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 !

    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.

  • 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.

  • A really annoying problem regarding the Zen Vision M 30 g

    When I go to the creative media?program it says that I don't have a player plugged in. I've done the system registry editing for the USB that was on the support page, but that doesn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have Windows Media player 0 installed at the moment but I'm going to try to get the th version installed when I get home. Last time I tried to get it to install it wouldn't for some reason,?but I'm going to?look into that problem. I don't think this is related to the Windows Media player though.

  • 2 questions regarding the zen vision

    Hey everyone, here goes:
    . I noticed that when i look at the trtack time while playing a song, the track time sometimes freezes up. for example, im at :5, then 6: then all of a sudden im at :8 already. The audio i being played brilliantly, its just the track time thats confusing me.
    2. Is there a firmware version that will allow you to display album art full screen when you press the touchpad. On the ipod pressing the circle in the middle shows rating, and then album art. I wish the vision m would have this function. any ideas?
    many thanks

    Despite the fact that the first segment you posted was a statement and not a question at all, i'll try to take a jab at what you mean. This also happens on my device. I love the device but it is all the little things that scream for a large firmware overhaul, which it seems that in this life, Creative will not ever provide. Currently my device is experiencing the Black Screen of Death and I am heavily disappointed with Creative. Concerning your second question, I do not believe this feature to be available.

  • Windows 7 64 bit driver for the Zen Vision M?

    - Where EXACTLY can I find the Windows 7 64-bit driver for the Zen Vision M? My new computer came with it installed in Windows Media Player 2, but the driver became corrupt. I can't seem to find that driver on the Creative or Microsoft download websites. Please Help!

    The driver is nati've to Windows. Creative does not write the MTP driver. I would suggest re-install WMP2 or contact Microsoft for advice if it is corrupt. As for software to use the player on a 64 Win 7system? there is nothing for the Vision M. You may want to read this page? http://support.creative.com/KB/showarticle.aspx?sid=605&h=3

  • Data Recovery Software for the Zen Vision M

    Data Recovery Software for the Zen Vision M:
    Has anyone had any success recovering lost sound files from a Vision M, with software, physical repair services, or otherwise? Does anyone claim to be able to recover information from these devices?
    The data recovery programs I have tried fail to recognize the dri've, since it doesn't show up in list of dri'ves for some reason (Is there a way to make this show up?). Any suggestions/ recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I lost over a year of recordings after an unexpected forced reformatting. How would one even go about finding someone for this job?
    Thanks, GW

    Haven't really tried the data recovery so I would like to know more about this one too.

  • What has changed in the Playlist Creation on the Zen Vision:M compared to the older Ze

    Hi, I have a Zen Micro for a year now. It works flowlessly and I have have a lot of good time with it. But yes , there ist now the Zen Vision:M (sadly :-)).
    I have read that the way to create a playlist on the vision:M is somewhat different compared to the Zen Micro for example. Can somebody explain what has been changed. In the review was said that it is more advances , but it is not as friendly as it it on the older Zens.
    And one more thing: is the radio reception on the vision:m really a lot better than on the Micro? ( is was said in the article I read, just can't figure out where it was...) I really anticipated to be able to listen to radio with the micro, but hier in Hamburg (Germany) I can get a relati'vely clear reception of just TWO senders (from time to time). This is the point where the Micro dissapoints (my opinion ofcourse).
    Thank you!Message Edited by plam_mk on 02-04-2006 02:38 PM

    Hi Wupperbayer,
    Danke f?r die Antwort. Ja , die hat mir geholfen eine bessere Vorstellung von dem Player zu kriegen.
    Tja, ich habe echt gehofft , dass man auch die option haben w?rde, Lieder zu einem beliebigen Playlist hinzuf?gen zu k?nnen, und nicht nur zu dem, der gerade abgespielt wird. Der Radioempfang, sagst Du also ist besser. das ist f?r mich eigentlich noch wichtiger, da ich gerne ab und zu Radio h?ren will, was mit dem Micro nicht wirklich gelingt.
    Ich m?chte dich noch gerne Fragen, ob du die Videofunktion brauchbar findest, ob Du ggf nach einer Konvertierung deine Filme auf dem Player gut abspielen kannst. Wie ist die Qualit'st der abgespilten Filme? Ja, da ich es noch nicht gesehen habe, kann ich es mir nur sehr schwer vorstellen, einen Film auf dem Player in der S-Bahn zu richtig zu geniesen. Findest Du pers?nlich, dass sich die Anschaffung vom Player gelohnt hat?Der Kostet letzt?ndlich ?ber 300 Euro, und ich bin halt nur ein Student, und an Geld komme ich sehr schwer ran (daf?r bin ich aber ein gro?er Fan von Music, Filme und Fotografie :-( )
    Ja , ich bedanke mich bei Dir, wei? nicht ob ich etwa zu viel gafragt habe...
    kannst ja uch nicht alles beatnworten, oder gar nicht beantworten. Viele Gr?e
    Hi guys, I will translate in a concise manner the obove writing. I aksed whether I can take a movie. convert it propely and play it on the player. And that is not all: I just want to get most of the information from the picture as I do it on he PC, read very good quality. I have also hoped, that the possibility to add a song to every playlist, not just the one that is being played, would become a reality. But one very important thing however, is that the radio reception have been improved.

