my zen micro does not work in vista either. we both bought a crappy product.
I agree, Vista is a disappointing product, considering the time MicroSoft had to work on it. :|
I hope that they'll release a Service Pack soon to address their lack of legacy device support.

electric_abacus,
Unfortunately there is little I can advise in that case, you will need to update to that firmware from an XP machine. Could you do this on a friend or relati've's PC? Or a PC in work/college/school?
rhonjay,
If you select your product in the list, and choose XP as your Operating System, it'll show you the available files. The latest PlaysForSure / MTP-compatible firmware update for the Zen Micro is filename ZenMicroP4S_PCFW_L6_2_2_02.exe
You can enter that filename on the Downloads page search, and it'll bring you right to it.

Zen Micro - Windows Vista HEL

hello,I am attempting to load up my Creative Zen Micro install disc on new pc with Vista.click on the exe file and does nothing except part show the first screen. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks??

i think its time to buy a new player, since they refuse to support old players. they made it clear to me when i was pointed to download a file with trojan worm with it. the name of the file is ZCST_PCAPP_LB__04_06.exe. this is suppose to be the zen organizer for 32 bit vista. installing this will destroy your old player, so that you will buy a new one sooner.

The Windows Vista driver probl

I can understand the frustration everyone has, but being frustrated doesn't really solve the problem now does it's? Many of you need to understand, that this is a new operating system and with any new operating system release, there will be issues and hardware problems until the third party developers are able to create working drivers for the hardware and software as well. Here's what makes creative look bad at the moment:?Creative is an extremely large company and they have been around for years. In fact, they were one of the first to market. Since... well.. I can remember as far back as Windows 3.x. You would think a company as large and advanced as Creative would have the research, money, time, developers, etc to be right on track with these drivers. Many other companies have pulled through for us. I have found drivers for all my hardware components except my Li've! 24-bit card. Well, I correct myself. I found drivers for this card on the creative website, but they were developed in 2005. Wait.... did I just say 2005? Hmm.
I thought about an alternate soundcard. I checked the Turtle Beach website, since I hear they make a good card. Unfortunately, there are no drivers available at all, whereas at least creative has released beta drivers. Perhaps it's just a pain to create drivers for Vista. Maybe some sort of bug in the operating system is complicating things. I duno. Is the problem vista or creative? ... wait a minute... let's go back. Last drivers released for my card was in 2005? hmm. And the drivers work if I go into F8 and disable drivers signature checking. I think the problem is Microsoft. They are trying to take over the world. We already should know that.

In Creative Labs' defense, the *only* reason EAX and direct access to the sound buffers were removed was strictly due to DRM and the wishes of Hollywood studios due to their irrational fears that everyone is a criminal until proven innocent.
But this was all known to every hardware manufacturer way back as early as WinHEC 2005 (about 20 months ago). Therefore, there is no excuse for not having non-beta drivers by now.
What?! You've got to be kidding me! DRM is causing us this trouble? OMFG. First DRM (Digital Rights Management, for those who don't know) keeps us from playing music by requiring licenses downloaded. Then, they make plans for "trusted computing" which will eventually require ALL video & audio to be approved before playing because they want to assume we are criminals and pirated the material. THEN the groundwork for Trusted Computing is put into Vista and now DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT IS KEEPING US FROM ENJOYING AUDIO IN GAMES, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KEEP MUSIC TO THEIR GREEDY SELVES! DAMMIT!
Do you have any links discussing DRM & removal of the HAL (Hardware Acceleration Layer) from Vista? It would be an interesting read.
It certainly isn't Creative's fault for removal of hardware acceleration for most 3D games. Wow, it's the greedy Hollywood *******s... BUT, creative still should of had a more complete driver for release. They should of had CMSS working, bass boost & bass redirect options, etc!Message Edited by Cornflake on 02-2-200706:9 PM

Zen Micro and Vista? - Sol

I am trying to get my Zen Micro (DAP-MD0004) to work with Vista to no avail. It is loaded with the latest firmware (PlaysForSure - I dont think so!!!) and Vista picks it up and installs the driver no problem.However, if I try to view music through My Computer it doesnt show anything. Windows Media Player doesnt work either because its WMP. The sync windows just keeps saying to connect a device. I have installed Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer with plugin and even though it picks up my Zen, when I try to view my music it doesnt respond and I have to kill it.Has anybody got any advice for me I have already searched the forums for Zen Micro and Vista and I have found nothing to help me. Is Creative looking into the problem of people not being able to put music onto their devices

I have finally got it to work.Here is what I did for anyone that is having the same problem:
Boot the Zen to Recovery Mode (Remove battery, hold switch in on position, and insert battery)
Run a Clean Up
Run a Format
Reboot
Install Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer with PlaysForSure Plugin
Connect Zen Micro to computer and run MediaSource
You should now be able to copy music from your computer to your Zen.
I am disappointed that I couldn't copy my music off the device first but hey-ho.
I am also disappointed that the latest version of MediaSource requires you to purchase a pack to convert music to MP3.
It never fails to amaze me what businesses will do to try and get more money from us consumers.

How to get the Windows Vista Driver for ATI Radeon 7500 card?

How to get the Windows Vista Driver for ATI Radeon 7500 card?
I am using a IBM Thinkpad T42 with a 32Mb ATI Radeon 7500 graphic card AGP.
Is there any Vista 32-bit driver to update my card so that this system support Aero effect?
Thank you.
regards,

The Radeon 9000 driver works for the Radeon 7500 card. I have successfully used it on a T43 with Vista Ultimate x86

Unfortunately no. The Radeon 9000 driver should bring your graphics score up to close to 2, but it will not get it high enough to enable Aero support.

