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 - not detected after installing new flashc

I replaced the flashcard in my Zen Micro. Everything went well until I tried to connect the player to my computer and download the firmware. I get a message that the player is not detected.
I have read a lot of posts on this and other forums and tried many solutions--connecting the player to another computer, deleting the player from the hardware list in Device Manager and reconnecting it, connecting it to different USB ports, and using different software (Windows Media Player, Creative MediaSource, RealPlayer, etc.). So far, nothing has worked.
My computer is running Vista. I have another one that is running Windows XP. If anyone has suggestions for working around this on either system, I'd be grateful! Otherwise, I'm afraid my beloved Zen Micro is a goner... :-(
Thank you!

*FIXXED* Issues updating firmware on Creative ZEN portable devices after installing Media Player

<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">?Quote from windows website ?If you have a Creative ZEN device, see http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player//readme.aspx#RollingbacktoapreviousversionofthePlay er Read the ?Rolling back to a previous version of the Player? instructions (by the way windows website is even willing to address the problems with creatives products. And they offer possible solutions)
*Some people said this was all you needed to do but it did not work for me.
2. I uninstalled every program which mentioned creative.
a. Click my computer
b.click Add / Remove programs
c. Find anything that is made by creative and uninstall (or if you hate creative as much as me just look for anything that says creative or might hint at being a creative product)
3.Go into My Computer / Program Files? and delete the folder named ?creative?
4.Click ?Start? Click ?run? type in ?MSCONFIGOK? on the tabs click ?Services? then click on ?manufacturer? and uncheck anything that says Creative, click ?service? and also uncheck anything which mentions creative? if you think it has to do with creative technologies ltd. *RESTART*
Tried to load firmware again... ?Nothing
5. Installed old software from ?creative zen touch? & ?Creative Media Source? from the Creative Zen Touch CD. On both just did the full install. They congratulated me on my purchase of my zen touch! They could have?congratulated me on burning 250$. *Restarted
*THIS IS THE KEY*************
6. Download Microsoft media player 0 from some website, I used oldversion.com
http://www.oldversion.com/download.p...e4e5bbb7694ded?
7. I then updated windows media player ten... just updates for 0 I didn't install .
8. On this WINDOWS site http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...dme.aspx#57877 click on and read ?Issues with devices after removing Windows Media Player?. When you are done with the procedure of deleting and reinstalling your the portable device I plugged in my mp3 player and it recognized it's not a big shock because it recognized it as a zen touch before I deleted the drivers. So I got the new drivers it noticed it, just like other systems noticed, but this time the Creative horribly programmed firmware update recognized it. I will never buy another creative product again, probably most of you wont either. But I have already paid the money for this product so I plan on using it until the battery dies on me. Hope this helps!

Zen Micro not recognised by

Hi all,
I need help. My Zen Micro refused to be recognised by my PC. I have installed, deleted, re-installed, deleted till the cows came home and still whenever I connect my Zen Micro to my PC, it gives me a message that my USB is not functioning properly.
I have confirmed that the unit is working (I brought it down to the service center and connected it there and it works). So I suspect that there is some corrupted driver somewhere.
Thing is, I even put my PC into save mode and manually deleted the creative folder and still no luck.
Also the unit hangs when this happens.
Can anyone help?
This is the first time I am using a Creative portable audio player.

Hi,
I just registered on this forum and was going to post my problem when I noticed this post.....
This exact same thing has happenned to me today with a Zen Touch that I have. It just refuses to be recognised by my PC. As per richielo I have installed, deleted, re-installed, deleted till the cows came home and still whenever I connect my Zen Touch to my PC, it gives me a message that my USB is not functioning properly.
I know my USB is OK as I have connected other devices to the same port and they work fine. The weird thing too is it used to work but doesnt work anymore.
I followed the install instructions to the letter and all the software went on OK but when the PC restarts it doesnt recognise the Zen Touch.
I have contacted Customer Support in Australia and he had no answer. So we thought we would format the Zen Touch. We did so and now we are getting a Firmware error. So he sent me the firmware driver and I have tried to install it but it wont go through as the USB port doesnt recognise the Zen Touch. This feels like one big downward spiral and the thing is getting worse and worse.
Please help ASAP.
Thanks,
Miguel

Yes. Uninstall Intego Virus Barrier. You don't need it.

Zen Micro not recognised by PC with USB

I've upgraded my micro to 2.0.2 but my PC doesn't see it (ie it doesn't go into dock). The PC has USB and the Micro it is charging OK. I don't have this problem when I try it on a laptop with USB 2 ports. Both the laptop & the PC have Media player 0.
Anybody else had this problem & managed to solve it ?

And presumably the PC has Win XP and WMP0?
I remember hearing before that someone had problems getting v2 firmware to work with USB. Not sure if it's a general or specific issue...

