Zen Micro Radio Problems -No Sou

I just bought a Zen Micro with the .0.03 firmware. It works fine playing mp3's but when I try the radio I hear nothing. Tried using autoscan and it picks up a bunch of frequencies that I know are not radio stations and I hear nothing on them either.
I upgraded to the new firmware (.02.05) but still no joy.
The radio worked once for about a second when I was trying to tune in stations, but that was only a short blast of static, the rest of the time its just quiet even with volume turned right up.
What gives?

ya just changed a sennheiser ear piece and it seem abit shorter than creative orginal ones..
and some stations becomes hissing....
as I know the FM antenna is the wire of ur earpiece.
but have to give and take , cos sennhesier earpiece sound more better....

Zen Micro radio prob

My Zen Micros radio doesn't work at all. When I try to listen to it there is no sound at all. Does anybody know why?

Just a thought - have you tried tapping the play/pause button to take it out of the "presets" mode? Mine is perfectly silent when in preset mode with no preset set. Tapping the pause button allows you to toggle to scan or tune via the forward/back buttons.

Zen Micro Radio Recept

I have a zen micro, and I have to say I love it. I get almost 4 hours out of the batteries. I have had no problems whatsoever. My only thing is the radio reception. I know that it generally sucks, but I made a discovery last night. With any headphones I used, the reception was bad. When I plugged a Bose headphones extender into it the receptio jumped to almost perfect. It would seem that the reception is directly related to the length of the headphone cord. Has anyone else expireinced this?
Blade

I love in vancouver Canada, and im using the stock creative headphones and i so far have had no problem with the radio what so ever. although the sound does become fuzzy if i go into lower levels of the mall but that is just a minor thing to me.

Creative Zen Micro 6GB/Problems with Power Switch and Firmw

The power switch on my Zen Micro has died. I can't turn it on or off unless I 'jump start' it from a USB cable and leave it alone to go into idle shutdown. I've had this player just three weeks and this is happened and frankly I'm disgusted. But wait, my story get's worse:
So before sending it back to Creative I thought that I should at least exhaust every possible cure. First on my list? A Firmware upgrade to v2.22.05. I downloaded the program and set about installing the new firmware but halfway through the process it hung and I had to end it prematurely. Now what I had was a ZM that apparently had v2.22.05 but was not being recognised at all by my computer. Media Explorer wasn't picking up on it and neither was WMP although strangely when I connect the device it's there in the Device Manager...
So, check back with the website and it said to download an update for Mediasource and that should solve the problem. Downloaded the patch but then realised that I hadn't installed Mediasource on my computer (can't remember why I didn't though). Went back to the downloads page and downloaded Mediasource. Tried to install it but I can't. The reason? because my computer isn't detecting the ZM and I can't install it until it recognises that it's there.
As a last resort I thought that I would try to use 'Rescue Mode'. Seemed simple enough, remove the battery and hold down the power switch. Then put the battery back in and wait for the rescue screen to come up. Seems easy enough. Oh wait, I don't have a working power switch.
What I do have though, is a small piece of plastic and metal that I can't turn on, can't turn off, can't put any songs on, can't listen to, can't fix and can't be bothered with. I have a ?60 paperweight.
Anyone at all have any idea what I should do? I just want to put it all in a box and send it back to Amazon with a request for a full refund or a threat to take them to the Small Claims Court.

Although a failed power switch is not unknown, I only recall seeing two or three other cases of this. It's not common.
If WMP isn't working with the device having v2 firmware something is wrong. Unfortunately this can be difficult to fix, but take a look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.
MediaSource won't detect the player if there's some issue e.g. WMP0 not detecting it. You can of course also try installing Zen Micro Media Explorer (Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update to be specific) which has MTP support.
Are you are presumably under guarantee, and as you bought from an Internet store, it's best to return it direct to Creative. Contact Creative Support to arrange this.