Hoping for detailed help w/ Podcast/Zen Micro/ Windows Media 10.

Can someone please outline what steps are necessary for someone with a 5gig Zen Micro & Windows Media 0 to download (specifically) and eventually listen to podcasts on my Zen Micro.
I'm hoping for something like; You need these 3 things.....first you....second you....finally.... (hopefully there are only that many steps!)
If it is already on the board, just a cut and paste response is great....or a link to the conversation.
Thanks very much for your 'non technical'/ 'dummies' style explanation.
Cheers,

Windows Media Player 0 help files are very well done, and perhaps your answer is in there...
But as for folder creation: WMP0 arranges your music as Artist\Album\Song.mp3, doesn't matter how you have it structured on your computer, WMP0 will arrange it like that. If you use Windows Explorer then it will keep the same arrangement as your computer, like you already know.
Despite this arrangement, if you still want WMP0 to make folders on your player then:
Connect the Micro
Open up WMP0
Click on Tools-> Options
Click on Devices tab
Select your player and click Properties
Under the Synchronization tab check the box for <i>Create folder hierarchy on device</i>
As for playlist creation, WMP0 will only transfer playlists using the Auto-sync options. If you select which songs to transfer over then it will not transfer that playlist, just the songs inside it. To make a playlist you will have to use Zen Media Explorer, or whatever program that supports it like Media Source, or even make them manually on the player itself.

HELP! Can Creative build a Windows Vista driver for my Nomad Zen USB 2.0

Hi there,?I just upgraded my operating system to the Windows Vista 34-bit thinking that I would actually be keeping up with the times but instead found myself leaving behind some old "toys" that no longer work with this computer...help!?Fingers crossed that Creative will come up with a solution to this problem. I love my NOMAD!?Thanks.
~Alex

It's multi-voltage (00-240V), so the voltage is not an issue. All you need is the plug adapter, as you mention.

Zen Micro and Vista - I can't install my Zen! Please he

I have a Zen Micro that I bought back in 2004 and have been running it with no problems whatsoever on my old Windows 2000 machine. I have just bought a new computer with Windows Vista, and I can't get Vista to successfully install the Zen software or recognise my Zen. Every time I attach the unit to my computer I get the "found new hardware" message, and Vista asks me to supply the software that came with the unit. When I insert the CD, the computer scans if for a bit,?then says it can't find the drivers and aborts the installation. Any hints / tips on getting Vista to recognis my Zen Micro?Thanks in advance!

I experienced the same problems in Vista with 2 different Zen Micros on firmware 2.2.02. I tried everything and then when I tried another Vista computer it WORKED right away! This made me sure that it was the Vista computer and nothing else. All that happens is the Vista computer tries to look on Windows Update and doesn't find the drivers so prompts you to insert the install disc. Those not connected to the Internet at the time don't have the problem.
SOLUTION:
When prompted to insert the install disc all you need to do is the following:
Click "Show Other Options"
Choose to look in a folder on the computer
Enter c:\Windows
Wait for it for find the driver, thats IT! This also worked for my external DVD-RW which had the same problem.
Happy Zen'ing!

ZEn Micro and Vista Help Plea

Ok I have searched but anyways so I have a ZEN Micro and I just bought a new laptop that happens to have Vista on it. I know I need to update the firmware on my player to get Vista to recognize it, the thing is that I recently moved across the country and my XP machine is at one end of the US and me and my Vista are at another end so is there anyway for me to do this without needing an XP machine please say yes because I really dont want to buy a new players just because I can load a driver *frustration* any solution?

No, you can't must be Xp & WMP0 only to update firmware. What firmware version is on the player now? You might be able to use it on a Vista but you will only be able to drag & drop to it. No playlists, no syncing. Ask around somone where you are may have a XP computer. Maybe a computer repair shop?

HP LaserjetPro M277dw printer and windows vista driver installation issues

I ust got the hot off the press HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277 which seems to be a miraculous machine. Just one problem. When trying to download and install the printer driver it goes through the whole process and then tells you the driver will not work with this operating system.
Hmmm. It says on the HP website that this is the correct software for this machine. I have been through at least 10 HP support people up to Level 3 support and hours of online work with HP people trying to install the software. The word I get back is that it will not work with my machine. So I am wondering if I have a Windows Vista 64 bit machine, and the software says it is for that machine, but it wont load, what machine will it work with? The last person I worked with just told me I will need to get a new computer. I thought I just bought a printer that would work with my computer, and now I am told i have to buy a new one?
Any ideas on how to get the software to load? I have some functionality, such as wireless network printing that one technician was able to get to work, but no scanning. Another technician changed all the permissions for installing various programming segments to "everyone" but that didnt work either. He had it so messed up that the it would not print anymore wirelessly either. I had to restore to an earlier date after that guy got off my computer so i could at least get some functionality back.
So, without the driver, I cannot scan to this computer, and i really dont know what other good things i am missing out on because I have never experienced the correct configuration......please help if you can. I need to send the machine back within a certain time period, and I really do think it is the solution for my business, if I could get it to work......Thanks!
PS Direct connection to computer and downloading software that way does't work either.....cannot use the printer directly connected.....

Hi,
Is it the following one ? If not, please download then try again:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL60646/kj-145845-1/HP_LaserJet_M277_PCL6_Legacy_Print_Dri...
By the way, what is the model of your Lasejet M277 printer ? Must be M277 something.
Regards.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Stodgy70
I understand you're facing troubles when installing your Envy 5640 on a Windows Vista system.
After researching the error you're receiving, I would suggest creating a new User Account on the computer and ensuring it has Administrator Privileges, and trying the installation again from there.
Here is the direct link for you to download and install the printer on Windows Vista:
