  • Zen Micro Startup Screen Customizatio

    Maybe someone can help me with a small problem I'm having:
    I recently bought a Zen Micro mini and am quite impressed. Operation and quality has been great aside from one thing I'm having trouble with - I can't change the startup image via Creative Mediasource (or any other way for that matter).
    The only help topics I've found on the subject give the size of the bitmap, but that's about it... I've been creating B&W 8 bit bmps at proper size that don't work.
    Anyone willing to offer a 2 second tutorial or formatting suggestions?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure on the dimensions, but I'm fairly sure it needs to be 2 bit i.e. monochrome.

  • Zen Micro: STARTUP FRE

    Well....once again my Zen Micro has frozen upon startup, sometimes freezing at the animation screen, creative screen, or whatever. I have looked throughout the topics and notice this is a very common issue. I have had the problem for a while, and I'm starting to get quite ticked off, to be honest.
    Has Creative even acknowledged this problem? If not, I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME.
    Is there a real fix BESIDES formatting!?
    This seemingly blatant disregard is horrible. I'm starting to think I should have just stuck with an Ipod and followed the masses. Ironically, I received an Ipod as a gift, however I told my father (who gave this gift to me) I'd rather have a Zen Micro. I did not want to have something everyone else had, and I wanted to give the "underdog" mp3 player company a chance. Seems like that decision did me over.
    I would really like to see a SOLID response regarding this problem, possibly even by a CREATIVE employee...or am I asking for too much?

    DM wrote:The problem lies in the hard dri've. IMO, Seagate made many faulty ST hard dri'ves and shipped them to players which use them such as the Zen Micro. Its unfortunate that this had to happen but it doesn't affect all the Zen Micros and its unsure of when those dri'ves were manufactured and sold.
    Without evidence to back this up though it's hard to be sure. Creative have sold millions of players, and I certainly don't see thousands or even hundreds of repeated posts here with this problem.

  • Zen Micro Startup Scr

    dfoes anyone kno how to change the startup grapic on the zen micro? What versions of the programs and firmware do i need?

  • Zen micro startup picture and EAX setti

    Zen micro has a possibility to change the startup picture, doesn't it's In the creative mediasource there is an option Change the startup picture (below EAX settings) but it's not acti've, I mean you can't do anything with it. I would love to change the Creative animation for something else but I don't know how, it's just the same with the EAX settings.

    No, you can't change the startup screen on the Micro. It is greyed out in MediaSource, because this software is also used for players that CAN change the startup screen.
    And indeed, as bloodangel05 says, the Micro has no EAX

  • Zen touch startup screen cha

    I have a Creative Zen Touch and recognised that in Nomad Explorer, I could go into 'Settings' and there was a part where it says to change the Startup Screen image. I clicked on it and chose a picture that was the required size (60x04) and it doesn't come up when I turn my Zen on. Any help? Thanks...

    thats right it's not supported on the touch

  • Zen Micro Startup

    Hello Im new to the group
    I have a 5GB zen micro. When I start it up it starts from the song I was last playing. Is there anyway to make it startup or load to the main menu instead of the last played song?
    Thanks
    Firmware ..0

    The longer start time is a result of the Micro waking up from "deep sleep." It does this after 4 or 24 hours of inactivity, depending no which firmware you have.

  • Creative Zen Micro (Startup Failure) Need URGENT he

    Hi, i was on holiday in Singapore about 2 weeks ago, and i bought myself a Creative Zen Micro from one of the local sho
    ps.
    It worked fine, music played brilliantly, i was happy. However, today when i turned it on, it would display the 'CREATIVE COPYRIGHT' Screen, then followed by 'CREATIVE' in large letters across the screen. It would then freeze on this screen, and the off/on button would soon become useless, which meant that i could either leave it on and kill the battery, or take it out.
    When i took the battery out and in again, it would repeat with the 'CREATIVE' sign. Following the 'recovery' methods, i managed to load the screen with all the different options such as clean-up, etc etc. However, when i load any of them up, it would freeze once again and i would end up taking the battery out again.
    I have tried the reset button with a pin but that doesnt do anything. I have a spare battery that does exactly the same too. My computer doesnt detect the Zen btw.
    I have important documents and almost my lifetime's supply of music that took me almost weeks to rip and store into that Zen. Now that its basically dead, and i bought it in Singapore, i have basically no warranty, i feel as if i have been throwing cases of money into the toilet. I need urgent help, if theres any other ways of restoring access to my Zen.
    Check the reviews on a respectable site like amazon.com: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-Zen-Micro-6GB-Player/dp/B000AMR76S
    After browsing around forums over the internet, I have found many other people complaining about this, which makes it a MAJOR flaw in the Creative Zens. Screw petty chargers and plugs, get the software right.

    The problem you have is very simple, yet complicated to be solved. Your zen's hard dri've is dead. Most of the people who own a zen don't know it has a hard dri've inside. Some mp3 players have flash memory. Chances are that you've dropped your mp3 player. Zen's hard dri'ves are very sensiti've and must not be moved around too much. The way to go in this case is to replace the hard dri've. It is actually a micro hard dri've what you need. Seagate ST 5GB MicroDri've CF Type II. Once you have a new Hd installed you can format it using the zen's menu (remove the battery, hold the power button, place the battery in and wait untill you see the menu) This requires some experience formatting HD's and installing firmware. There is another option. You can buy a Patriot 4Gb Compact Flash Card, and follow what I've described above. The good thing about this is that your zen will take more vibration than the original. The bad one is tha those range from $70 - 99. I hope this hel

  • ZEN micro startup l

    i have a quyestion, but first of all, sorry for my english...
    when i turn on my zen micro, it appears the zen micro logo (after the creative and the animated), but, for a moment, a group of pixels dissapears. i have the latest firmware version (.). is that normal? what can i do?
    please, if you dont understand the problem, let me know and i?ll try to explain it better.
    thanks for your help!!!