  • Problems with the Zen Vision:M 6

    I'm experiencing a lot hangs and lockups with my Zen Vision:M 60GB,
    the newest firmware that is viable for the Zen Vision:M 60GB already
    on my Zen Vision:M 60GB, firmware version .2.02e, sometimes the
    clean up in the service mode works fine, had also a situation
    that everything went so bad that it lockedup when I turned my Zen on,
    had then to refresh the firmware and lost all my music on its hard dri've,
    costed me hours to get everything back on it.
    Please, Creative do something about these lockups bring new firmware out
    that solves these problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Please start supporting the Zen Vision:M 60GB again.

    I use Widows XP Professional SP3 and Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 with medially .
    I can't see why this matters because the problems are located at the player itself, I've got no
    problems with moving files to the player or any problems with connecting the player with the computer,
    I'm experiencing a lot of freezups of the firmware of the player, harddisk keeps running, it does that
    till the battery is low or till I push reset, sometimes this doesn't help at all, the operating system at
    the harddri've gets somehow damaged by the instability of the filesystem, reflashing the firmware helps
    the. Problems appear to be a software problem with the firmware, the player went away for repairs once,
    with this problem, they have checked the harddisk, harddisk was fine but the os crapped up it's self
    somehow, know this because I asked them to tell me every thing what was wrong and how they solved this,
    asked them also how I could fix the player myself? if it was no hardware problem.
    They told me to reflash the firmware and format the dri've from the service mode out.

  • Does the Zen Vision:M

    Does the Zen Vision:M have the capability to play pod casts or can only Ipods play podcasts?

    That wierd, I've had two Zen Vision M's and they've both came with AC?adapters. I just recently went on a vacation where I was listeing to my ZVM alot in the hotel and on the long dri'ves along the country side. Theres no way my Zen Vision would have made it a whole week if I had not had my AC adapter.If they really wanted to cut back on the freebies they could have kept that stupid pouch and those useless MP3s that come preloaded onto the player. But the AC Adapter was essentional to the functionality of the player.

  • Quiestion about the Zen Vision M Tv feat

    what the heck is that litle "TV" tab under VIDEOS menu in the Zen Vision M for?
    please answer, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    For TV shows, Like if you had some in your WMP library, they would/should go there. Obviously no need to put emphasis on Videos, since it's obvious it's for tv related videos, and not an actual tv tuner.

  • Accessories that come as standard with the Zen Vision: M 30gb.

    Hi,?This may be a silly question, but do headphones come as standard with the Zen Vision: M? The only reason I ask is because I know it isn't standard to get?a charger. Also, there is an option to buy an accessories pack which has a charger but also has earphones. It is possible that these earphones are just better than the ones included but I thought it better to ask the silly question before I buy ?Thanks

  • Where are all the Zen Vision

    I'm looking to purchase a 2nd Zen Vision M. (The first one is dead, all I get is a Hardware Problem Icon). However I noticed two things.
    . They seem to be $30 cheaper than they were in January.
    2. Everywhere seems to be sold out.
    Does anyone know a place to get one in San Diego, CA?
    Finding one online is also a chanllenge, though I did find some at Walmart.com But are they any other places with them in stock, preferably a white one?
    Why have the Zen Vision Ms been so limited everywhere?

    I would like to see this answer too as I have ordered one for $280 on Amazon in white about a week and a half ago and it has not shipped yet. This isn't too long of a wait but on the page for the white creative vision m's, people have said they have been waiting for nearly a month. I think black is in supply on Amazon but I wanted a white one but if they are going to take months to be back in supply, I'll just get a black one. Amazon is also the only place where I have seen the black one in stock, all my local electronic stores are out of supply.
