Zen Micro not recognised using zen micro media explo

Hi?get the error "device not connected" when I use the above facility,even though IT IS plugged in with the USB cable?Player is recognised in Windows Media Player. Any ideas ??Thanks??

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 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!

  • Zen Micro not recognised by my

    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.
    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

  • PC not recognising my Zen Vid

    I'm not even told that it hasn't been recognised, when i connect my Zen to my PC the Zen switches itself on, however this does not show on my computer. I've tried all the drivers and everything.

    You might want to check Device Manager to see if the Zen is being recognized there. If it isn't recognized in Device Manager, it won't be displayed on any applications. You might also want to try connecting it to another computer, if you have access to another one, and see if it is being recognized on an alternati've system. That information would be helpful in diganosing the problem you're facing.

  • Zen Orginizer not picking up Zen Mi

    when i go to my orginizer i do not see my Zen Micro on the left. when I plug it into the USB i hear the sounds that it is recognized and i see that it is recognized when I go to my Device Manager, but the Zen Orginizer is not picking it up.

    You can do a couple things. One or the othershould help. Update your Windows Media Player to version0 http://www.filehippo.com/download_wi...edia_player/9/ to check for components of CMS5 Go to Start>All Programs>Creative System Information>Creative Products>Creative Software> Creative Media Source5 there you will find the installed components of the software. The one you are looking for is this one: If you don't have this component installed MediaSource5 won't recognize your device

  • 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...

  • Help on - Zen Micro not recognise on PC ver 1.11

I call them and upgraded my Window service pack but still it cant recognise it. And they told me to reformat but i cant load my firmware via usb to my mp3 becos everytime it is plugin it HANG!
    Anyone knows how to solve this problem? i am getting very disappointed ....

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

  • Zen V not recognised when plugged into laptop and it won't turn

    Hi,
    I just recently discovered this issue after not using my Zen V for a good month or so. Basically when I plugged it into my USB port it isn't recognised - all the software is installed yet it comes up saying new hardware was found with the name "STMP3600" and asks to to insert a disc and install the software. I remember seeing the software CD recently, but I'm experiencing that horrid feeling when you can see it at the front of your mind but you can't seem to quite grasp where it is :smileyvery-happy: I looked on this site but the only downloads are the Recovery programme (says I've not got anything plugged in) and the firmware (can't update if PC says nothing is connected).
    I also can't turn it on; normally when its flat it turns on to the 'Creative' screen then flashes up with a battery warning sign and the words 'Low Battery' but this time its not the case. I tried slotting in a thin piece of metal and reseting & turning it on at the same as it recommends to get the internal recovery mode but no joy.
    I can't send an email as I can't find the documents with the purchase date (it was from Amazon) and the serial code; I know it was some time in mid 2007 as I purchased it in my final year of University. Can you guess where that paper-work would be?
    If anyone can give me some ideas of what to do, I would be very grateful! (And I will continue looking for my CD).

  • PC not recognising my Zen disc - HELP!!

    I have Creative ZEN:M 30GB .
    I have had the ZEN software on my pc but after upgrading my pc, the cd drive won't read the CD with the software to reinstall.
    Anyone got any suggestions or where I can download the software?
    Thanks.

    Hi Cat74,

  • Zen Micro not recognized on one PC but is fine with 2 oth

    Before I get totally frustrated with my PC, not the new Zen Micro 6g, what could I be overlooking to get the software and the PC to recognize this unit's This PC has Windows XP (no service packs installed), and after restoring system and reinstalling the software, I have the same problem: I connect the Zen to the USB cable, it says "Found New Hardware" and then proceeds to want to reinstall the software and drivers again from the CD. Naturally, it should have picked up the installed software and drivers but it hasn't.
    On my other 2 PCs, one with Win XP sp2 and the other, my Toshiba laptop with Windows Media Player 2005 Edition, no problems at all. Immediately recognized the player after installation of the software and drivers.
    I am almost at the point of not bothering to install it on the last PC as it works on 2 out of 3 fine but I would like to find out what could possibly be the problem. The two towers are identically set up: same Intel865Perl mbs, same hardware - only difference is the OS.
    I have unistalled and reinstalled, system restored a few times, and I give up.
    Any ideas are appreciated.

    Thanks everyone. Oh, boy, I have a lot to search out, huh? Well, the chipsets are the same. The OS's are different though. I tried the USB from the mb....nothing. I do have an add-in card from Adaptec which is a dual connect card....contains 3 USB ports and 2 firewire ports. Nice card, usually works fine. All my other USB devices such as Canon camera, Sony camera, all work fine from both places. But, it might not like the Zen. Not sure why Zen wouldn't be compatible with an Adaptec USB card but I do know that Windows XP with no service packs does NOT recognize 2.0. just .. And I do get a message that states that I am connect a high-speed device with a non-high speed USB port. If that's the problem, why does it say "Found New Hardware" in the first place? And it does show up in Device Manager when connected, but with the yellow markings. It's listed under "Other Devices", and if I remove it, reboot and reconnect, the same message comes up asking me to install the drivers again.
    I could upgrade this PC but I don't think that is going to make any difference, except that it will recognize the 2.0 USB ports.
    I'm going to keep trying until I get it right. Any other ideas short of giving up?

  • ZEN v Not Recogni

    Hi, well my computer does not recognise my Zen v 2GB with the message "USB Device Not Recognized" when I plug it into a USB port.
    I have the software installed that came with the CD and windows media player does not pick it up.
    Under the device manager the MP3 player is listed as "Unknown Device" and I had tried updating it from there but with no luck.(Also when I right click on it and go to properties then click on "Driver details" it says "No driver files are required or have been loaded to this device" )
    Now this has not always been the case. You see I upgraded my computer (New Motherboard, RAM and CPU) and I had to format it. I have all of the windows drivers installed also other MP3 player devices seem to work one of which is an IPOD and the other is an old mp3 player which both are picked up by windows. I had tried using different USB ports as well but that did not help. Also the mp3 player does switch on but it is on low battery. (And it won?t charge as the icon does not show).
    If someone could help me with this I would appreciate it as I have a long train journey next week.

  • Dv9000 webcam not recognised

    have: dv9000 w/ 1.3 mp camera, W7 Ultimate 64bit
    issue: webcam is not recognised in device manager (imaging device) and not recognised using belarc either. thus no webcam 
    question: is this hardware related i.e. faulty mobo? bad connection from webcam to mobo? what test can i perform to determine the exact cause of having no webcam?
    if a train comes to a stop at a train station then what becomes of work at a workstation?

    Most likely the webcam module up at the top behind the screen bezel has gone bad. Very common. The other scenarios like bad cable are possible, just not likely. The webcam module is so cheap it pays to just buy one and try it first before you pull your hair out with other possible solutions:

  • 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!
