Zen Micro install d

Hi I traveled to Houston from New Mwxico for treatment at MD Anderson cancer center. I thought I would be here for 7-0 days. Will be here for several weeks. I brought my Zen Micro to listen to books. Just bought a laptop to download books from the library. I brought everthing but the install disk. Can I download the install disk from this website? If so how do I do it's?
Thanks

With Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), yes. With a version prior to this, no.
It needs USB mass storage support.

  • Zen Micro Install Problems -- H

    Hello All,
    I just got my Zen Micro yesterday and I've been up all night trying to get the thing working so please bear with me.
    The problem that I'm having is I install the software from the CD it says that installation is complete but every time I connect the Micro to the computer the found new hardware icon comes up but then the found new hardware wizard runs and wants me to install the software again. I've read hundreds of post regarding this problem and have tried a lot of the suggestions given but still no luck. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software more times than I can remember right now also with no luck.
    Key Points
    Firmware version is .02.05
    When I connect the Micro there is no docking screen it goes straight to now playing.
    It does show up in device manager and when I double click on it the following is displayed:
    This device is not configured correctly. (Code )
    To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver
    I click on reinstalled driver and again the found new hardware wizard starts I tell I'll fine the driver myself but when I look in the creative folder there is nothing there. I click on the driver tab and it tells me
    Driver Provider - Unkonwn
    Driver Date - Unavaliable
    Driver Version - Not Avaliable
    Digital Signer - Not digitally Signed
    I click on the details tab and get the following which I have no idea what it means.
    USB\VID_04E&PID_4E\00525503908B
    I've tried running both WMP 0 and Zen Media explorer and both tell me there is no device connected.
    Whew I'm pooped
    My only option at this point is to take it back to Circuit City and get another one but I'm affriad the same thing might happen.
    Any help would be greatly apreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi! Returning it isn't the solution you are right.
    First you might want to clean the disk and reboot it. You do that by shutting it off. Take off the battery back slide the battery out then put it back in and hold the on button on for a few seconds and a
    reboot screen will come one. has a clean disk, reboot. I would do that first.
    If you want to use a download service for music other than napster you need to upgrade your
    firmware. I wanted it for real rhapsody so chose the play for sure download. Had a little trouble
    getting it to recognize the machine but it did.
    You also need to check the device manager. Right click My Computer, left click properties, check
    device manager to make sure the Micro is in the USB bus ports with no problem.
    If there is a problem you might click on it and make sure the device is enabled.
    I love mine now that i've gone through the installation hassles. Great sound easy to use.
    Just not easy to get started.

  • Creative Zen Micro with a ! on its side: not work

    I had the Zen Micro installed in my computer but it stopped working. If I now connect the portable device nothing appears, and it tells me that I have to install the drivers. I put the cd in, but at some point it gives me back an error message saying that the .inf files refers to a service that doesn't work. What am I supposed to do?Does it have anything to do with a usb problem?

    ANY IDEAS?

  • Zen Micro - New Downloads - Applications (With or without *PlaysForSu

    Are these entirely NEW applications or Upgrades to the current Explorer, Sync Mgr, Import Wiz, CD Rip Wiz software ?
    Will there be any selections required when executing ZENM_PCAPP_LB__00__MTP.exe ?
    Please advise...
    Thanks in Advance...

    Sharkman205,
    The install only requires that you have the drivers for the Zen Micro installed and have the MTP firmware installed. They contain the entire application.
    The Firmware requires that the drivers for the Zen Micro are installed. You will also want to back up your songs. Otherwise it should be an easy operation to install the upgrade.

  • My new Zen Micro is vexxing

    OK, got a new Zen Micro, installed the software as directed on a WinXP Pro machine, SPa, and I reboot. I plug the thing in, and it says that the device is not detected correctly, and it does not work. I reinstall drivers, move to another port, play with my BIOS settings, the whole 9 yards...
    I also notice something odd. I plug in the USB cable, and the player freezes. Requires me to unplug the battery to reset.
    I plug in the battery charger, it freezes, requiring the battery to be pulled.
    Unfortunately, I do not have another cable to try.
    Any idears? Is it just defecti've, or is this something simple? I reall ylike this thing, but I am not gonna struggle with it or deal with an unstable product, you know?
    I don't want to be one of those dorks with the iPod, but if I have to... LOL
    Anyways, any help would be most welcome.

