Trouble with Zen VPlus softw

I have a Zen VPlus. I just installed the programs on the installation CD to my laptop, but now I keep getting a "friendly reminder" to register my player. Which I have already done. This reminder will not go away, not even if I hit the (X) button in the upper right corner of the window. I also cannot uninstall the Creative Resistration part of the programming, which would have been the first way I would have tried to fix it.
Anyone have any advice?

  • Trouble with ZEN MX

    Trouble with ZEN MXWHi,
    I have some issues with my zen mx,? primarily sometimes when I listen to a playlist containing many tracks or "all tracks", my player sometimes shuts of and then have to scan the disk pefore working.
    Secondly there are small pauses during playback, maybe every third track or more, I'm only talking about something like a thenth of a second but it's still very annoying. This also occurs when I have many tracks in my playlist.
    Thirdly I'm not able to access the recovery mode, I've tried following the instructions from the sticky-thread in the forums (Turn on player and hold in the reset butto). However when I do, the screen goes black and no recovery mode appears ever if I hold down the button for a long time.
    Anyone knows how th fix theses issues?
    thanks,

  • Trouble with Zen Microph

    I'm having trouble installing the Zen Microphoto drivers on my computer, i have searched the net and it seems like a commmon problem. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it.

    When you plug the ZMP in the computer, as any removable dri've it tries to install its drivers on the computer so the computer can recognize it. But my ZMP doesnt load the driver.
    The ZMP isn't just a removable dri've though, and it's important to know whether it has the PDE (v) or MTP (v2) firmware. Makes a big difference how it's treated and in terms of what drivers it installs. That's why I asked for the firmware version before.
    Assuming the ZMP even has a PDE firmware...
    I have not updated the firmware either.
    Yep, I'm not sure what it ships with and it might vary by country.

  • Lots of trouble with Zen Sleek, please he

    Had to replace my Zen Touch today (finally gave up the ghost) and swapped it for a Zen Sleek. My head is battered with the amount of trouble I have had with this today, problems being......
    *CD won't load, starts and then just gives up
    *USB being connected to computer, Zen Sleek thinks it is charging
    *Tried a few suggestions from the Zen Sleek topics and getting nowhere, have tried to download a driver but it won't let me.
    I am really really at the end of my tether with this and I can see this Zen sleek being thrown at somebody very soon, please help me, any advice would be really really helpful

    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

    Good luck friend. Oh and the wallplug charger is a good investment. accessorygeeks on the web carries or did carry an assortment of things for the M series; cases screencovers garanteed third party chargers and usb cables

  • Troubles with Zen Touch Firmware v2.11

    I had my zen working fine with the previous firmware, and was not sure about upgrading due to the warning that it was irreversable. After much debating, i did upgrade. I my horror my zen is now rubbish!
    !!! Bugs:?My zen now complains about trying to play loads of files it used to be able to play?Windows media player crashes after converting about 8 songs (ok thats not creative)?pressing "random" shoud que all tracks and play randomly... oh no! it misses out about 545 tracks
    !!! over all, i think that creative should in some way make it so that i can down grade... this is stupid?also, i was using the EQ on the previous firmware fine, and this "fix" seems to only make more problems?Has anyone else had these problems, or is it just me... :smileyindifferent:?At the moment i am missing around 800 songs from my library, just because of media player. ok, i could turn off the converting function.. .but then they dont play on my zen?:smileyindifferent:?please do something about this creative, and soon...Message Edited by russnex on 03-20-200606:40 AM

    I am about three hundred songs short when i press the random button
    I can play all tracks in my music library but the dont all appear when i press random
    My player also frequently crashes and has to rebuild library
    and just last night when i was looking at my tracks using media organizer i noticed the file names of lots of tracks had changed to other tracks i have on my player.not the track names, just the file names.why is this?
    also,does creative intend for media organizer to revert back to how it was?
    i.e. being able to view all your tracks in one window instead of folders?
    beings able to list all your tracks in alphbetical order or in order of album name,or in order of genre,or in order of length etc etc etc
    Creative messed up how my player works with Media Organizer big time!

  • Troubles with Zen: Micro Ph

    Hi all,
    I've a deep issue with my mp3 (Zen Micro Photo 8Gb): When I switch on it, I only can access to the recovery mod!
    Moreover, even thought I tried to use the tools to repair it (like scan disk or Format all)it did'nt matter. This problem occured after I put off the battery of the mp3 because it did'nt switch off properly...
    I've really no idea about the best way to repair it.
    Kind Regards.
    Sukhoi

    Same problem here. Tech support told me its going to cost me another $88 for another warrenty or something like that. Then they wanted to charge me more money for the tech support because my warrently is up. I've already paid $300 for the device. I'm not about to pay another $200 for?am extended?warrenty, money for support for something that they dont sound like they know how to fix... THEN have to pay for repairs on top of this. I think its really unfair that they have to charge so much for something thats happening to every single person who's bought this player! Sounds like they're defecti've!Message Edited by marianastrench on 0-3-200808:4 PM

    I just got a new Zen Neeon last Thursday. I put a few cds on it last night, and it seemed to be working fine, but when I attempted to turn it on this morning, I got a message that says "File system error" and my player immediately turned off.

