Windows Vista won't support my M

Sorry - me again. I have a Creative Zen 20mg and Windows Vista won't load the CD. I then looked for various download options online and have been told that they won't work with Vista and Creative have no plans to change this. I need to upload my music to the PC! Is there any way that I can sort this some other way? I've seen from the other threads that there aren't drivers available. ?Many thanks.Message Edited by Ellymoo on 03-02-20080:57 AM

There are several components you would need to install for access to the player. ALL must be installed in Compatabilty mode for XP. In addition to the one you listed The Creative Nomad Jukebox plug-in is one of the components that needs to be installed if you have not. The version number is 2.00.20. http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=9320 The other component after that one is the Creative Nomad Explorer version 3.0.0http://support.creative.com/download...ownloadId=8069

  • Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

    My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC  with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

    If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
    Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

  • Lightroom6 instalation rejects installation on Windows 7 with remark that windows vista is not supported

    I tried to install Lightroom 6 on my Windows 7 System
    The installer jejects the Installation with the remark that Windows Vista is not supported by this product
    Is that Problem known? Is any solution available?

    Hi Michael,
    You can follow the article: How to troubleshoot issues that may prevent a program from being installed correctly on a Windows Vista-based computer and check whether the installer is running in Compatible Mode or not.
    If the check box for Compatibility Mode is checked and simply UnCheck it and click Apply.
    Run the installer and again and check if it still gives you any error message.
    Let us know if it works or not.
    Thanks,

  • Windows (Vista) Calendar not supported for sync to iPhone?

    I am using Windows Vista Ultimate x64 and I have an iPhone 3g S 32GB and in iTunes with my iPhone selected and I am under the Info tab it will show and allow syncing contacts to Windows Contacts but the calendar section says no supported calendar can be found.
    Why will it sync to windows contacts but not windows calendar? Pretty stupid if you ask me. I do not plan to go out and spend $150 on Outlook 2007 or $100 a year for MobileMe just for this feature. This is just absolutely stupid that iTunes won't recognize Windows Calendar but it will recognize Windows Contacts, Windows Mail, and even syncing bookmarks from Internet Explorer.
    If it is supposed to recognize the calendar, maybe Apple broke something in iTunes 8.2? I tried an uninstall of iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support that was suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 I followed all the information there it still doesn't let me sync with Windows Calendar.

    Unfortunately, you are out of luck. MobileMe can only sync calendars to Outlook. Maybe a future update will allow syncing to Windows Calendar but for now, there is no direct method of syncing.

  • Windows Vista won't install Ipod

    Latest version of Itunes 7.4.2 has been installed, unfortunately Windows Vista has located Ipod mini in "other devices" in "Device Manager", but it won't install the Ipod. I've reinstalled Iteune three times and searched the Windows Vista disk, but with no luck.
    I'm on the verge of selling the ipod - any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks

    I suggest either getting a Mac or going back to Windows XP because Vista is known to have these problems.

  • Windows vista no longer supported?

    when i try download a trial version of photoshop it says my system is no longer supported i run  a windows vista 32 bit. is there no way around this? do i have to get a new computer to be able to use nphotoshop or upgrade my system?

    GCordeaux Photoshop CC does not support Windows Vista.  You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Photoshop.  You may want to look at upgrading to Windows 7 or 8.  If you do decide to purchase a new computer then I would recommend one with a 64-bit processor to help ensure you meet future system requirements.

  • Windows Vista won't boot changing from IDE to AHCI in BIOS

    Hi, I've spent a lot of time looking up this problem online. I can find lots of google search results and they seem to say go into the REGEDIT and change the 'msahci' start setting to 0 and even the 'pciide', or 'iaStorV' start settings to 0. But that doesn't work for me. The Windows load screen with the green load bar just keeps going across and Windows never starts up. I have Windows Vista Home Basic.
    I saw someone in this forum with a similar problem but they upgraded to Win7 on a fresh install to fix the problem, they were switching from RAID to AHCI. I contacted Intel tech support and they said to try HP or the motherboard manufacturer. I contacted Intel because I installed an Intel 520 series Solid State Drive and wanted to know if they had a driver to get the benefit of AHCI rather than IDE. I know lots of people recommend a fresh install of Windows but I did not get a cd of Windows with this computer
    (My computer is a Compaq Presario SR2170NX Desktop 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00835809&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en... )
    I tried installing this Microsoft fix too. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976
    I'm wondering if there is an AHCI driver I can install or anything I can do to get AHCI working?
    Thanks to anyone who can help!
    This question was solved.

