Write a Vista firmware upgrade for Zen Micro to Make Upgrading Simple. Not XP upgra

please just write a vista compatible firmware update for the zen micro. don't complicate matters, by telling us to download this: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=23&Product=0795&dlcentr ic=9304&Product_Name=ZEN+Micro&filetype=4&OSName=W indows+XP first, run in XP, so that it could be used in vista. this is an oxymoron solution. maybe this does not register in your mind, but not all of us have 2 computers or have dual booting systems. this is just a plain lack of regards for your existing customers needs. you want to make this transition to be as difficult as possible for people stuck in this operating system upgrade limbo.

Firmware download for Zen Micro is Fau

The firmware download found here:
http://ie.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?sOSName=Windows+XP&region=3&Product_N ame=Zen+Micro&Product_ID=0795&modelnumber=&driverl ang=033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=26&y=9
(Number )
...is a faulty file. When you download the application and open it, the language choice appears. However it won't let you choose any language, and so you cannot continue.
Anyone know what the story is here? Any remedies to this?
Thanks!Message Edited by eskimo on 03-03-200608:26 PM

Thanks for your replies!
I tried both of your suggestions but neither has worked.
I'm pretty computer-literate so I have a good idea what I'm doing but it's just not working!
Basically, when the list of languages appears on the screen, it's as
if the list is just text instead of links.
The mouse doesn't react to the word "English", or "French" in anyway whatsoever.
Any more help would be hugely appreciated!

What to do if new firmware for zen micro is not for you

Ok its pretty simple, takes long but it should work (never been tested)
Uninstall the new firmware (keep all your songs saved onto PC music library)Install the cd you were given with the zen micro.You'll have all your songs on your pc library ( i would reccomend clearing out you zen micro music library and just putting the pc music library songs on your zen micro from there) so just transfer all the files you want onto the zen micro and it should be running fine.please reply and tell me what happens.Zenmastertml

Hi Prakash,
As per GAAP - FI general accepting account principal,
Balance is define as on date,
while transaction/P&L can define for perticular period date range.
Here, I guess you want to see balance as on 30.06.2011
and transaction for 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011.
Am i right?
FYI, If you use 0BALANCE for any period, let say 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011
then it will show balance for last day 30.06.2011
because its aggregation is SUM, LAST Value on time characteristics.
More detail on requirement will help us to provide you better solution.

Cannot Edit Playlists in Zen Micro Media Player for Zen Micro on Windows Vista 32

When I click on the icon for my Zen I do not get a folder list - just a music library. As a result I cannot edit any playlists I have created as there is no icon for it. Please could anybody advise me? Many thanks.

The Media Explorer for the zen micro is not compatiable for Vista I have the same problem.

New firmware for Zen Micro Touch download message said can't use firmware now lost all origi

Tried dowloading new firmware as suggested by Creative as tracks slipping. Firmware saved to my received files but message says 'cannot use this firmware upgrade - download a suitable firmware' now my Zen says firmware error - please help wot have I done wrong or need to do??

You're right!
!!! I tried to download the wrong thing... I've downloaded the Zen Micro firmware which was the same as what i had i.e. V.0.0.65 and did clean up but the tracks are still slipping - any idea?

Which Media Explorer version do i need for Zen Micro 5gb with Firmware 2.20.

Same old story, been trying for hours and hours to transfer music onto the player. Searching forums for answers.

I have tried installing Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB) but it doesn't recognise my player is plugged in.

Also tried installing Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) (23.98 MB) but Win Media Player 0 still doesn't recognise the player.

Should i bother installing software/drivers from the original CD i got? Or download them instead? Which do i need to download? Do i need to change the firmware?

I know these questions have been asked thousands of times, but all the answers i have read don't seem to be doing the trick.

Cheers for any help given.

Hurrah, i FINALLY got it working.
Installed drivers/software from original cd.
Downloaded/installed the Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) (23.98 MB) and managed to get the 'sync' feature working in WMP0.
Downloaded/installed Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB) but it wasn't detecting my Zen.
Went into Device Manager and firstly uninstalled the MTP Device under Windows Portable Devices.
Connected Zen again, went into Device Manager again, right clicked on the MTP device and clicked on Update Driver.
The Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update then detected my device and installed.

New accessories for Zen micro? New firmwa

i'm most likely gonna buy the zen micro tonight. i figure that it is creative's new "flagship" model so that means its prob. gonna get the most firmware, acc., and most support. if anyone has a reason i shouldnt get it let me know, i've read all the stuff about freezes and everything, but i'm sure by christmas there will be plenty of firmware for all these probs. hopefully lol. also, are there any 3rd party accessories for the micro, like skins or cases or anything? any new firmware about to be realeased?

