URGENT: Any drivers for Creative Zen

Hey, somebody.
I've written to the support but it takes so long time so I hope someone here will answer sooner.
I bought a new Zen V and installed all the **bleep** on the CD, after that the manual says that I sholud connect my mp3 and load it, then start to use it. My problem here is that my computer doesn't find the mp3player. The usb device can't find any drivers at all in windows, i've also tried the CD to find any drivers. Not a **bleep** there either.
Please help me, where can I find driver to make the computer find the player. I really need to use my mp3, I have tinnitus and music is my only cure.
Thankful for ANYthing!

joSSan: Please refrain from using profanities on this forum, as this is a public forum we try to keep clean.
As to your problem, the drivers for the Zen V are actually built into Windows XP Service Pack & 2, so they are not on the CD. If Windows is telling you it can't find the driver, the first thing you need to check is your Service Pack.

Try going through the KnowledgeBase article above, especially the "For Windows XP Users" section, as it applies to your case. One other thing you may want to try is a different USB port, preferably one on the BACK of the computer. Those ports tend to have less issues with mp3 players.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

Can't install drivers for Creative Zen 'Data Inval

I have just bought a 8gb Creative Zen but everytime I try to install it I keep getting the message "There is a problem with this hardware (Creative Zen) An error occurred during the installation of the device, The data is invalid" and when I go into device manager and click on the properties in there for the Zen (Which has a yellow iconon it) it says
"This device is not configured correctly. (Code )".
I looked up this error on the Microsoft Technet website and it says [size="">"by clicking Update Driver, which starts the Hardware Update wizard. If updating the driver does not work, see your hardware documentation for more information." I have tried to update the driver but it won't update either.
I'm running Windows XP with Service pack 2
Any help is appreciated as i'm getting extremely frustrated.
Jim

Re-installing XP might not, and probably won't do it. The re-install will keep most if not all of your Windows settings and installed files. It may repair or install files that are corrupted or missing, but that's about all.
What happens when you delete the entry from Device Manager and then reconnect the player? If it still installs with a conflict, you'll probably have to track down the application or device that is causing the conflict. Also that inevitable question ... do you have Windows Media Player installed? There have been some instances where Creative players have not paired with the driver correctly with WMP, but work fine with WMP0.
You might also want to take a look at this thread at Epizenter
http://www.epizenter.net/e07_plugins...ic.php?95267.5
they have some hard-core Creative fans over there and the discussion is usually a bit more in-depth regarding technical issues.

I updated my Firmware as stated by Creative Labs support team. I downloaded on my son's PC which has Window's XP Pro edition. Again, on his PC there is no problem with recognition of the device and/or player. However, when I plug my player into my PC which has Vista, the device manager has a "!" next to ZEN Micro Photo. So my PC "See's" the player. However, when you right click and then go to "Properties" it states that "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" Then it states to "reinstall the drivers" But when I tried to install or reinstall the "Driver" using the install wizard, I get an error message... "An error occurred during the installation of the device" and " A service installation section in this INF is invalid" Then a pop bubble appears and says "Found new hardware" You may have a problem with your device. It may not be working properly" So what do I do at this point. The only way for me currently to download music is to use my son's PC. At least I have another option... I feel sorry for the rest of you. When will creative wake up and smell the Vista!!

Where I can find free drivers for Creative Zen Vision

I've lost my Creative Zen Vision:M drivers, so I can't share with my friends my music, videos and photos. Do you know where I can find these free drivers for Zen Vision:M?

I've downloaded Creative ZEN Vision:M 30 GB Firmware .62.02e and it says to me "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". I've connected my Creative Zen Vision:M with PC and it always says to me "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". What I must do now Thanks.

Are there any cases for creative zen visio

because i'v looked everywhere and alls i could find was the pouch that comes with it and the leather pouch that i found on this creative web site. got any suggestions

I'm glad to see Creative have a case at least, but I've not heard of any others. I'm sure given time, and if the player proves popular, other cases will appear. It's worth emailing case manufacturers such as Vaja (if you are rich!) to register interest, as this often spurs them to produce one.

Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

Drivers for creative ze

Hello everyone,
How can i download drivers and software for my Zen v or which recommendable sites do you use if you want to download these.

When you are at Creative's website, click on 'Support' followed by 'Technical Support'. After that, click on 'Download' and in the Product category, select 'MP3 Players', 'Zen' and 'Zen V' then click 'Next'. Then on that screen, select the language, operating system and click 'Go'. You will then be presented with all the current files for that OS for Creative Zen V.

Drivers for Creative Webcam Notebook ACVB1170

Hi!
After searching in the support page and forums i simply can't find "any" drivers for this little webcam, because i've lost my installation cd. I'm currently using XP and OSX. I would greatly appreciate if anyone posted a link to the drivers.
Thanks!

Windows XP doesn't support Parallel Port webcams, so I do not believe it is even possible to make such a driver. That webcam was also made back in 994-95...
Sorry.

You can download drivers and applications for the player on this site, just click on Support -> Downloads.
You need to download a driver (install this first), the full MediaSource Player/Organizer application and then the MediaSource plug-in.

Desperate: Driver for Creative Zen 2

I got my creative zen (model id=dap-hd004) from friends, it so cool. But i have problem conecting it to my computer, the version is .00.06. My friend told me the the version is too old and needed to be updated. But how?
I even could not conect it to my computer, because i got it without any software included. Just the player, data cable and the charger.
Wish some one could tell how to get the driver to upload songs and update the firmware version.
I found some drivers but the version was not the same with my player, and it always says that i must conect the player to my conected player. Help me please.......

Are you referring to the model Zen 20 Gb where the surface look like a big size Zen Micro? If it is, I think there are no firmware upgrade for this model. Even if you go creative website, the instruction on the page say the download firmware is the same version as the one that come pre-loaded in the player when you first open up the box.
Not all models have firmware upgrades. So for this model I guess it is pretty stable so there are no upgrade? Or there are not enuff customers using this model? :smileytongue:

if i have forgot any player let me know

I bought a USB external Surround 5. last week which had a Creative Labs sticker on it saying "Vista Ready - go to www.creative.com to download drivers". Yet having done so I discover that most of the features on the box do not work.
I want it for 5. sound and soundfonts - but both these are missing. If these are not going to be supported (and soon!) please can Creative confirm this. Then I will take it back to the shop (PCWorld UK) and advise them that is DOES NOT DO what it says on the box. I will tell them that they should peel the stickers off - because it is clearly not true that it is Vista ready!Message Edited by markburleigh on 04-27-200704:38 PM

Windows 98 drivers for Creative Ensonique Audio

Hello
I've got a Creative Ensonique Audio PCI (CT480).
The problem is, that I haven't got any drivers disk, so that I've had a look at the creative website.
At the download area I've found a driver, called "Standalone driver for Creative ENSONIQ AudioPCI on Windows 95/98" (file name:epw9xup.exe").
When I now start the setup under windows 98 (first edition), then the setup successfully ends up it's task and asks me, to restart my computer. After that, nothing happens. The questionmark under the hardware control centre (for an unnkown multimedia device) is still available.
What can I do now ?
Is that a true stand allone driver or just a update ?

patrick-online,
That driver is meant for the ES37 card. If you have a CT480 soundcard, you could try using this driver.