Windows Vista vs Zen Micro: Software Problems

Hey guys,
Looking for a little help and this seems to be the right place to get, lots of helpful people!I have a 3 year old Zen Micro, 4/5Gb I think and it worked fine with my old Dell laptop which ran XP, I used to drag and drop mpg files easily with the bundled software, all was well. Back in January the Dell laptop reached the end of it's life and I layed my hands on a new Sony Vaio laptop, running the all singing, all dancing brand new shiney Windows Vista. For whatever reason, I had no need for the MP3 player for most of this this summer and now I've come to need it again and it obviously needs updating (all my music is 6 months out of date) and it seems I've lost the original software disc, bummer. So I downloaded the ZenCast Organiser & Sync software off the Creative site as it said it ran withVista and plug in the Micro and .........nothing.
The Sync manager thing just says that there's no player attatched and it won't hook up. Am I missing something? Do I need another driver for it'sor something I've had a look through this site and all. I seem to be able to find is what I've already downloaded. Help!

ow stupid is this though! Why aren't Creative releasing any updates to allow older players to work on new machines?!
Well they are releasing updates, the trouble is you need the old OS to apply them. I suspect there's technical reasons for updates not working on newer OS's. After all Creative couldn't anticipate Vista problems when making older devices (Vista wouldn't have been on hand to test at the time).
BTW Firmware upgrades can be found here (UK version)
or here. (US)

Zen Micro Driver Problem

Hey guys,
I have a 6GB Zen Micro and I'm able to view it in My Computer. I can manually drag-and-drop music files onto the device through "My Computer" but I am unable to copy my music onto my computer.
I've tried installing all drivers for my device to no avail. I've heard that there's a problem with Windows Media and that you have to rollback to 0, but I'm using RealPlayer.
I'm using these drivers:
Creative ZEN and Jukebox Driver 2.0.00 (.86 MB)
Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03 (.3 MB)
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Tom

If you are running Windows 98 SE . . .
Windows 98 SE does not recognize the Zen Micro until its Windows 98 SE
drivers and firmware are installed and that has to be done on a machine running
XP (or one of the other newer operation systems.)
Once I enstalled its Windows 98 SE drivers and firmware via a machine running
XP, my machine - running Windows 98SE - had no problems recognizing it or its
software.
PS.
If you download upgrades from Creative's site make sure that you are
downloading programs that are for Windows 98 SE (there is an operating
system field - make sure it says Windows 98 SE.) Those drivers and firmare
will need XP for installation but will be recognized by a machine running
Windows 98 SE after they are installed. There is no need for XP with the
application software - they will install on Windows 98 SE without problems.

Zen Micro installation problem - file "data2.cab" neede

Hey
Trying to install my Zen micro software when it says, " Please insert dist that contains the file data2.cab"
I have the installation CD so why is file not on it'sDan

It might be a problem with the CD, but it sounds an odd error to get.
You can of course download the latest drivers and software from the download page for your player, so this is probably the best workaround as well as getting the latest software.

Zen Micro Headphone Problem: How long does it ta

Hi all,I took my Zen Micro Unit (purchased March 2005) back to the place of purchase today, so that it could be submitted for service to correct the Headphone Jack problem. I was wondering how long it will take now before the unit is either repaired or replaced, as I am already suffering from withdrawal symptoms... I'm missing my music ? Please, anyone who has had this service performed by Creative, let me know:
a) whether the unit can be repaired or is just replaced, </LI>
b) if the unit is to be replaced can I be assured that the problem won't occur again</LI>
c) how long will it take to receive some kind of notification from Creative?</LI>
Cheers,Brett

how long will it take to receive some kind of notification from Creative?
Since you took it back to the store for the repair, you should contact the store for the updates info. I don't think creative will contact you regarding the repair.Reason, simple. Cos it's the store(directly) that return the player to them and not you. and not creative since they won't know who send those player back except it's from the store.
if the unit is to be replaced can I be assured that the problem won't occur again
No one in the world can assure you this cos there's no 00% unbreakable products
whether the unit can be repaired or is just replaced,
Most likely replaced and not repair according to the majority of the post here.

