin neater, and combine folders so its all artist folders containin the folders of the cds. On my mp3 player it always comes up right and organized. Its just in the 'organize media' option that its like that. And yes all the ID tags and all of that are the same. I dont know what to do, of if i need another program or somethin. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

My Microphoto Media Explorer Probl

quite simple actually,i installed the cd that came with my zen microphoto onto my vista laptop, no problems.whenever i hook up my microphoto to my laptop via usb cable, vista recognizes it and installs the driver succesfully. however, when i try to load up microphoto media explorer, windows explorer crashes and half of my taskbar disappears and i essentially have to restart. i can't see any solutions :\?help please =)

Creative seems to have dropped Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer from the Downloads page. :|
I prefer the Media Explorer software to the MediaSource versions, but maybe you could use Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB)

Zen Micro Media Explorer not working

Recently I purchased a new PC. winxp. My zen worked just fine on my old PC. I installed my zen and the media explorer. When I launch the Zen Micro Media Explorer everything is grayed out. I cant click on anything. Windows media explorer shows my zen, but the Zen Micro Media Explorer is just all gray. I have FW version .3. I figued I would upgrade the FW and when I try upgading, it says the zen is not plugged in. I need to edit my playlists and I cant get into the media explorer. help!

I'm having exactly the same problem with my Creative Zen Touch 40 gB - a couple of months ago I had to re-instal windows and manage to re-install MediaSource and all the Audigy and Creative Zen drivers and they all worked together nicely. I've now upgraded the motherboard and processor, re-installed windows and cannot get mediasource to see my device. I've tried intslling the plays-for-sure software suite and it says it can't see my device and to check that the firmware is updated to PFS devices, which it is. I've tried the updated drivers, updated mediasource, uninstalled the device and re-installed it and nothing works. I'm running Windows XP Professional which has been updated with all the critical updates and also runs Media PLayer .
I know this doesn't help the previous poster, but if anyone else can help, that'd be fab.

Zen Micro Media Explorer not sorting alphabetica

I just had this problem ever since I installed the 2.20.05 firmware. I backed up all my music in a folder, I chose detailed view and usually when I click on those buttons on top that says Artist, Size, Name, etc. They arrange it from A-Z or Z-A. Zen Micro Media Explorer didn't do this for me, I clicked on Arist and everything gets mixed up. Also I have lost my Genre in all of my music during the process of backing up. It made it harder for me to sort my music back together.
And the weirdest thing is that Creative Mediasource properly sorted my music from A-Z just like how it looks like under Windows Explorer. But under the Zen Micro Media Explorer, it still doesn't display correctly.
Any reasons why this is happening?

^^ I also have the same issue, but only with one of my two microphotos. I first noticed it when I was trying to update my firmware. My first player worked perfectly, the second one always tells me that my player is disconnected (yes i've jiggled the cables and such). It then tells me that my player is not compatible with creative media explorer. Trouble is both players had the same firmware as i bought them at the same time, but one doesn't work while the other does.

Which Media Explorer version do i need for Zen Micro 5gb with Firmware 2.20.

Same old story, been trying for hours and hours to transfer music onto the player. Searching forums for answers.

I have tried installing Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB) but it doesn't recognise my player is plugged in.

Also tried installing Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) (23.98 MB) but Win Media Player 0 still doesn't recognise the player.

Should i bother installing software/drivers from the original CD i got? Or download them instead? Which do i need to download? Do i need to change the firmware?

I know these questions have been asked thousands of times, but all the answers i have read don't seem to be doing the trick.

Cheers for any help given.

Hurrah, i FINALLY got it working.
Installed drivers/software from original cd.
Downloaded/installed the Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) (23.98 MB) and managed to get the 'sync' feature working in WMP0.
Downloaded/installed Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB) but it wasn't detecting my Zen.
Went into Device Manager and firstly uninstalled the MTP Device under Windows Portable Devices.
Connected Zen again, went into Device Manager again, right clicked on the MTP device and clicked on Update Driver.
The Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update then detected my device and installed.

Problem with Zen Micro Media Explor

I got my Zen Micro the other day, and installed the software, but when i try to load the Zen Micro Media Explorer my computer goes to a blue screen and then restarts. I reinstalled the software but still have the same problem. Please help me!

Try downloading the latest version to see if that has the same problem.
Also turn off automatic restart so you can see what file is giving you the error, if there is a file.

How to make mp3s play in separate window from original Safari window

I am trying to drive a musical production from a local html file of the script (text of the play), with links to local mp3 files. Now, Safari brings up a QuickTime window to replace the script window. This makes it hard to follow the script to see when it's time to pause the mp3, etc. How can I configure Safari to play the mp3s in a separate window?

<update on my situation> I learned that Crtl-click brings up a menu to open in new window or new tab. That's much better, but odd that the same Safari Preference settings don't work (single click uses QT plugin).
I tried Firefox 3.5.5, and am getting the same results. I adjusted the treatment of mp3 and x-mp3 to use iTunes, but even after exiting Firefox and restarting, it only opens QT either using QT plugin (click) or separate tab/window (ctrl-click).
Firefox 3.5.4 on Windows works fine: I left-click on the mp3 link, and it brings up a separate WMP window.