    Do you mean that the logo is corrupted and distorted or that some of it goes away? Ever since I installed the firmware you mentioned half of the logo will disappear and my player will either start to work or a song will begin to play followed by the zen micro stalling.

  • Zen Micro startup prob

    Working fine for a while and no problem but all of a sudden simply cannot get my Micro to start. All that happens is hard disk can be heard shuffling about and the unit produces a repeating series of nine pathetic bleeps (descending in tone).
    Goes into Rescue mode but nothing happens on any of the commands apart form the blee
    ps.
    Anything to be done other than send it back? Seems pretty hopeless to me

    I have also experienced startup problems and it seems to be a hard dri've problem. Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes to boot and I hear the sound of the hard dri've thrashing about. Although it does take a long time, it usually does not freeze. It froze only about three times on startup. When this happens I take the battery out and try again. (FYI- when I inquired with Creative about a reset button the reponse I received instructed me the reset was to take the battery out).Message Edited by lilmightybull on 04-9-2005 2:24 AM

  • Zen Micro Crashes on low batt

    I purchased my Zen Micro 5gig last May, and had no problems til January, when while listening the battery went to 0 bars and froze and wouldn't turn off. Took the battery out and it would start, but would freeze on the main screen. I cam on here for advice and I ended up having to reformat. It was running fine since then, and I finally managed to get most of my lost songs back on. And then today, the battery was running low, so I decided to charge it from the computer while listening. I had bar left, was listening fine, hit the pause for a second, and have since not been able to do anything. It appears frozen on that screen. All the buttons still make a sound when hit, but it won't lock or turn off, and appeared to still be charging. After about 45mins the screen went blank, and will now not turn on and will not charge through USB. It was updated with new firmware in Feb. So I was wondering if other experience this problem. What should I do to get it to turn back on? Is it a bug with mine? Do you think I will have to reformat and loose all my files again? :-(?Thanx for your help

    agrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    so last night, i installed the latest firmware and did the disc cleanup.
    this morning, the zen micro crashed/froze again!!
    - turned it on
    - creative splash screen (this screen now scares me)
    - zen micro splash screen... frozen, started playing song then became bzzzzzzzzzz sound
    - removed battery
    - started back up in recovery mode
    - did disc cleanup
    - rebooted
    - creative screens again
    - rebuilding library
    worked after that. of course i had to add all the songs back into the now playing.
    if i'm going to have to do this all the time, then i'm going to start to regret buying this player.
    will reformating the disc help?
    do creative techs ever visit this forum?

  • Zen Micro is frozen, Rescue mode not availa

    Aurgh. I've had my Zen Micro since October, and it's worked well up until today. I went to power it on and it would boot up just to the Zen Micro splash screen, where it stayed. I couldn't power it off using the power button so I took the battery out several times. Each time I put it back the Micro would boot to the Zen Micro screen, but wouldn't go any further. Finally, I read how to put the player in Rescue Mode. When I boot up after taking the battery out and with the power button held, it does the exact same thing. No Rescue Mode is available, no other menu comes up.
    Any ideas on how to resolve? I really don't want to send this back to Creative for repair.
    Thanks-
    Jennifer Portnick

    Not sure if this is even possible (if it won't start up under any circumstance), but have you tried updating to the newest firmware?
    http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp
    Download ZenMicro_PCFW_LB__02_05_PDE.exe.
    Connect your player to your computer.
    Double-click (filename).
    Choose your language.
    Click the Upgrade button and follow the instructions that appear.</LI>

  • Zen micro Freezes at startup screen.... not go

    well here is the story, i got my zen micro in feburary, and it worked good for about 3 weeks then i got that headphone jack problem, RMA'd it and got a new one
    This new ZM wroks awesome, or it did until about 3 days ago, i tryed starting it up and it froze at the startup screen. i did the recovery mode numerous times tryed to upgrade the firmware and did everything, but nothing worked. Now im a bit angry because since the 60 day period is over i acually need to wait for creative to repair my ZM, and i just dont have time for that!!! on the 29th im leaving to new york, and then the 3rd im leaving for london and wont be back until 8th! but what will be my source of music then?!? this really angers me as i was looking very forward to listening to my mp3 player on the plane rides, at this point i ran outta options. Any help from any of the staff members or members in general as to how to solve this problem or even fix my ZM without ending it back

    robtbomb: As per the FAQ, if rescue mode isn't working properly then the player is faulty. All you can do is contact support, perhaps by telephone to expedite matters, and see if they can return the player as a priority.

  • Creative Zen Micro freezes at startup with Creative logo on screen

    Sorry for the long topic name, but it anoys me when people just say help, or pls help me! for topic names (Because I have no idea what they want). I tried the firmware update, and cleanup, but even though I only have about 527MB on it, (Just got it yesterday) it takes until the battery runs out to do any of the tasks in that mode, except reboot. Also, when I try plugging it into my comp, the comp acts as if nothing is plugged in. I check my computer, and it isnt even there! Please help, cause I just got it, and because I really dont want to return this thing. (The only thing stopping me from going ipod)

    Did you try a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.

  • Startup Screen on Zen Mi

    if you go to the creative explorer, and click on the settings, button, then the settings tab, there is an option to change the start-up screen, but the "change" button is always unavailable. is it possible to change the splash screen on the zen micro? or is creative just teasing

    eriknba,
    No, you can't change the startup screen of the zen micro player. MediaSource is used for most of our range of MP3 player and not just zen micro so that feature is there to cater to player that support that feature such as the Zen Xtra, Zen NX, etc.