  • Trouble with Zen Mi

    Hello,
    I purchased a Zen Micro 5gb and opened the box yesterday. The sound is only coming out of one earphone, occasionally it will come out of both but only for a few seconds at a time, then it goes back to just playing in one of the earphones. What do I need to do to fix this?

    Bufordfamily-
    Where did you buy your Zen Micro from? I'm curious because I have mine coming today and I'm beginning to get nervous about this phone jack issue.
    Thanks.

  • Trouble with Zen Micro.. wondering if there is any way to

    Hi, I've had my Zen Micro for about 8 months now and over time and use it seems that the ear phone jack has come loose, I was wondering if there is any way to fix this or tighten it up?

    Contact Creative Customer Support thru Support > Contact Customer Support on this site (the exact URL varies by country). This is considered a warranty repair, so it doesn't matter where you bought it as long as it's a legitimate seller (and yes, Wal-Mart qualifies).
    Since it has been more than 3 months but less than a year, you may owe a labor charge for warranty repairs (currently $25 in the US). That doesn't apply in some countries, including most of Europe.

  • Troubles with Zen Xtra 4

    I just bought a 40 gig Zen Xtra and when booting it freezes at the EAX title screen...
    when i boot it into the recorvery mode everything seems to be fin...but nope, i am unable to successfully complete any of the option listed except reboot...clean up, format, and replace OS, all bring up their window but just sit there forever saying 'formatting...', or 'erasing OS...'
    any help here would be great!
    It says rescue mode v.3, boot v.2, and Hw v0.0.

    As per the FAQ post if rescue mode functions don't work the player is faulty. You need to contact support.

  • Troubles with Zen Mi

    Heres my problem guys--I've had my Zen Micro for almost 8 months and has worked pretty good up until about last month. I went to trun it on one day after I had charged it and it froze at the screen where the Creative logo comes up doesnt let me do anything, I've tried taking the battery out and putting it back in but it just does the same thing. I've even tried holding the on switch in the On position and inserting the battery so that the little sub menue that lets you format and other stuff comes up, and tried to format the player but all it seems to do is freeze up on me again.
    If anybody has any ideas or know what to do it would be much appreciated before I have to resort to sending in to get fixed.
    Thanks for your time guys.
    Jim

    It is either a hardware or a software problem. The latter you may be able to fix yourself; if it's the hardware, you'll have to send it in.
    I would recommend installing the firmware again and seeing if the problems are gone then. The recovery mode menu items may also have helped, but since you say they do not react either, this is not an option. As to how to install the firmware: use the FAQ sticky at the topof the forum.
    Also, listen for unusual noises (that were not audible before) your player makes. My player had a similar problem, and it was clearly the HD, which was also audible to produce some very weird sounds.
    Cheers,

  • Trouble with Zen Touch Butt

    All of the sudden, my backwards and forwards buttons don't work, and I have to press hard on the OK button for it to work. Is this the death of my player, or is there an actual solution? Thanks in advance

  • Trouble with Creative Zen

    Hi
    I've been checking the topics for a problem similar to mine but haven't found any. I've had my creative zen for about 3 years now and have loved it. However, in the past few months I've been having trouble with it. While playing a song (either while laying stable in my car, or on my arm while working out), the player will just randomly die. I try to turn it back on, and have no luck. I then reset it by using the back of my earing, and somtimes it will start back up, and other times it won't. If it doesn't start back up right away, I'm able to plug it in to charge, and it will usually let me turn it back on after charging for a few minutes. I notice that its never on empty, and there seems to be at least half a battery level left. Some days the player will die randomly several times, or other times it will go days before I have a problem with it. I have tried to reboot it, and clear off the entire player, upgrade the firm-ware, and still have the same issue. Any ideas? Is it toast?
    Thanks!

    Is the player recognised in the Device Manager, do you see it listed there (perhaps as an unknown device, or with an exclamation mark)?
    Check out this knowledgebase article for some useful tips if the player isn't recognised, it'll take you through them step-by-step:

  • Im having trouble with my zen microph

    <FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#336600 size=4>Im having trouble with my new Zen Microphoto. I turned it on a couple days ago and it froze at the startup screen, and it just says creative on the screen, and you can't do anything about it. I read the faqs and product help stuff that told me to go to recovery mode and select something like clean files. I did that and it says "Scan Disk...". Ive been waiting for like 8 hours, and i need help. I have like 800 songs, so im wondering if that's the reason it is taking so long. Well if you can help me i would greatly appreciate it.

    I didn't have this issue with my new ZMP but if you are using it for the very first time and this happens, bring it back to the store and get a replacement. Test it out directly at the store to avoid anymore troublesome issues.

  • Zen VPlus recognized by Vista, but not by windows media pla

    Hello,
    my zen VPlus is recognized by vista (in device manager it is in "Portable Devices") , I can also find it in Windows Explorer.
    However, it doesn't show up in windows media player in the sync section; if I deconnect the zen and I reconnect it back, I can see the message "detected my zen" on the lower side of wmpl but I still get the picture "connect to a device" above.
    Any idea ? The last firmware has been installed and I can directly copy files with Windows Explorer.

    You need to install iTunes in order to install the necessary drivers.
