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.

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.

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.

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 and Vista? - Sol

I am trying to get my Zen Micro (DAP-MD0004) to work with Vista to no avail. It is loaded with the latest firmware (PlaysForSure - I dont think so!!!) and Vista picks it up and installs the driver no problem.However, if I try to view music through My Computer it doesnt show anything. Windows Media Player doesnt work either because its WMP. The sync windows just keeps saying to connect a device. I have installed Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer with plugin and even though it picks up my Zen, when I try to view my music it doesnt respond and I have to kill it.Has anybody got any advice for me I have already searched the forums for Zen Micro and Vista and I have found nothing to help me. Is Creative looking into the problem of people not being able to put music onto their devices

I have finally got it to work.Here is what I did for anyone that is having the same problem:
Boot the Zen to Recovery Mode (Remove battery, hold switch in on position, and insert battery)
Run a Clean Up
Run a Format
Reboot
Install Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer with PlaysForSure Plugin
Connect Zen Micro to computer and run MediaSource
You should now be able to copy music from your computer to your Zen.
I am disappointed that I couldn't copy my music off the device first but hey-ho.
I am also disappointed that the latest version of MediaSource requires you to purchase a pack to convert music to MP3.
It never fails to amaze me what businesses will do to try and get more money from us consumers.

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 <i>Create folder hierarchy on device</i>
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 and Vista - I can't install my Zen! Please he

I have a Zen Micro that I bought back in 2004 and have been running it with no problems whatsoever on my old Windows 2000 machine. I have just bought a new computer with Windows Vista, and I can't get Vista to successfully install the Zen software or recognise my Zen. Every time I attach the unit to my computer I get the "found new hardware" message, and Vista asks me to supply the software that came with the unit. When I insert the CD, the computer scans if for a bit,?then says it can't find the drivers and aborts the installation. Any hints / tips on getting Vista to recognis my Zen Micro?Thanks in advance!

I experienced the same problems in Vista with 2 different Zen Micros on firmware 2.2.02. I tried everything and then when I tried another Vista computer it WORKED right away! This made me sure that it was the Vista computer and nothing else. All that happens is the Vista computer tries to look on Windows Update and doesn't find the drivers so prompts you to insert the install disc. Those not connected to the Internet at the time don't have the problem.
SOLUTION:
When prompted to insert the install disc all you need to do is the following:
Click "Show Other Options"
Choose to look in a folder on the computer
Enter c:\Windows
Wait for it for find the driver, thats IT! This also worked for my external DVD-RW which had the same problem.
Happy Zen'ing!

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 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?

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!

Creative zen touch & windows vista 32 bit

Can anyone tell me which Firmware or software I need to install so that I can get my mp3 player working again. Have Windows Vista 32 bit, and Creative Zen Touch with about 5 gigs worth of music on, which is now stuck on it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in the same boat as you. I have a zen neeon. Tried running the program, all the set up prompts seem to work, but the program is nowhere to be found after "installation".
I don't want to have to buy another player, seeing this one has 200 songs in it. (which is nothing compared to your 5 gigs!Would be a real pain in the ar$e.

ZEn Micro and Vista Help Plea

Ok I have searched but anyways so I have a ZEN Micro and I just bought a new laptop that happens to have Vista on it. I know I need to update the firmware on my player to get Vista to recognize it, the thing is that I recently moved across the country and my XP machine is at one end of the US and me and my Vista are at another end so is there anyway for me to do this without needing an XP machine please say yes because I really dont want to buy a new players just because I can load a driver *frustration* any solution?

No, you can't must be Xp & WMP0 only to update firmware. What firmware version is on the player now? You might be able to use it on a Vista but you will only be able to drag & drop to it. No playlists, no syncing. Ask around somone where you are may have a XP computer. Maybe a computer repair shop?
