Windows Media Player 11 Locks Up Zen Vision:M - Possible

This may be of help to someone out there. My Problem:After installing WMP I could not browse my ZVM through Windows Explorer, Sync via WMP or Sync via Creative Sync. Basically everything was screwed up. My Fix:. Backup your entire collection of media (you may need another non-WMP machine to do this)?2. Update the player to the latest firmware, I used .6.0?(you may need another non-WMP machine to do this)?3. Boot the ZVM into Recovery Mode - Do not connect to the PC- "Format (All)" this will obviously delete all your files- "Clean Up"- "Reboot"?4. Reload default settings on ZVM?5. Now connect the player to your WMP machine, everything should be sweet! - No lockups!?6. Sync your media back on to the ZVM via WMP?My Theory:I have not formatted my ZVM since I bought it. I suspect that the older directory and file structure is incompatiable with what WMP expects from a MTP device or it may of got screwed up by me some how. The default folder/file structure on?a freshly formatted ZVM running FW.6.0 seems to be compatible with WMP. Hope this helps some of you guys out there, it worked for me.

Any chance of posting or PM'ing me your wmsetup.log file? So far I've seen one and that was a total install failure, so isn't the same problem you had.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra stops working with XP following Windows Media Player 11 Beta Installat

Yesterday I was very pleased to find that my Creative Zen Xtra (model DAP-HD00) portable media player is a PlaysForSure capable device. Creative Labs, on November 9, 2005, released the Creative Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware v2.0.03. I installed this firmware (I had to install the Creative ZenJukebox Driver v.30.03 first to get Windows to recognize the device). Once the firmware was upgraded, Windows began recognizing the Zen Xtra as a MTP device and life was good. I was able to synchronize it with both Napster To Go and Windows Media Player 0.
After this, I went ahead and installed Windows Media Player Beta, which I just downloaded yesterday as well.
From a functional standpoint, WMP seems to run just fine. However, when I connected the Creative Zen Xtra (with its PlaysForSure firmware), Windows redetected the hardware. It first showed "Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra" in the tooltip, followed by "MTP Device" in the new hardware tooltip. Finally, Windows announced that there was a problem installing my new hardware and that it may not work properly.
Sure enough, when I went into Device Manager, my Zen Xtra was showing as an MTP Device with an exclamation point on it. More specifically, it specified the status of, "This device cannot start (Code 0)."
Prior to the installation of Windows Media Player, the Creative Zen Xtra showed in device manager with the following characteristics under the heading "Windows Portable Devices":
Name: NOMAD Jukebox Zen XtraDriver Version: 5.2.0.0 dated 8/30/2004Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.3802.3802 built by dnsrv(bld4act)
Windows Media Player changed this to the following (the device now shows up under "Portable Devices"):
Name: MTP DeviceDriver Version: 5.2.5326.4762 dated 2/22/2006Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.5358.4827 (WMP_.060509-2009)C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\wudfrd.sys - v6.0.5348.0(winmain(wmbla).0604-339)
The file wudfrd.sys is NOT digitally signed in this case.
As of now, my Zen Xtra is completely unusable on this system, and I need to sync it with my laptop for the time being, which still has WMP 0 installed on it.
Is this a bug with WMP beta? Is it a problem with my firmware? Since this is PlaysForSure compliant firmware, and it worked flawlessly with Napster and WMP 0 (before the MTP driver was updated), it would seem to be a WMP beta issue. I'd like to hear more official confirmation on the subject, however.
Some general details about my system are:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2Verified GENUINE Microsoft operating system using Genuine Advantage ValidationIntel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 GHz, Hyper-Threaded processor2.00 GB RAM
Windows Media Player Version: .0.5358.4827Napster Version: 3.6.0.7 (US)
Any recommendations? Fixes? Some have suggested rolling back the WMP installation, but I would like to consider this option only as an absolute last resort.
Best regards,Matt

Ok, this worked out accidentally - but happily
I first installed the driver - not the media source - but the driver for the device.
After that the windows device manager yellow sign disappeared - apparently the device driver was registered by windows.
Then I Installed Mediasource 5 - the installation went thru fine.
Does anyone have any recommended updates to install, please also advise what benefits.
Thanks.

How do I uninstall Windows Media Player 11 (from Windows XP)

I tried to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 using the 2 methods in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934372/en-us
The 1st method rolled back Windows Media Player 11 , but I want to uninstall it.
The 2nd method gave me the following pop-window:
Run
C:\WINDOWS\$ntUninstallwmp11$\spuninst refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network,
and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.
I am surprised that Microsoft supplies a product that one cannot uninstall.
I would very much like to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 -
If that is not possible, I could re-install it.
Thanks for any helo.
OK

Is this a CM07 question?
Does the directory/ file exist?

Well I figured it out. Turns out if you go to Sync(little down arrow)>DEVICE_NAME>Advanced Options>Quality if you leave it on automatic it will transfer wav files, but if you change it (I did without knowing) then the highest quality you're going to get is 92 WMA.