    You're very welcome.
    I always leave the boot order BIOS setting to boot from the HDD first so as to shave off a few microseconds from the boot time. 
    When I need to boot from another device such as a DVD in your case, I turn on the PC, at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, I tap the F9 key to get the one-time boot menu.
    I select the DVD drive from the list. Then I hit the button on the drive to open the drive, pop the bootable DVD in, close the tray, wait a second or so and then hit the enter key.
    After I hit the enter key, watch the sreen for a message that states in substance...attempting to boot from DVD...press any key to boot from DVD...
    I press any key and the PC boots from the DVD and off I go...
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.
    Now remember...making that file is pretty easy, but only if you read both my notes and the guy that wrote the procedure's steps carefully.
    There have been a few forum members that I have had to coach during the process, because they were following that guy's every step to the letter, and as I pointed out, there is only one mistake on his first screen shot...but that one mistake is all it takes to stop you cold.
    Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
    The files were already extracted to that Vista folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
    You get past that, and you're home free.
    Good luck!

  • Windows Vista won't install

    Hey i just got a copy of windows vista but it won't install. i tried to install it using bootcamp but it asks me to start installing on a existing windows. i don't have any windows installed on my mac book. Do i have to install windows xp before installing windows vista?

    Thanks nerowolfe.
    I'll start doing my homework.
    The obvious: Is vista proving stable on the Mac built in drive?
    While some might consider me "lucky," I don't believe i luck. I have had no problems with any of my three Macs which now all run Leopard. My two MBPs were updated, not even an archive and install and they both run fine, as does my old G5.
    I installed XP-Pro on my 32-bit MBP when I first got it using BootCamp1.0, beta.
    I installed Vista Ult 64-bit on his MBP also under a beta version of BC, 1.2, I believe.
    All the Leopards are up to date, as are my Winders OSs. I finished updating this MBP to SP1 this morning. I have never had any problem, issue or anything I would consider serious. I did have the problem some have noted with Leopard, that the WiFI modem would turn off when not used, but that was not a Leopard issue, it was a firmware issue with my Westell modem, which works fine now that I upgraded its firmware.
    As of now, I have nothing but praise for both Apple and, yes, Microsoft.
    I learned long ago, that when you get down the the processor, it's all the same 1's and 0's
    I do research things quite well before actually committing myself, but that should be normal for everyone. Even a daredevil driver or stuntman carefully plans what he does, although it looks as if it's spontaneous.
    I use computers for business and pleasure and I need them as tools. I do not fool around with strange software or unplanned updates. So far, that has paid off.

  • Transfered music files from windows XP to windows vista won't play

    I recently bought a new Dell XPS 410 running Windows Vista Premium. I used a jump drive to transfer all my music from itunes to the new computer. The songs show up in my library, however when I click on it to play it comes up with a message that says "The song 'xxxx' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" This happens with songs that I purchased from itunes as well as songs that I downloaded from CDs. I have enabled the new computer to play purchased songs but this did not help. HELP!!! I know, I should have purchased an Apple.

    Please read the appropriate support articles from http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/.
    There is a procedure you need to follow for the iTunes library to be accessible from the external drive.
    Get back here to report how you get on.

  • Windows Vista won't connect after security change

    I have an AirPort Extreme base station, to which we connect using an iMac, PowerBook G4 and a Windows Vista laptop. I used to have it set to WEP, but changed it to WPA for the increased security. After the change, my PowerBook and iMac are connecting just fine, but my wife's Vista machine has been nothing but headaches. It will sometimes connect, after a bit of fighting with it, but not reliably or quickly. At the moment, it says that it is connected with local and internet access, but I can't actually access anything on the internet, and diagnosing the problem in Vista reports that a wireless network cannot be found (despite the fact that it simultaneously reports that it is connected to one).
    I know squat about Windows -- I'm a Mac guy. Anybody know how to help me fix this?
    Thanks in advance!

    No answers, but the problem seems to have disappeared. Man, I'm starting to realize how fortunate I am to have been using Macs for the last 23 years. I think Vista is going to be a very good thing for Apple! There's nothing like actually using Vista to make one want to flee screaming and never look back...

  • Windows Vista won't upload

    Help. My HP G50 will start but the Windows Vista will not upload. I've pressed the F 10 and F 11 buttons. Memory is good. I've backed up my files using the F 11 back up function. I've tried to go back to an earlier date using system restore, no results. Can I reset the computer to factory defaults, there is function in the F 11 button, and then retrieve my files. Do I need a recovery disc?
    This question was solved.

    Your subject is a tad strange. I believe you may mean that you can start your notebook, but the boot does not get as far as the Windows Vista login screen. Is that accurate?
    From the description you have given, I suggest that you will need to use your recovery media to recover your notebok to the state in which  it was delivered to you.
    Be aware that a recovery deletes all of the files.
    If you want to recover the files then you will need to use the backup funstion of the Recovery manager when it asks you if you want to bakup your files. Backup the files to an external disk connected to the notebook by usb. If you skip that step then your files will be deleted and gone.

  • Windows Vista Won't Recognize Internet Networks

    I just installed Windows Vista Home Basic on my MacBook Pro with Boot Camp. I have Road Runner wireless internet and my Mac side recognizes and connects all the time, but my Windows side doesn't recognize it or any other network. What's the problem and how can I fix it?
    Thanks,

    Uninstalled and reinstalled the new update. I even ran the setup as admin, but no dice. And there's no Java settings in the control panel either.
