ZEN MICRO WINDOWS VI

Someone told me I have to download a newer Windows XP driver in order to get my Zen Micro to work with Windows Vista. So which one of these XP drivers would I need to download?

Hoping for detailed help w/ Podcast/Zen Micro/ Windows Media 10.

Can someone please outline what steps are necessary for someone with a 5gig Zen Micro & Windows Media 0 to download (specifically) and eventually listen to podcasts on my Zen Micro.
I'm hoping for something like; You need these 3 things.....first you....second you....finally.... (hopefully there are only that many steps!)
If it is already on the board, just a cut and paste response is great....or a link to the conversation.
Thanks very much for your 'non technical'/ 'dummies' style explanation.
Cheers,

Windows Media Player 0 help files are very well done, and perhaps your answer is in there...
But as for folder creation: WMP0 arranges your music as Artist\Album\Song.mp3, doesn't matter how you have it structured on your computer, WMP0 will arrange it like that. If you use Windows Explorer then it will keep the same arrangement as your computer, like you already know.
Despite this arrangement, if you still want WMP0 to make folders on your player then:
Connect the Micro
Open up WMP0
Click on Tools-> Options
Click on Devices tab
Select your player and click Properties
Under the Synchronization tab check the box for Create folder hierarchy on device
As for playlist creation, WMP0 will only transfer playlists using the Auto-sync options. If you select which songs to transfer over then it will not transfer that playlist, just the songs inside it. To make a playlist you will have to use Zen Media Explorer, or whatever program that supports it like Media Source, or even make them manually on the player itself.

Zen micro windows vista dri

my zen is up-to-date firmware 2.2.02?connect it to windows vista 32 bits and windows says it can not find driver?why does this appens since creative says that zen micro is vista compatible.. thanks

electric_abacus,
Unfortunately there is little I can advise in that case, you will need to update to that firmware from an XP machine. Could you do this on a friend or relati've's PC? Or a PC in work/college/school?
rhonjay,
If you select your product in the list, and choose XP as your Operating System, it'll show you the available files. The latest PlaysForSure / MTP-compatible firmware update for the Zen Micro is filename ZenMicroP4S_PCFW_L6_2_2_02.exe
You can enter that filename on the Downloads page search, and it'll bring you right to it.

Zen Micro Windows

Does anyone know if Zen Micro works with Windows 98?

I was just reading on the net that Windows 98SE gives you DVD-ROM support. Lets you watch movies, compared to just Windows 98 which gives you CD-ROM support.
I have a DVD-ROM dri've, so I must have 98SE.
Anyone know how I check if i have 98SE?

Zen Micro/Windows ME Fix

Okay. Being a computer novice and an absolute beginner with MP3 players and such, it took me a LOT of research on the Creative site and message boards to find the solution to the Windows ME/Zen Micro compatability problem.. But, for all of you still having trouble, here it is..
First off, if you purchase a new Zen Micro, it WILL NOT work out of the box with Windows ME But there is hope.. You'll just need to enlist the help of a friend who's running a system on Windows XP..
The problem is that the new version of Zen Micro Firmware 2.X does not work with ME but the older version, ..0 DOES. So the solution is to:
. Install Zen Micro sofware on your friend's XP machine..
2. Connect you Zen Micro to their computer.
3. DOWNLOAD the Zen Mirco .X Firmware from the Creative website. http://us.creative.com/support/downl...e=Windows+98SE
4. Install Firmware on you Zen Micro by running the application that you just downloaded.
5. REINSTALL Zen Micro sofware on your Windows ME machine..
You should be done at this point. As soon as I completed all of these steps, my computer recongnised my Zen Micro and I was able to transfer music files to it..
Good luck to you all..

quote--The Zen Micro's which ship with a v2 firmware should include an "Easy CD", this CD includes the required drivers which Windows ME needs to recognize the player. However you are limited to only using Windows Media Player 9 to transfer your songs. If you have a v firmware then you can use Media Source to transfer the songs.
Still its good advice to find a Windows XP machine and do the firmware change. --/quote??I?couldn't get it to work with the "Easy CD" and Media Player 9 either..Message Edited by GTRMAN on 02-4-2006:52 AM

ZEN MICRO, WINDOWS XP SE VS. WINDOWS XP PROFESIO

My Zen Micro works perfectly on my home computer with windows xp se, but at work the computers have XP pro, when I plug in the USB immediately recognizes the device but when I open the device manager it says the device is not conected.
The Zen Micro also works good with my Xbox 360, I'll appreciate any help you can provide on this issue, I really need to use the micro as a hard dri've since I have to bring work home.
Thank you. :smileyvery-happy:

Y'know, if all you need is to take your work home then you don't even need for the MTP to work.
Just use the UMS mode in your player's Extras menu.
Finally, as far as I know there are no WinXP SE, there are WinXP Home and Pro (where the only complains you'll EVER hear will be for the Home side) and there are WinXP SP / SP2 (which would definitely help...).
The way I see it there must me a hotfix that needs to be installed, thus, installing the files DM suggests HERE would help immensely I would think.
That, or you could simply try using windows update for all critical and software components...
Tell us how it goes.
CheerS!