    Well, I got it working on my home PC, but cannot get it working on my laptop. I turned off the PM on the USB root hubs in the device manager, and I plugged it into one of the rear ports rather than my case's front USB port.
    Then it started working. But I do not seem to be aqble to get it to work on my laptop, which is a brand new IBM Thinkpad T4 running Win2K. Perhaps I do not have the proper drivers and crap installed, but my IT department has this thing locked down pretty well. I can install some things with some creative workarounds, but not others.
    When I plug the player into this laptop, it sees it and knows it is a Zen Micro, but then Windows wants to install the drivers(which I already did and rebooted), and it cannot find any compatable drivers, and so it sits here.
    From the songs I loaded onto it from my home PC, the sound quality is good, but unless I can get this resolved by early afternoon, I am just gonna swap it out for an iPod mini I think. I am not gonna bash this product, but sometimes there is a reason why one brand or item dominates the market... But I will see what I can dig up during the day, perhaps I can get this thing working properly afterall...
    Any other ideas, throw them my way, thanks!

  • Zen Micro - Windows Vista HEL

    hello,I am attempting to load up my Creative Zen Micro install disc on new pc with Vista.click on the exe file and does nothing except part show the first screen. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks??

    i think its time to buy a new player, since they refuse to support old players. they made it clear to me when i was pointed to download a file with trojan worm with it. the name of the file is ZCST_PCAPP_LB__04_06.exe. this is suppose to be the zen organizer for 32 bit vista. installing this will destroy your old player, so that you will buy a new one sooner.

  • Zen Micro "USB Device Not Recogniz

    Hi, I can tell from the forum that this has been discussed quite extensi'vely already but I thought I would check that I have done everything possible.
    Basically, I have today received my Zen Micro, installed the software and then connected it to my computer and all I get is USB device not recognized.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed the software, tried a different USB cable and socket, formatted and cleaned up the player and still nothing.
    There is no other computer for me to test it on. Any suggestions?

    Either a new USB cable or more likely a new PCI USB2 card. Chances are the USB card is faulty, but I can't emphasise enough how testing on another PC will clear up where the fault lies. All you need is a PC to test, whether it be a friends, other family member etc.
    Also don't forget to search on "communication problem" in the FAQ post, and follow the link that takes you to for lots of troubleshooting advice.

  • I've installed firmware for my zen micro, now i can't use my creative software! Please he

    I wanted to download some music from napster and to play it on my player it told me I needed a firmware upgrade. I knew from buying my player that I probably would need to upgrade so I did. Once I installed the upgrade, and plugged my zen micro in and now it will only let me use windows media player? to transfer my music to my player. I hate this software as it doesn't work brilliantly, I was really happy with the creative software, but now when I plug in my micro and open the creative software it won't recognise it. I've tried reinstalling the creative software but its made no difference. Also, a box keeps coming up with something called MTP what is this? Can anyone help me with this problem? I would really appreciate it!

    MTP is microsoft's media transfer protocol. Essentially, your micro can now connect to WinXP SP2 computers with WMP0 without loading Creative drivers.
    The new firmware you installed allows you to drag and drop files to your micro using windows explorer. In order to use any of Creative's software, you'll need to download and install updated versions from their website.

  • Zen Micro: My comp won't install driv

    Hello everyone, this is my first post. I just recently bought a Zen Micro, and during the installation, Right when it was about to finish, I got an error message that read like "There was an error installing the drivers". Everything seemed to be installed right, and everything worked, but when I connected the Micro to my computer through USB, my computer recognized that the Micro was there, but when I tried using the Zen Media Explorer, it said that my Micro was not connected. I tried calling customer support and they told me to uninstall and reinstall, same problem. They also said it might be my anti-virus software, so I uninstalled that, same problem. I even went to download the driver from nomadness.com, and those drivers won't install either. Does anyone know what I can do to get my drivers to install?

    just got a zen micro and guess what i am having the same problem, running on widows ME, went through the installation procedure. get a big red x that says windows cannot find driver, tired to reinstall the drivers both from the cd and from the usbman.com site, all end up in the same place, reinstalling drivers is not just happening. the systems subolder shows a yello question mark under zen creative.
    a hint or two:
    . i had the same problem with my Rave mp3 player and the service support fellow asked me to download the files from usbman.com, still didnot work. returned the **bleep** thing.
    now i have the zen and guess what, it is doing the same thing, wonder if it is windows me?
    2. when i restart the computer is get the following message (this is new for today)
    windows could not upgrade file % etc. etc. this error happened on the restart after installation.
    help me please.

  • Can TWO different Zen Micros be installed on the same computer w/o confli

    I have a Zen Micro 5G, and would like to buy a Zen Micro Photo 8G as well. Does anyone know if there will be conflicts to install the software (firmware?) on the SAME computer? I had conflicts when I tried to install two different Palm Pilots on the same computer - the software of the first Palm no longer worked properly. Perhaps the new one "overrides" the first? I don't know if this might happen with the Zen Micro and Micro Photo.
    Also, does anyone know if the Micro Photo fits into the Zen Micro Traveldock?
    Thanks so much for any insight you can offer!

