Download for windows vista for zen

hi,?i have a zen mp3 player, i recently got a new computer with windows vista 32 bit program. i want to download the appropriate Creative software so that i can put my music on my mp3 player from my new computer. i do not have the original setup disc that came with my mp3 player. where do i find the link so that i can download the program onto my computer?thanks for your help.

Dear arkie,
Unfortunately Creative likes to supply drivers that deliberatly crimp their hardware so you buy newer ones. It is rather clear that you Zen player is too old to be supported properly by Creative.
You have two choices:
1. Buy the latest Zen player (continuing Creative's dishonest business practice).
2. Use a competitors product.
After years of problems with Creative I would suggest you go with selection number 2.
Kind Regards,
GlassShadow

Windows Vista vs Zen Micro: Software Problems

Hey guys,
Looking for a little help and this seems to be the right place to get, lots of helpful people!I have a 3 year old Zen Micro, 4/5Gb I think and it worked fine with my old Dell laptop which ran XP, I used to drag and drop mpg files easily with the bundled software, all was well. Back in January the Dell laptop reached the end of it's life and I layed my hands on a new Sony Vaio laptop, running the all singing, all dancing brand new shiney Windows Vista. For whatever reason, I had no need for the MP3 player for most of this this summer and now I've come to need it again and it obviously needs updating (all my music is 6 months out of date) and it seems I've lost the original software disc, bummer. So I downloaded the ZenCast Organiser & Sync software off the Creative site as it said it ran withVista and plug in the Micro and .........nothing.
The Sync manager thing just says that there's no player attatched and it won't hook up. Am I missing something? Do I need another driver for it'sor something I've had a look through this site and all. I seem to be able to find is what I've already downloaded. Help!

ow stupid is this though! Why aren't Creative releasing any updates to allow older players to work on new machines?!
Well they are releasing updates, the trouble is you need the old OS to apply them. I suspect there's technical reasons for updates not working on newer OS's. After all Creative couldn't anticipate Vista problems when making older devices (Vista wouldn't have been on hand to test at the time).
BTW Firmware upgrades can be found here (UK version)
or here. (US)

Driver Vista for zen mi

Excused I I am one of that he has installed and bought Seen Windows in order to improve my PC, but unfortunately instead improving are found again to me with my Micro unusable Zen that is x do not succeed to find i driver to make to work it. I would appreciate to more soon being able to use it with I affixed to it driver Seen to you. You contact to me if fairies the driver. Thanks tizy32Scusate io sono uno di quelli che ha installato e comprato Windows Vista per migliorare il mio Pc,ma purtroppo invece di migliorare mi sono ritrovato con il mio Zen Micro inutilizzabile ovvero non riesce a trovare i driver x farlo funzionare.

Shoot. That's bad. So there is really no way of recording music to it. I've heard that IPod's got a new supporter, that enabels voice recording and has 2 jacks in it, for the headphone and the other for mic-in, which probably can also be used as a Line-In.
The reason I am so interested in Line-In is that I have a MD player which can record music from any device, but the problem with it is that since it is not the Net MD version so there is really no way of transmitting audio files from the MD to PC.
Plus I still can not trust in Zen-Micro's built in Mic quality. No matter how high they rate it, the built in mic can never do better than external mic's that can be connected to the recorder separately.

Vista x32, Zen V and V+ driver problems - also posted in Vista sect

?Have tried to install software, when registration asks for device to be connected, i connect. Windows detects as 'Creative Zen V', can't find a driver then lists it as an MTP device, and as a failure to install. The registration tool is no help. I have repeatedly gone to device manager and uninstalled the 'MTP device' and repeatedly reinstalled your software and redone every program I can find with creative. I have searched your knowledge base, no help. I have tried to hard search windows for the driver, and pointed the detection to creative folders, don?t help. After EVERY failed installation, windows media and all creative software does not see the player (i have 2 an 8gig and gig, white and black) but instead an MTP device (with a yellow Exclamation pt in device manager).

