ZEN MicroPhoto LCD prob

I bought a ZEN MicroPhoto in the beginning of May and now the LCD is having a problem. The screen is fading or such from the left. Some parts or letters or numbers that are usually white are turning red and the left side of the screen is darkening for some reason. The whole screen is slowly darkening and fading. It was fine one day and then the next morning I noticed that the left side of the screen was darker than the right. It got worse later through the day and I think I'll return it to Circuit City or such and get a new one, unless someone has a better suggestion for me.

microphoto uses oled screen not lcd. well for some reason oleds are cheap there better than lcd in someways but suck in others. uhh it could be that you got a fualty display id get it replaced or try the sleek photo. same price.

If I use my computers usb to charge it shows a lighing icon when it is charging and when it is charged you see a Plug telling you its charged.However if i use the charge i was sold at the time you dont get the plug telling you it is chagred. If I buy the zen micro charger does it show a fork telling me its charged fully?

Zen Microphoto dll prob

Hi, I just received a new Zen Microphoto as a gift from a family member. Im liking it so far, but I have a big problem. I can't install any creative software on my computer because I keep getting an error saying "Unable to load CTCabEx.dll" and then the install either stops, or finishes without anything being installed.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

I tried that and had no luck. What I did was create a new profile with admin privilages (xp home) and rebooted. I logged in as the new user and closed all the programs that were open that I was able to. When I tried to install the program I still got the can't load dll error.
then try if u have clogging sofwtare like a messenger or something else u can try.
I don't understand what you mean by this.

ZEN MICROPHOTO crashing prob

Well I have my zen for about 6 months now, it's a pretty good player, but a month or two ago it started crashing. I usually put it in my pants pocket and when I touch it or grab it it simply turns of as if the battery is removed. Is it because the cold weather outside or something else like static electricity?

Zen MicroPhoto sound prob

Hello
I am currently on my third zen micro in a year and am having a problem with the sound. This happened on the first zen micro that i purchased last october. The sound has stopped working for one of the ears. I checked the headphones and they are fine.. so once again i am stuck with a defecti've zen micro product. I would like to know if any one else has experienced this problem, and if so, how did they go about fixing it!. Customer service is taking WAY too long to get back to me.
Thanks
Alli

Sorry about that
I am talking about the Microphoto. I had the same problem with the micro back in the fall of last year and got a replacement for it (another micro).. and then when that broke in the spring i upgraded to the photo.. and i believe i'm having another jack problem..
what do you think?I checked out the lengthy thread about the jack problem. I can't believe so many ppl experienced that. Well all of my friends that own one have had the same problem and got replacements..
Thanks
Alli

Creative Zen MicroPhoto startup prob

I've recently started experincing this problem where my MicroPhoto will startup automatically. After realizing that it has turned on, I put it on hold after turning it off, yet it still turns on. This happened multiple times the same day and reoccurs randomly. If anyone can help me out, I would appreciate it.

Creative Zen Micro battery prob

I experienced this at least one time last Monday coming home on the bus turning on my Zen. The battery was completely dead! And I have charged fully the night before. Now I didn't take it with me yesterday because it was raining and I didn't want it wet, and the battery was fully charged the night before yesterday. Now I get home today and I hook-up my Zen to the computer to add some music and I notice that it's completey dead and charging from the "nothingness" of the battery. Whats the problem?

Take out the battery, hold the on/off switch in the on position while inserting the battery.
Do you leave your headphones plugged in to player?

Zen Micro - Battery prob

Hi, i got a problem with the micro battery i charged the battery but only after 3 hours 2 battery lines have decreased, why the battery empty itself so fast? (sorry for my bad english)

Frost wrote:Hello, I've got a question for You. On the main page is written that Zen Micro has 2-hours Battery Life, but mine is low after 6 hours !!! I've made what was recommended about battery but nothing has changed, ( worksh longer....thats all !! ) Is it general in Zen Micro, or only my product is faulty ? I hope You write me soon.
(Here I am!)
Frost: There's lots of information on this in the FAQ post. If you aren't getting the full life then something is different in your setup to the test specification, which is 28kbit/s CBR MP3s with no EQ, Smart Volume etc.

Zen Neon Battery Prob

My zen Neon 5gb does not seem able to take a charge. When connected to the PC the screen shows the connection but one battery light remains on
When I disconnect and press play the dead battery notice appears on the screen
I would like some advice on opening the player ( i know it invalidates my warranty) as I feel the battery may need replacing
Any help appreciated
Sean

I am having the same problem. My zen will allow me to load up enough battery power to take me to the first couple of screens but then 2 or 3 minutes later it dies again. Im not sure in my case if it doesnt have anything to do with using it in different countries. I bought my player in Australia and am currently using it in the UK.Please someone help!!! I want to listen to my music before i move on to another country!!!