No sound after installing Media Player

My husband installed Adobe Media Player last Friday and now we have no sound from any application - all cables and speakers have been checked and re-seated multiple times :-) Device manager says devices are functioning correctly, but Directx Diagnostics produces Errors (code is Ox80004005(Generic Failure).
Could this be a conflict with Adobe Media Player? Does anyone know how I can fix the problem?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pam

please reinstall your sound card driver

Cd-drive not recognised after installing itunes

after I installed itunes, my computer didn't recognise my cd-drive, in properties for the drive it states the following
Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)

I have seen several other people with the same issue. The problem seems to be some level of incompatibility between the Gear Software CD/DVD filter driver used by iTunes and some CD/DVD drives under Vista. I too have a Dell with the same problem, but I'm not holding my breath for a fix. The only workaround I know of is to to remove the GearAspiWDM filter driver from the registry. If you do this and reboot, your DVD drive will show up again, and iTunes will work except for burning CDs or DVDs. ITunes will also complain about drivers being installed incorrectly whenever you open it.
Here's the registry key to remove:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}\UpperFilters=GearAspiWDM
I'm not sure whether the problem is with Vista, Gear Software, iTunes, or the Dell DVD drive firmware. But, getting all the parties working together to resolve this one will be next to impossible in my opinion.

Passwords not recognised after install

Hi,
I've just upgraded my MBP to Mountain Lion and the two user accounts installed will now not login at the opening screen. Nothing has changed other than the install.
I've tried a Command R and password reset via terminal but still nothing.
Help? I'd read the horror reviews of ML but chose to show faith with Apple, now I can't use my laptop!
Thanks

I had to hack it via terminal and create a new admin account in the end:
create a new admin account:
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple key + s key down after you hear the chime.
(command + s keys on newer Macs)
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
Not happy.

If the firmware is indeed ..0, have you installed the latest Creative drivers? Is it possible they installed 2.x firmware instead?

My wifi printer is not recognised after installing airport extreme

Hi,
I have recently changed internet provider and took the opportunity to change router. I removed a netgear modem/router and installed a Draytek Vigor120 modem and Apple AirPort Extreme. My existing wifi HP all in one printer (which was working normal before change) is no longer recognised. I want to use the USB port on the extreme for an external hard drive so don't want to connect the printer to it. Any solutions? I am using an imac with OS X 10.8.3.

Well the printer wont be recognized until it has been connected to the new wifi. Most wifi printers use either an LCD screen on them or software that came with them. You will likely need to reconfigure the printer so that it can connect to your new network.

Zen Micro "not connected" problem since upgrading firmw

Hi All,
I have had the zen micro for a week and it has been working fine with original firmware & software supplied on CD.
After noticing the battery life was poor, I decided to upgrade the firmware.
This is where all my troubles began...
After upgrading the firmware to 2.00.2 I found that when I connected my player it was now recognised at an MTP device and windows asks me if I would like WMP (windows media player) to sync with the device.
If I select yes, it tries to find the device in WMP and tells me it is not connected !
If I go into Control Panel- Device Manager tells me that I DO have a zen micro connected under the "Windows Media Devices" section.
Zens micro media explorer now also fails to see my device and thinks it is disconnected.
So I have no way of transferring files to my zen micro.
In an attempt to remove the problem I try going into rescue mode on the zen and reloading the firmware to an earlier version, with a version I have downloaded from this website .0.03.
The zen successfully erases the firmware and behold, my pc still fails to recognise the device so it cannot install any firmware on top of this.
So now I have a Zen with no firmware installed (and a "firmware problem" message everytime I turn it on) and a pc that won't recognise it anymore.
I have spent a good 5 hours this evening trying to fix this.
I have tried everything on these forums, but I simply cannot get my PC to connect to the zen micro, despite it recognising it everytime I connect it !
Please help before me or the zen dies !
Thanks,
Mat.

Here is a note I sent to the Creative support folks. They simply suggested I go back to firmware .0.03.
I have to admit, going back to the other firmware update does not seem to be the true resolution, but I really don't have any more time to waste fixing your bugs. So, I am now on .0.03. It's a good thing I synchronized all 920+ songs, or I would not be a happy camper right now. :-)
I will tell you it appears to be a multiple USB issue with your new firmware. I experimented with this, and found that if I have my iPAQ connected into my USB ports, as well as my USB mouse, my USB CD/DVD dri've and my USB Keyboard, the MTP explorer will not recognize the Zen Micro.
When I take the iPAQ out, magically, the Zen Micro gets recognized and the MTP Explorer is working. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH THE MTP FIRMWARE!!
I am now back to the .0.03 release of the firmware and none if this happens. As I write this to you, I have everything connected and I am ripping a CD to my device - no problems. I am fortunate however to have a laptop that I was able to do this with, otherwise I would be in the same place others are, and the upgrade frimware doesn't ever recognize the Zen Micro, even though it is in the Device Manager. ?
So, I would say, that your MTP firmware takes control too much, and seems to substitute for something like an iPAQ, where they cannot co-exist or other USB harware, such as a memory reader (CF, SmartMemory, etc.). This is not a PC USB issue, in my mind. It is a firmware issue that is causing the conflict.
Thanks.