Sorry: zen micro windows vista driver Proble

my zen is up-to-date firmware 2.2.02?connect it to windows vista 32 bits and windows says it can not find driver?why does this appens since creative says that zen micro is vista compatible.. thanks

my zen micro does not work in vista either. we both bought a crappy product.
I agree, Vista is a disappointing product, considering the time MicroSoft had to work on it. :|
I hope that they'll release a Service Pack soon to address their lack of legacy device support.

Creative Zen Micro: Windows process keeps player b

Hi,
Usually, after synchronizing my player through Windows MP, my Zen Micro goes back to the state where you can select and play songs (so not the state with the two arrows). However, lately, after shutting down WMP it stays in the state with two arrows. Only when I shut down my machine, it returns to the original state, leading me to believe some process must keep the Zen from returing to the operational state.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?
I'm using FW 2..2 on a WinXP machine.
Many thanks in advance.

Yep, that's it basically. I think it's an inherent "problem" (feature?) with MTP. Just make sure no applications are using the player, but that should be obvious.
Its actually the programs fault and its normally Microsoft made ones. It doesnt close off the session with the device so thats why it still keeps it busy.
Real Player does close off the session everytime, and so does MusicMatch, as alternati've programs.
The <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7976db5d-afa4-4dff-83bd-3f83635d2d5b&DisplayLang=en' target=_blank>MTP Porting Kit[/url]. Includes an MTP Monitor utility to see exactly what goes on behind the scenes of every data transaction that your computer and your PlaysForSure device does. Its interesting and I found that Windows Explorer/My Computer and Windows Media Player 0 are the only programs which do not end the session when they are closed.

Zen Micro Windows XP Dri

:smileyindifferent:
:angry:
Any idea where I can get the Creative Micro Zen drivers for Windows XP Home ?
After installing the software using the Installation CD included /w my 2-Zen Micros, it seems like Windows XP Drivers are not included.....
Whan I connect either Zen Micro I get the Found New Hardware - Creative Zen Micro dialog box as expected. After selecting Install Automatically - After a few minutes, a messag appears - Cannot Install this Hardware...
After viewing the Installation CD contents The ONLY files located in \Drivers\English\ directory are:
Drv_Jb3.EXE
DRV_JB.EXE
DRV_NM2.EXE
Seems like these are for Nomad Jukebox products...
Please help !!!!!!!!
Seems like I am another new Zen Micro owner with issues...

I first tried one of the Installation CD's, that started as autorun.... During the install process, numerous error messages appeared... DoInstall fails to launch
H:\CMS\CMS3\CTEngine\setup.inx
H:\CMS\CMS3\CTShared\CTRedist\quddvset\Setup.inx
H:\CMS\CMS3\CTShared\CTredist\Cadi\Setup.inx
... as well as several others...
I then removed Zen Micro Drivers, & Creative MediaSource, via the installation CD, rebooted the PC, and used my second Installation CD... Everything SEEMED to install correctly... (No error messages)
You are insisting that the CD contains the drivers... What is the specific name of the INI file to search for ? If I call Creative Support, will they be able to email me the required files?
Please advise...

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.

Cant use Napster to go and zen micro windows explor

If i want to use my napster to go and have to use firmware --02, but if I want to use zen micro win explorer it wont recog. my device so I have to upgrade to firmware -2-05 erasing all my dl songs from napster....what i want to do is use my zen micro to upload cd's I own and use nap to go, not one or the other.....btw I woke up today and my micro is dead no matter what I try....so let me figure that out now.....should I take this back? my battery life is only like 6hrs!!!....anyway i want to like this so if anyone can help me out?

i see a lot of threads about charging the battery.
i sell high end digital cameras, have for 6 years now. i'm not talking the stuff you find at fry's but the really high end stuff.
this stuff also uses proprietary lithium ion batteries (actually the only thing proprietary is the connectors, all cells come from the same manufacturers)
the key to lithium ion batteries is:
) let it charge overnight the first time you charge it
2) it takes about 3 full charges and full drains to get the proper life out of it
3) they dont have memory, ever. i have several abused lithium ion camera batteries that can attest to this
4) replace after 8 months without fail
my point is, don't stress over it. my micro only got about 7 hours of continous playback with eq on and it just sitting there, and not much more with eq off. the player's life on a single charge and constant crashing when switching off are the only reasons why i returned it on sunday for an ipod mini.