Windows Media Player 11 - Zen Vision:M Not Recognized Anym

I've installed WMP, which is told to be especially very well with Vision:M, and nothing recognizes my Vision:M now.
It's shown up as a Portable Device (with a new icon), with it's Name "Creative Zen Vision:M", I connect, it asks me what to do. Windows Media Player, Vision:M Explorer or firmware updater I've just downloaded doesn't see the player connected. Each time I connect, it appears to be something different on My Computer. Sometimes the device's name with ZVM icon, sometimes Zen Vision:M with portable icon. And it even thought it's a camera or scanner and put it there!
What's going on?

Any chance of posting or PM'ing me your wmsetup.log file? So far I've seen one and that was a total install failure, so isn't the same problem you had.

Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource with Vision

I just spent a few hours introducing myself to MediaSource. Then I realized I was not getting album art or anything, and read about how WMA files often sound better with smaller file sizes. I cannot decide which media organizer/player?to use, and am hoping for insight from anyone. I really don't want to waste time with one or the other, only to regret it later.

Creative's software is horrendous. It is overly complicated, unintuiti've, and many functions simply do not work. I haven't played with Windows Media Player 0, but I really can't see how it could possibly be worse (or even as bad!) as the Creative offering! Creative really needs to fix the bugs in MediaSource and MediaOrganizer, so that the software is useable on the Vision:M. Maybe if enough people complain about it, they'll start fixing issues! Or, an even better idea, would be for a third party to write a killer app for the Vision:M and cut Creative out of the loop entirely. Creative may be able to manufacture good players, but they can't write software!

Problems with songs i downloaded with windows media player!!!!(zen tou

If I try to play songs i downloaded with windows media player My zen touch(20Gb) freezes and won't shut down:angry:. I have downloaded the latest firmware so that can't be the cause of the problem.
Can someone tell me what I can do about that.
btw I don't have problems with songs downloaded with creative's media source

If you mean you subscribed to iTunes Match, you have to import your music into your iTuens library in order to add it to iTunes Match. iTunes Match (and iCloud) only works with iOS devices and computers. It won't work with your iPod Classic; you'll have to sync that with iTunes in order to add your music.

Problems using windows media player to transfer files to zen x

I cant get my 9gs of music into the zen without content mess u
ps.
thanks matt

I, for one, am incredibly dissapointed in the portable file aspect of this player. i work in a PC store and we sell the Zen Touch , i also received one for christmas. At first i was very happy that i could also use it to carry my files to and from school but all my hopes were extinguished when i realized that the computers i would transfering to and from had to have the creative software installed. Obviously, Creative's target consumers are of the Student generation, so they must have known that we, as students , use computer labs in school. So why not add the firmware to override the creative software when transfering data files? What's written on the box and the sales pitch creative uses is extreamly misguided and alot of the buyers have come back to the store with complaints. They arn't happy, i'm not happy, creative should fix this porblem, and yes it is a problem and not "part of the design".

Windows Media Player 11 not recognizing files on Creative Zen X-Fi?

I recently made an attempt to synchronize the files on my Creative Zen X-Fi to my Windows Media Player library to transfer them to my other MP3 player, however I receive this message when I attempt to view the files and sync them: "There are no files on this device. To begin, sync files to the device." The files are definitely existent as I can listen to and view them on the device and WMP has recognized there is only 8 MB of space remaining. Could you help me resolve this problem? Thank you

Hi,
Can you please try transfering these songs using Windows Explorer to see if it goes through?

Creative Zen V Plus won't sync with Windows Media Player 11?

My Zen V Plus won't synchronize with Windows Media Player . I plug it into the USB, then an error message pops up in WMP that says "WMP has encountered a problem and needs to close" but if I just move the window aside WMP works fine. I then click 'sync" and it says "preparing to sync" but doesnt move beyond that. I have synced with WMP before, this problem has recently started occurring. I have all the firmware updates on my player, I don't know what is causing this problem.

Zen V Plus sync of playlists from Windows Media Player

I am using automatic sync on windows media player 0 to my Zen V plus. The music is transferring, but I do not see the playlists being shown on the Zen player. Any ideas how to get them to sync as well so I don't have to build them on the player?

After trying things out for a while, I found that when you sync using Windows Media Player, the playlists selected will be on the Zen V plus screen for you to select. It will not display on the folders that list on the Windows Media Player display. I don't know why, but the important thing is that the playlists do end up on the Zen V plus so that you can select and play them.

Firmware 2.11.01 unbelievably slow using Mediasource & Windows Media Player (Zen Tou

I have just updated my firmware to version 2..0. and creative mediasource to the latest with the playsforsure plugin, and now it takes ten minutes for mediasource or windows media player to show what tracks I have on my creative zen. This is a lot slower than before as it usually did this instantly. I have 8936MB left of memory left on my Zen Touch and I have 3230 tracks. Can someone please suggest how I solve this problem and how to speed the two programs up.

I think the error showing on Microsoft WMP/Beta 2 means that you need to install the newest Creative PlaysforSure firmware update on the Xtra, for it to work correctly.
I won't update to the PlaysforSure, as I use my Xtra to store audiobooks from NetLibrary and Overdri've. Without PlaysforSure, the audiobooks don't expire. I can read them at my leisure.
The Real Player works great with the Xtra without the PlaysforSure firmware. (www.real.com for a free Real player)