ZEN MICRO detection problems / recognition problems 9

For the life of me I can't figure this out. My brother bought a Zen micro a few days ago and we tried to install it but the comp WILL detect the ZM but will not/can not find a driver. Thus "?!Creative Zen Micro" appears in the Device manager under "? Other Devices" but will not work. Have read and tried alot, but nothing. Using an old Celeron 900MHz with Windows 98SE. Did many fresh installs from install disk....but nothing. Even tried a diff USB cable (though longer) and diff USB port....but nothing. The comp detects the Zen Micro (as named above) but is unable to find the drivers eventhough when requested I direct the detection to the Install disk for any drivers it may contain. Any knowledge shared would be appreciated.Message Edited by microscan on 02-06-2006 06:40 AM

I tried those before but just for good measure I just now again tried them. Nothing has changed. Still detecting but not recognizing/no driver. I forgot to mention last time that even when I try to open the program "Creative System Information" (by clicking on "Start", "Programs", "Creative") I get "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down." When I click on details of this Ctsi problem window I get this:
CTSI caused an invalid page fault inmodule CTSI.EXE at 067:0042d273.Registers:EAX=0c6804 CS=067 EIP=0042d273 EFLGS=000026EBX=7f832e2 SS=06f ESP=0e6fdd0 EBP=0e6fdd8ECX=00000005 DS=06f ESI=0c68000 FS=d7EDX=00000000 ES=06f EDI=0c67fa0 GS=0000Bytes at CS:EIP:f3 a5 ff 24 95 88 d3 42 00 8b c7 ba 03 00 00 00 Stack dump:0c67fd0 00000000 0e6fe4 0040fac5 0c67f70 0c67fd0 00000044 0040fa3a 0c67fd0 000000c 0c66d0 0e6fe40 0e6fe0 00000002 000000c 0c66d0

Need Help Urgently Zen Micro "Firmware Problem&qu

Hello,
I've had my Zen Micro for a year now and due to a "screw up" when i start my player it displays the error "Firmware Problem" and start up in recovery mode. When I try to reload the firmware the update application on my pc it says "Your player is not connected" now can I fix this so I can start using my wonderful Zen again?
PC Specs If needed: Windows Media Center Service Pack 2

Thanks for the reply, but that firmware download doesn't work for me. As I said in my original post, my player is not recognized as being connected when it is. It is not my computer because Jukebox opens up when it detects the device and it is listed among my removable hardware.
I've downloaded the software, but nothing happens after the "select your language" prompt. It just says "Your player is not connected please connect your player" with a grayed out 'Upgrade' button and a darkened 'Close' button. I've tried unplugging and reconnecting the USB, but it still doesn't recognize that it's there.
Anyone else have an idea?Message Edited by lizzievee on 02-04-2007:29 AM

Zen Micro Photo problem

Hey, everyone. The problem is My Zen Micro Photo seems to automatically lock itself on and off constantly. The lock symbols keeps flashing in the top right hand corner. This?happens when it isn't actually switched to lock and when i'm trying to turn the volume up or down. Sometimes when I'm trying to switch it off it happens aswell. Anyone else have this problem? And can anyone help?

Bump.

Zen Micro Photo Problems- Please He

Hi all, I have enjoyed my zen micro photo for the past year with relati'vely little problem, but recently when i plug the zen in, it won't light up nor charge and seems like the computer didn't even know it's plugged in. Another serious problem is that if i do get it to charge, after i remove the zen from the computer, it won't turn back on! and it also keeps shutting down by itself if the heaven was merciful that day and the zen managed to turn on. Any solutions? Please help me!

what error message to you get, does the micro think its detected, is it charging and all that. that firmware will let the computer detect the player in the same way as your old one.
have u looked in device manager to see if its a problem device?
basic suggestion try to work out where the problem lies, test it on another usb cable, another usb port another computer. try and find out where the problem lies, then its easier to help.
regards olly