    I don't think they will conflict because if you use mediasource, you can have different music libraries etc...
    I believe the microphoto fits the traveldock, but don't hold me to it

  • Where can I find older firmware for my Zen Micro? (Also, firmware install troubl

    I recently got a Zen Micro for free. It had several problems, most of which I've fixed, or can not fix until I solve this one:
    Every time I start up, it gives me an "Overheating, Shutting Down" error. It's not overheating (I drenched the circuitry in circuit-freezer), and the one thermostat chip I could find is working normally. Any clue where others are? CPU, perhaps? (The problem does not occur when hooked up to the USB)
    I read something about firmwares .02 and later having an overheat shut-down program integrated into them. So before I give up on this thing, I would like to try firmware .0 or lower.
    Of course, the Zen being out for 4+ years, such old firmware is hard to find.
    You guys, being Creative people, should know where I could find some. If any of you have any on your computer, could you send it to me?
    Also, I tried to install firmware .02.05, but when I load it, the program gives me an error telling me to update my jukebox drivers to the latest version, of which they are. The latest . and P4S firmwares load fine onto the Zen. Help?

  • Installing Zen Micro on an Apple iB

    I am trying to install a Creative Zen Micro onto an Apple iBook. Is this possible? and if so can someone help with instructions on how to do so. I just bought the refurbished iBook and an clueless on how to install this MP3 player. I have tried e-mailing Creative support on 2 occassions already and as yet no one has replied to my e-mails so here goes. Thank you.

    Make sure to look in the FAQ post, which covers compatiblity with Macs.

  • Zen Micro not recognised after installing Media Player 11 Bet

    Can anyone help?
    I've updated Windows Media Player 0 to version Beta 2 and now my Zen Micro (Firmware 2.2.02 Playforsure) isn't recognised anyway on my system.
    I've tried to re-install the CD but this doesn't do anything. I've download all the updates I can find on Creative's website and that does nothing.
    I can't even use the Zen Micro MTP exlorer as this has disappeared off my system.
    I'm running Windows XP SP2.
    HELP!

    The problem will be the same I would think because the issue is that the player is an older one, so WMP does not recognise it. Unless they change it in te full version, which is probably only a slim chance, you will still need to download the hotfix and the other update.
    But if i were you i wait for the full version anyway, the Beta 2 is better but still far from perfect...

  • Zen Micro Photo not working with new XP SP2 install

    Okay so my Zen Micro Photo stopped being recognised on my computer about ten months ago when I upgraded to WMP (for BBC iPlayer - it's compulsory to have it). Anyway I li'ved with this and have now got thoroughly sick of the same songs and nothing new so I have done a fresh install (on a brand new hard dri've) of Windows XP SP2 WMP9 with the sole intention of using this install/hard dri've?for the player. I used the original installation disk and it prompted me to upgrade to WMP0 as I installed everything. There were no errors during the install and I rebooted when prompted to.
    When I attach the player it is recognised by the machine (task bar icon and correctly labelled in System > Hardware > Device Manager which reports it to be?working okay) but the Creative media software says "player not attached" when it is. It is not visible on My Computer as a dri've so I STILL have no access to the player. Player screen reports "docked" with a logo and is flashes a charging icon. Driver v5.2.0.0. The player plays fine but hasn't had new music on in almost a year
    There is nothing else on the XP install (IE6 and everything - argh!) I did the registry permission tweak thing mentioned?here:?http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=9287?but it didn't do anything.
    Any help greatfully received!

  • Zen Micro and Vista - I can't install my Zen! Please he

    I have a Zen Micro that I bought back in 2004 and have been running it with no problems whatsoever on my old Windows 2000 machine. I have just bought a new computer with Windows Vista, and I can't get Vista to successfully install the Zen software or recognise my Zen. Every time I attach the unit to my computer I get the "found new hardware" message, and Vista asks me to supply the software that came with the unit. When I insert the CD, the computer scans if for a bit,?then says it can't find the drivers and aborts the installation. Any hints / tips on getting Vista to recognis my Zen Micro?Thanks in advance!

    I experienced the same problems in Vista with 2 different Zen Micros on firmware 2.2.02. I tried everything and then when I tried another Vista computer it WORKED right away! This made me sure that it was the Vista computer and nothing else. All that happens is the Vista computer tries to look on Windows Update and doesn't find the drivers so prompts you to insert the install disc. Those not connected to the Internet at the time don't have the problem.
    SOLUTION:
    When prompted to insert the install disc all you need to do is the following:
    Click "Show Other Options"
    Choose to look in a folder on the computer
    Enter c:\Windows
    Wait for it for find the driver, thats IT! This also worked for my external DVD-RW which had the same problem.
    Happy Zen'ing!