Zen Micro, Windows Media 10 converts MP3 to WMA when copyi

My music files stored on the computer are MP3 encoded at 92kbs. When I copy a track to my Micro, an automatic conversion to WMA format takes place before the track is copied over. Now, in an ideal world I wouldn't mind a conversion to MP3 at 60kbs to save a little space on the Micro, but I would like to know how to control the conversion or not of file formats with Windows media. The Micro is 5gb and has firmware version 2.2.02.

Many thanks. My confusion arose from assuming that WM0 would convert to another MP3 format at 60kbs, but of course this is a WMA file. I presume that if I wish to store my music at a high sampling rate on the computer, but require it to be converted down a couple of notches to transfer to my Micro, this would have to be a seperate process?

Creative Zen Micro & Windows 7

Well, I got one of the older Zens (Copyright 2004), and had it working so I could transfer music to and from my tower. However, I have recently sold that tower, and traded to a laptop. When I try to install the drivers, it will not read, and will not allow me to get the music I have on there (over 500 songs!). I don't want ot have to redo all of my audio library, however it would appear that I cannot access it in anyway.
I have tried the driver updates & installing Creative Zen's player, however it will not allow me to due the the fact that I am on Windows 7 it would appear. Can anyone help me out here? I have somewhere else I want to put my music, just can't get it off the old one.

Hello Gry-fox,
Welcome to Creative forums!

Help! My Zen Micro is detected but not connected to zen media explorer & mediasou

Hi
recently i just bought a creative zen micro at 5 GB. after installing all the drivers and programs using the installation CD that came with my player, I connected my player through the USB cable to my pc USB root hub.
an auto-detect of my zen micro window pops up at the righthand corner, prompting me to click 'organize' in the creative media source. clicking the organize option, mediasource program starts but while it is loading the music library, an error message: CTCMS, The program has performed a illegal operation......etc.
i tried disconnecting my player followed by opening the media source prog and connecting my player after that. another error message: file operation failed. please ensure that your player is properly connected.
I'm using windows 98 SE on an AMD processor. i was able to use the removable disk mode of my player to store data from pc. However when comes to the media mode of my player, it is shown as not connected status in the zen micro media explorer and in the creative media source program, it's either shown as not properly connected or illegal operation when loading music library from my player. in addition, under the device manager, the creative zen micro driver is shown as working properly. i was also able to upgrade my firm ware to version .02.05. using my pc to connect to my player. However, even before upgrading the firmware, this problem is already present. i have contacted the creative technical support helpdesk for advise on this issue and they have suggested to me various solutions such as checking my drivers if they are updated, reinstalling the drivers and software applications for the media library, installing jet engine service pack for my windows and the MDAC component but still nothing works.
anyone have any suggestions? pls help
thanks

Hi,
Sorry I can't help you. I just wanted to let you know I have the same exact problem. It started three days ago and I've been going back and forth with creative support and nothing has worked. I am beginning to grow really distressed. I feel a little better now because after seeing that it's happening with someone else, it is most likely not the player. I am running windows 98 SE as well. I also have an AMD Duron processor. I have a new computer on the way with windows XP I really hope it works. But now I have a new problem. I listed it on the front page of this forum a few minutes ago. My player froze and now only boots up in rescue mode. I am getting so frustrated with my player. If you figure anything out will you be as kind as to send me a message on how you got your player working again? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Nick

New Zen Micro is detected by windows but not software - I have NOT done firmware upda

Hi, I just bought a brand new Zen Micro. The software installation went fine.
After plugging in the unit to my USB port, a message appears on the windows taskbar saying "Nomad Jukebox 2/3/Zen Detected".
I would assume this is the normal message. I then attempt to transfer files via Creative Mediasource. Howerver when I load up the creative mediasource software, I get an error message saying "Player is not connected". Naturally of course the Zen Micro is indeed connected. I can not transfer any files and the player locks up.
I have not updated the firmware or anything, it is a fresh out of the box brand new unit. I run Windows mediaplayer 0, windows XP (SP).
Is there a way to resolve this issue, or am I doing something wrong?
Please help a new zen micro user thanks in advance!

I also Just, few hours back fully charged my Micro and got it working. I downlaoded the latest firmware released in Feburary. But i decided il only use it if something was wrong with the player. Mine went smooth....
Fully charged it while installing the software on the CD, unplugged the AC, I didn't sue the White USB cable it came with (lots of people say tis crap) So i sued my Sony Digicam USB cable which is always connected to my pc anyway.
Plugged my player into the USB cable while the player was On.
Done.... Windows Xp Pro detected it, 2 icons in My Computer popped up, One was the shortcut to the media source software and one was the player itself kinda liek a removable dri've.
My firmware is .0.30 and opening Widnows Media player 0, and hit Synch Tab, my player responded, and said Docked. And within 5 minutes most of my music was on....
I dotn get how some othe rpeoples players are playign up so much.
Maybe only people who have problems ever post so it seems like everyones having a problem. lol
Oh and i would recommend not to do a firmware update unless soemthings wrong wiht ur player. I wont risk it if i were you.