In Japan, the remote comes with the Zen Micro (still doesn't justify the $80 dollar price increase!!). I tried using the remote and found it to be a waste. I wouldn't bother buying it. When I am wearing a jacket I put the Micro in my jacket breast or side pocket. When I am not wearing a jacket, I use the case and belt clip.
Unless you make massi'vely long playlists and would thus keep the Micro in your bag for LONG periods of time, the remote is essentially useless. It only has volume, puase, play, and next track controls, and no display of course.
Just my thoughts on the remote. The clip sucks on the remote too. It's too small to clip to the strap on my bag securely.

BEFW11S4 v.4 and Vista - firmware upgrade failures

Hello
I have had this router for about 5 years, running it with XP with no problems. Ever since I got a new laptop with Vista, the wireless connects for an hour or so and then drops out and I have to unplug the router for five seconds and re-plug in order to reconnect (my other laptop with XP doesn't have this problem).
I understand that there are compatibility issues between the BEFW11S4 v. 4 and Vista so I tried to upgrade the firmware from linksys.com and kept getting a failed message. I hard rebooted the router but holding in the restart button for 30 seconds, and the upgrade still failed. So I re-set the factory settings through the router's online admin function, re-downloaded the upgrade and still got the failed emssage (I am certain that the model & version number is correct and I'm downloading the correct firmware upgrade).
Is there anything else I can do other than a) buy a new router; b) live with teh drop-outs; c) remove Vista and go back to XP?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you have any Firewall or Antivirus installed on your computer, you can disable it and after this try upgrading the firmware of your router. It if still dosent work then you can try it from some other computer and try it again.If it still the same problem then i think you can Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now again you can try upgrading the firmware of your router.

Using chargers for Zen Micro other then creat

Has anybody used other chargers for their Zen Micro other then the Creative Chargers? I searched the forum and found people using the Rio Carbon charger or the Dell Pocket DJ chargers. Do there cause any damage to the battery? And can I find these in stores in Canada?

I've used a third-party RAZR charger with 2..02 firmware, but with that firmware you'll first have to set aside at least 28MB for a removable disk. (You don't have to put it in removable-disk mode when charging; just do a one-time setup.)
However, I have seen a peculiar problem: Once it's charged up from the RAZR charger, the touch pad's sensitivity goes haywire--it clicks twice when it should click once, sometimes it clicks without touching, etc. To recover, you have to unplug it from the charger, then power-cycle.

Installation Cd for zen micro not compadable with windows vis

I got a new laptop for christmas and I tried installing my zen micro using the installation disk. it loads up and says that it dose not support my computer and then cancels. i tried downloading the organizers off this website but they woulnt work? because they couldnt find any software for the zen. I have used this installation disk before on a different computer and it worked fine. Is it because my laptop has windows vista? help!

I have a ZEN Vision M and had no problem installing the Creative software on my windows Vista system. Upon placing the ZEN cd in my player I was prompted as to what action to take with the CD, I selected RUN.EVE. Then I was asked to verify that I wanted to allow the install application to run. t that point all I had to do was answer the Creative questions to install the software. I have Windows Vista Home Premium and the Creative Media Source version is 3.30.35.

Fix for Zen micro photo freezing at start

This is to confirm what I read on a previous post. My micro photo had frozen at the start up, no keys worked and I had to take the battery out to turn off. I was waiting for an RMA and read on a post that the problem could be solved by lightly striking the unit on hard surface while in the on position, let me say, "THIS DOES WORK AND NO LOSS OF CONTENT!". The hard dri've unit seems to get stuck for different reasons, this can be confirmed by a soft clicking or buzzing coming from the unit while in the stuck position. The striking of the unit must jar the hard dri've back into position with no apparent loss of content. So before you re-format, re-install firmware or send the unit in for repair, try this, it worked for me.

THIS DOES WORK. when i first purchased my zen micro
i had dropped it and when i took out the battery
and put it back in, it froze at the creative screen
after paying fees and getting it fixed, there was
no problems for about a year. today it froze out
of nowhere during a song and once again
had frozen on the creative screen. after reading
this post (and also reading why NOT to do it) i decided
to just try it because i would have to replace it anyway.
so i turn the mp3 on, and lightly banged it on my desk
to my surprise it lit up and the screen said "rebuilding library"
and started playing. SO IT DOES WORK!

Any more news on release for ZEN Micro Ph

Firmware problem with Zen Micro (Hel

Well,I was installing the frimware MTP 2.00.2, suddenly the install freezed after the second boot. At that point my computer could not find the Zen Micro, but the thing is that it was found it in the Device Manager driverless. I tried everything to install the drivers to the Zen Micro, but no success. But I cant understand why I can connect to the removable disk, and not get in touch with it when im turning the removable disk option off. And now i reached the point that I do not know what do do! Help!

Use the recovery mode on your Zen Micro to remove the existing messed-up firmware.
Ensure that the Zen Micro is turned off.
Remove the battery.
Move and hold the Power button to the Power On position and re-insert the battery to the Zen Micro. Hold the Power button until the rescue mode appears.
Select option 3: Reload OS
After that you will need to reinstall the firmware from your computer.