I have tried the Microsoft hotfix - won?t install, says not compatible with my system. Have Intel x64 chip, but vistax32, computer came that way. Can't update firmware as player never is correctly recognized.
?
?
Had a Windows XP machine before and eventually I got them to work. Why won't Vista find drivers? Both players work fine and charge, they just won?t synch to my new computer due to no drivers. My old XP machine went belly up (hardware issue) so that is no longer an option.
?
Repeatedly emailed Creative tech - NO HELP. Responses look like they NEVER read my thorough explanation and send me different form letters.
?
Frustrating, uninstalled and reinstalled probably 50 - 00 times.

Please help.

Would somebody help?
Many previous posts say to update firmware, can't as I no longer have an XP machine, besides I know I bought the 8gig well after VISTA was out, I think December 2007. No excuse for not having correct firmware.

Vista problem (Zen V Plus 8

Just bought a brand new Zen V Plus 8gb... stick the CD in my pc... install software... restart computer... plug in Zen.
Windows Vista is having none of it. Cannot locate drivers, cannot install hardware, cannot find solution both off and online and simply cannot find the player. Windows media player cannot locate it, nor can the Creative software or Windows explorer
Device manager lists the device but cannot find any drivers for it.
Downloaded and installed all the software listed under support for Vista and my model.
Surely there is something not right.
Booted up my old pc with XP on it... installed CD, plugged in Zen and it worked fine. Creative cant be that in the past... is the Zen V Plus out of date already? If so let me know so I can get my money back asap!
If someone has managed to fix this problem then please let me know... frankly Creative's knowledge base message of duel boot both XP and Vista is rubbish in my opinion.

Hey. I was having the exact same issue with USB flash dri'ves. Windows Vista was just not taking any!I read somewhere a suggestion from someone on a forum suggesting to uninstall all USB controller devices in Device Manager and then "scan for hardware changes" to make them reinstall. Of course after trying this Windows Vista was not taking ANY sort of drivers for them again and I lost all USB functionality, requiring a good format, lol.. Straight after getting back to the desktop from Windows Vista's installation, I plugged in my USB flash dri've and it was recognized!It would seem that perhaps driver conflicts with other devices I installed (namely USB devices) was causing Windows Vista to not accept any more USB devices. This time after formating I was therefore very paranoid with what drivers I was using for USB devices like my webcam and Bluetooth dongle. I managed to get proper Windows Vista Bluetooth drivers this time round and managed to install the Bluetooth dongle fine and my USB flash dri've was still being recognized after. Moral of the story...be very careful with what drivers you use for your USB devices. Namely if they're fully Windows Vista compatible, stamped as such by the manufacturer of the drivers and the device in question. Perhaps this is a Windows Vista bug because why should Windows Vista incompatible drivers for my webcam say, eliminate my ability to use further USB devices that have nothing to do with my webcam?Tell you what I didn't try...unplugging all USB devices prior to plugging in my USB flash dri've. Have you tried that for your MP3 player?
I don't know if any of the above will help terribly, but at least I hope it gives you ideas. Just as a note, I plugged in my Zen V Plus (2GB) straight after booting up (without installing any software or drivers first) and it detected it properly, allowing me to transfer files. Later I installed all the software from the CD it came with, just to have the video converter and that. It's working fine!Message Edited by kayronjm on 04-24-2007:0 PM

Window Vista- Creative Zen-V Download Nee

Does anyone know what the download is so that window vista will accept the disc taht comes with creative zen-v? I cannot download it until I get the that so that I can put music on my mp3 player? Please can some help??

The disk that came with the Zen V is not vista compatible.
Vista should be able to recognize the Zen V as a MTP device inside windows as Vista comes with the necessary drivers to recognize the Zen V. All the downloads for the Zen V for vista are under Support->downloads on the creative website.
(media explorer, mediasource, etc)

Regarding your more immediate problem, having a better idea of what you're trying to use is required before we can give you meaningful advice.
First of all, what is on the discs you are trying to use? If they are commercial discs, they must have a label of some kind that indicates what are are.
Then, when your insert a disc in your MacBook Pro's optical drive, what happens? Do you see a disc icon appear on your Desktop?

Installed CS3 with windows vista bit AE won't open.

