ZEN MICRO Firmwear HELP!!

hi i reacently bought a new computer windows vista and it wouldnt reconize my creative so i deleted the firmware and basicly did everything in the recovery mode and And nothing works theres no firm ware upgrades for vista
so i dont know wat to do
thanks for anyhelp
i ve been like this for weeks im already saving up for an ipod

try? i think neither one of us work at creative lab for both of us to come to this guessing game. oh my god, i am appalled, by your lack of knowledge on this subject matter. so you want to experiment on the MTP protocol viscerally through the newbies? the more i read this forum the more i am likely to pursue a class action lawsuit for negligence & sabotage. sabotage because youe zen organizer for 32 bit vista is loaded with a trojan p2p worm. this could be intended to destroy the player or the user's computer while stealing private information. maybe we could both work together for ipod soon.

  • Zen Micro Installation help...please

    I just got a 5 gig Zen Micro. All was well until I attempted to install the program in the computer, which led to "Error code -600", which told me to clear my temp folder and check my internet connections. I have a cable connection, windows XP, and Norton antivirus. Does this have anything to do with my problem? If not, what am I doing wrong?
    please, someone, help. I'm about to ritually disassemble my micro.
    thanks and happy holidays

    ok i found the problem.
    after a few hours of googling i found that the error is caused by an outdated version of windows installer.
    to fix this problem on your computer find the folder
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield
    and rename it to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield-old
    and then run your install again that should fix your problem

  • Zen Micro firmware help

    Last night my Zen micro locked on the "creative" screen. It wouldn't power up or down. So i removed battery, held the on button and placed the batery in. I navigated to the "reload firmware option" and selected it. How long does this process take? Its been at it for 20 mins only on "erasing firmware". Any ideas/help?

    It should only take a few seconds.
    If functions in rescue mode aren't working properly the player is faulty.

  • I Need Serious Help With My ZEN MICRO! Help With MediaSource!! Don't Know What I'm Doing

    Hey.. I just bought my zen micro... i love the player itself...but coming from itunes, which is amazingly easy and simple to use, the creative mediasource is sooo hard for me to get the hang of! First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy... now, i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc... i can't do anything!! if there's someone who wouldn't mind helping me out..please reply or write and let me know.... thanks! jason. [email protected]

    >> First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy...
    This is not MediaSource's issue.
    >> i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc...
    The first task you need to do is to add all your songs into MediaSource's PC Music Library. After that, it is not difficult to figure out how to use MediaSource. Editing track properties and creating playlist is very simple. To transfer tracks to your devices, you need to click a button at the bottom right of MediaSource to open up another panel to facilitate the transfer.

  • Zen Micro Installation Help PLEEEAAASSSEEE

    My computer does not detect my zen micro nor does the software it came with. I reset it completely- there is no firmware on it. So is it possible for my computer to detect it, even if it doesnt have firmware? Right now when i boot up my micro it goes straight to Recovery Mode. thanks sooo much for any help...

    It's very similar to the procedure described here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

  • Zen micro problems, help! Any creative in Chi

    Hi guys I'm having problems with my Zen Micro since about two weeks it has been presenting several problems I've treated my micro very carefully it has only fell once to a carpet at not much a height and I'm getting various problems. When I play music after random play all like 5 times the mp3 gets stuck and only way to reset it is removing the battery. However, when i put the battery back and i turn it on it sometimes gets stuck on the creative screen or in rebuilding library. The only way to make my micro work again is connecting it to my pc and waiting for it to turn on. I'm very concerned and I would like to try to take it to creative to repair but I don't really know if there is a creative store or authorized local in Chile. Maybe there's also another solution for my problem without taking it to repair. However, I've tried various different methods (I've entered recovery mode, done clean up, I've also formatted, upgraded the firmware, but the problem still occurs). Could this malfunction could be caused by the battery of the zen failing?
    Thanks very much.

    up! come on any moderators plz help

  • Creative Zen Micro - Need Help - Ba

    i was given a going away party a couple of days ago and i recieved a zen micro without any cables or power adapter etc. I've spent all of today finding software and downloading it but everytime i put it into my pc though usb it says i cant get firmware or any of the software because noportable device can be foundwhenever i turn on my mp3 player the creative symbol comes up and then it jsut seems to freeze.....if i push and hold the power button after i have turned it on i can get into some sort of recovery thing but whenever i choose any of the options it freezes then too......what do i do ?

    it sounds like youve been given a faulty player. have a search in the forum for it freezing at start up as this is quite a common problem, but to be honest i think your stuck, if none of the rescue mode functions work then theres not much you can do and you cant get creative to do it as its not in warrenty and u dont have proof of purchse, im guessing. thus you could try and get them to fix it, for a fee probably $80 or something like that.but e-mail customer suport and see what they recoment about returing it, if you explain your situation.