When my old faithful computer motherboard fried, I had to get a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium.
I had CS3 loaded and working without a glich on my old XP computer.
I've loaded the whole CS3 suite, but when I open After Effects nothing happens. Using Window's Task Manager, under "Applications" After Effects doesn't show up as a running but under "Processes" the file "AfterFX.exe *32" is listed as running.
I've also tried uninstalling CS3 and reinstalling it in the directory "Program Files" rather than in the directory "Program Files (x86)" and nothing changed.
I've tried to opening all the other programs in CS3 with the similar results. Nothing opens, but their .exe files are listed under Task Managers "Processes".
I'm using this as a vol lic product, so I'm not sure how much tech support I can get.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

I'm sorry it didn't work. I probably don't have an answer for you since I'm not an expert or anything.
One thing I thought was weird was that the software version on my computer for the motherboard was version 6.xx (whatever) and the software I downloaded from the HP web was version 5.xx (whatever). It made it work though..
I think the update would be on the HP site, not the MSI site. Go to hp.com, downloads, and put in the name of your computer. Download/install whatever motherboard software they have. If that doesn't work, go to the adobe website and search for the document kb402213 and work through that. It's what the person you give Adobe $40 to help you is going to do.
Good luck. Hopefully this helps.

Vista and Zen X

I am trying to get my to talk. I have two issues:
One, my XP machine has service pack 3, is this ok, the instructions may simply have been written before this service pack was released, I don't know.
Two, please confirm this will erase all the musical content on my player, the problem is I can't back it up on my XP machine, there is only 5 GB of free drive space.
Thanks for the help!

Well you can do one of 2 things. The first would require updating the firmware however that MUST be done on the Xp machine & it CAN NOT HAVE WMP or any remnants of WMP(ie WMP runtime which was part of a windows update) OR You can install the driver(version2.0.00) using the compatabilty mode for XpSP2 on the Vista computer & the Creative Nomad Explorer3.0.0 version go here & change the O.S. to Xp click submit it's the last application on the page the driver is the first item on the page http://support.creative.com/Products...me=MP3+PlayersVISTA ONLY!
1. Download the XP driver software from the Creative site ( Driver version 2.0.00 http://support.creative.com/download...ownloadId=0020)
2. Save it to desktop.
3. Right click, properties.
4. Go to Compatibility tab.
5. Check the box and run as compatible for XP SP2.
6. Run the program. It SHOULD run as Administrator, if not right click, run as Admin
7. Complete the prompts. The installer may take a while, but if it gets to 65% (and past the driver install dialog), then your drivers will have installed. If it hangs (mine did), end the task from the task manager.

Zen Vision M and Vi

When I was using my Zen Vision M with Windows XP, I can add album artworks through Zen Media Explore by setting the view to "Album View". But now I am on Vista, the Zen Media Explore doesn't have the "Album View" option anyway so I can't add album artworks. Anyway has any ideas?

Yeah I know WMP works, but it doesn't always find the right artwork and track information. I manually tagged all of my music under iTunes and added the album arkworks myself. I just don't understand why they took the function away in Zen Media Explore for Vista.

Windows Vista - Cannot Uninstall

I cannot uninstall 7.6 from my 64 Bit Windows Vista computer. I can not upgrade either. What could be the problem?

I am running Vista 64 bit. I installed the 64 bit vista version of iTunes...when the installation was finished, it said something along the lines of "iTunes was installed, but encounterred errors. iTunes might not work properly." (Not the exact message, but it was something like that). Now when I open iTunes, I get a message saying exactly "WARNING! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for imp and bruning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes".
Now, this message is different from the one I use to get. I follow the guide on iTunes support, the one going into the registry and modifying one to change something with a CD burner...it didn't fix it so I just restored the original state of the registry. I'm not worried about burning CDs, but my iTunes also doesn't support iPhone or iPod Touch (I have both). When I plug it in, it says that the mobile driver is missing please reinstall iTunes.
NOW FOR THE REAL PROBLEM:
I go to my Uninstall or Change a Program. I click uninstall iTunes. Preparing to remove...Gathering require information...Won't do anything after that. So then I go to apple's website and download the latest 64 vista bit version. I run the installer. Click next. I aaccept. Install it in it's same directory...the one that it is currently installed in. It then starts installing. Updating...copying new files..then. ROLLING BACK ACTION?
Now for the big thing:
"iTunes Installer Completed
The installer ecountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit the installer.
Can't get it to uninstall. Can't get it to install. Please help!