  • Zen micro playlist help ple

    <FONT face=Century>Okay, so I've got my micro, (yay) and since I'm using my cousin's computer which only has Windows 98 on it so I can't run the software (therefore can't make playlists on the computer).
    So I'm trying to make playlists on the actual micro itself, so far I have done this:
    a) got one track, click on the menu button and chosen 'add to selected'
    b) got another and another etc.
    c) gone to 'now playing' and chosen 'save as playlist' and named it.
    Okay so now I have one playlist but if I try to make another using the method above, but the problem is, now that I have gone onto the 'now playing' menu I still have all the songs from my previous playlist there. Therefore if I add choose 'save as playlist' again it will choose all of them for the playlist.
    What I'm basically asking is how to clear the 'now playing' selection without deleting all my songs. Any help?

    Covered in the manual. Just go to the menu from now playing, and choose remove all to clear the queue.

  • Zen Micro Basic Help Plea

    Ok, I read the ENTIRE manual that came on the install CD. This is ALL I want to know:
    How do I STOP a song from playing say at mid-song? I don't want to switch to a different song, I just want to stop it. Not pause it and have it resume again later. I just want to stop a song and then just go to say the organizer or radio. If I turn the player off and then turn it back on, the song is back to playing. How do I clear the memory of this? I want to be able to turn the thing back on and be back to my home screen automatically. I hate technology. One more thing I have to learn. There are too many steps I have to remember with this thing. Hasn't someone written a fairly detailed road map? I need a little card that has all the user steps that I can carry around. Anyone make one of those yet? Also, when I am trying to set the stupid time and date.. I can get to the screen where it lets me change the date (FEB 2005) but what do I press after that to get the DAY and then what do I press for it to take hold? It goes back to my now playing screen if I take too long to figure it out. Of course, the manual does not go into detail about this... I need instructions that say : Do this, now do this, and then do this... Not everyone is tech minded. Can someone help me? Thanks!

    OK here goes.
    . In the Main Menu screen select Extras
    2. Select Date & Time
    3. Press the menu button and select Set Date
    4. Use the scroll bar, up or down until you find the required month and year, then select by clicking in the centre of the scroll bar.
    5. You should now have a calendar view. Use the vertical scroll bar to highlight the correct date and click to select.
    6. This should take you back to the main Date & Time display screen.
    7. Click the menu button again and select Set Time.
    8. The hour should be highlighted. Use the vertical scrollbar to select the correct hour and click in the middle to select.
    9. The minutes should now be highlighted. Again use the vertical scrollbar and click select again to highlight the seconds which can be changed in the same way.
    0. Clicking select again should take you back to that screen with the correct day, date and time highlighted.
    I'm told there is a user manual on the installation cd although I have to admit I've never used it as I'm a figure it out through playing kind of person.
    Enjoy the new technology!

  • Zen Micro photo help, screen stuck on CREAT

    It was a little bit chipped, but when I tried turning it on it gets stuck on the CREATIVE screen. When I did the clean-up procedure it got stuck on "scan disk".
    What should I do?Message Edited by sooch90 on 09-0-2006 08:52 AM

    It really sucks about your player
    ...but it was concrete.
    ...and you've got a disk dri've inside there.
    what do you think would happen if you dropped a desktop computer from 3 feet off the ground onto concrete?

  • Remote Zen Micro, FM recept

    Hi,
    I am wondering if the remote for the Zen Micro will help receiving FM radio channels. Where i li've almost all radio channels are just noise.
    FM reception becomes a lot better if I use a pair of Sennheiser HD 455 compared to the original headphones. (Problem with the Sennheiser is the size)
    Thanks,
    Jacob (Denmark)

    I could be wrong but, I believe that only whatever is plugged into the headphone jack serves as a reception enhancer.

  • Zen Micro Frozen, No Touchpad, No Firmw

    As you can probably tell by my message, i'm having more than my share of my 3-day old Zen Micro:
    Please help me out with whatever you can, since Customer Support seems beduffled.
    - It all started when my TouchPad froze. Joy.
    2- Then, i couldn't restart becuase it won't shut down. I have to yank the battery out.
    3- I tried holding down the 'off' button whilst i put the battery back in. But how can i restart without the touchpad?
    4- Customer Support told me to d/l the version 2 firmware whilst in the recovery mode (the screen with 4 options). It didn't work, becuase the firmware wouldn't update whilst the player was connected to the USB port. However, once i disconnected the USB port, the firmware would start up, and then ofcourse freeze.
    Customer Support told me to send it in, however; thought i'd try u guys.
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for the reply,
    I tried doing that on my laptop, but there's still a problem.
    This sucks, i don't wanna send it back to Creative for repair when i just got it 3 days ago!!!!
