Zen Nano Plus ERROR CODE -6

Hi
Have just got a Nano plus for christmas and now trying to set up the creative cd rom software.
But I keep getting an installShield Wizzard Error it asks me to do the following
-close any running programs (none open)
- Empty your tempory internet folder (empty)
- Check your internet connection (broadband always on)
then try to run the Setup again
have tried to do this a few times but no joy have downloaded MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250 but it's the same problem.
Could the reason be that i also have iRi'ver plus on the computer (other half's Mp3 player)?
I can download music via Windows media player 0 but If I want to download an update will I need this software?
Can anyone help
Thanks in advance
Niki
:smileytongue:

nikiyoung: Installshield or Demoshield? The FAQ only covers a problem with Demoshield.
The software isn't that important. The player will appear as a device in Windows Explorer, and you drag and drop files to it.
The software gives two advantages () it can rip files (but so can a lot of other software) (2) it has a "Smartfit" feature which allows you to compress files further to squeeze onto the player.

  • WTF? Zen Nano Plus/Error with Ripping to portable dev

    I have ripped a cd to WMA and now have it in my PC music library. Now that it is converted, I want to drag it to my Nano Plus. Oddly enough, only some go through complete, others have an error. I have deleted and tried to rip and move song by song as well as the whole cd... What am I doing wrong?
    Please help this noob out Thanks for your time.
    Here is an screenshot....

    darklotus,
    Did you transfer all the audio files to the root directory? Try creating folder in the player and transfer those audio files to the folder instead.

    Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for the administrator account; for other users the message "The Zen Nano Plus is not connected. Please connect your Zen Nano Plus to the computer." is displayed, but it *is* connected and works under other programs.

    How exactly do you do this? I checked this out tonight - when I logged onto my PC using my son's Limited User account (XP Home, BTW) I could connect his N200 and see it in Device Manager and Windows Explorer but both Creative pieces of software (CMS and N200 Media Explorer) did not see that it was there!
    I tried setting the Run As... properties for the CTMS.exe file to run as one of the Admin user accounts but kept getting an error about being unable to find a specific file (which is in the Media Explorer folder!). When I went back to using the current user the error stopped. Perhaps I need to set the Run As.. options on that file as well?
    As we don't use DRM'd music this isn't going to be a problem but it would be good to find out the cause of this once and for all.
    I'm going to see if WMP0 has problems as well or if it's just the Creative ap

  • Zen Nano Plus - can't move music to it all of a sud

    My daughter has had a Zen Nano Plus for about 4 months - no problems up to now. She wanted to put some new music on it, and no matter what we try, we get an error - Transfer error - an error has occurred while transferring this file. I've tried it using a variety of software as well as drag and drop. We just bought my other daughter the identical player, and I can move music to hers with no problem - so it's not the computer or the connection. Any ideas? The player works fine with the music that's on it. Any ideas, or is it RMA time? Thanks!

    Hi. What sounds like the same problem has happened to me my first time using the player. It's basically behaving as if it's full, when there is over 6MB of free space left. I read a thread on Amazon (from where I bought the player) and apparently this is a common problem with the Zen nano plus, so Amazon can't/ won't replace players with this defect :-( Do any experts out there think that the response to this problem could fix my issue too? So from now on I should transfer files into folders, instead of trying to transfer 500 songs all in one go? Cheers!

  • Zen Nano Plus 1GB i/o device er

    Hello
    i have been using Zen nano plus gb for some time now. Today i plugged it in my pc and when i tried to acces it i got the following error message. "L:\ is not accessible. The request could not be permitted beacuse of an i/O device error.
    so i see my zen nano in my computer, but my zen nano exlorer dont regonize it and i cant acces my player and it gives me that error. How can i fix this?

    Hello!
    I had the same problem/error message with my son's 52 Mb Plus. In my case solution was firmware update. I downloaded from support latest firmware (ZENNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__3_03.exe), installed it and reformatted the player. If I had understood right, before firmware installation, also the Player Recovery Device was installed and run.
    Last April (04-20-2006) Buck posted in this forum a message with more precise instructions. You can also find instructions for updating firmware from Support KnowledgeBase (eg. Solution ID # 265 Updating firmware for MuVo or Zen Nano Plus).
    Hope this hel

  • Zen Nano Plus transfer prob

    Am having trouble transferring .wma files to my Zen Nano Plus even though it has 590MB free. When I try to transfer anything using Creative Source I keep getting a "transfer error" message. Have tried reorganising files into folders to cut down on memory used in the root folder - but it doesn't seem to help. It's even stopped letting me transfer between folders. Has anyone else had this problem.. Anyone know what to do??

    I'm having the exact same problem with my Nano Plus, and I've only had it for a little over 3 months. I contacted technical support and they told me to download the Firmware update and gave me these directions:
    Zen Nano Plus Firmware Update:
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?Product=2720&dlcentric=9423&Product_ Name=ZEN+Nano+Plus&OSName=Windows+XP
    To install this firmware upgrade, do the following:
    - Connect your player to your computer.
    - Double-click the firmware upgrade file.
    - When prompted to set your player in Recovery mode, disconnect your player from your computer.
    - Press and hold the Play button while connecting your player to your computer's USB port.
    - Continue to hold the Play button for about 0 seconds after connecting your player to your computer.
    - Release the Play button when the "Find New Hardware" dialog box appears on the computer screen.
    - Follow the instructions on the screen to install recovery drivers for your player.
    - Double-click the firmware upgrade file and follow the instructions on the screen. Ensure to select the "Format Data Area" option within the Update.
    However, at step 6 my computer did not recognize my player with it being on and neither did the Firmware. I responded to Technical Support and told them this. They said it seemed like it needed repaired or replaced! Even though there is a -year warranty, there is only a 3 month labor warranty, which means if you send it in to get fixed and it has passed the 3-month labor warranty, you have to pay a $24.95 diagnostics and handling fee. If you're in this situation, they said the best thing to do is try to exchange it wherever you bought it first. I hope this helps!

  • Creative Zen Nano Plus Firmware Problem, AGAIN! (PeeBee HEL

    Hi all,
    I am new here and have read all the posts and FAQ's but couldn't solve my problem. Actually there is a post http://forums.creative.com/creativel...d=68923#M07024 which tells exactly my problem. Have tried the solution but didn't solve it.
    So I am here asking again.
    I bought a zen nano plus GB and downloaded the latest firmware(ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__0_03.exe) and the latest mass storage driver (MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250.exe). When I put the player in recovery mode as the firmware is detecting devices the player takes it self out of recovery mode and back in mass storage mode how do i stop it from down that?
    I am trying to update it because my player doesn't play wma files :angry:I have tried PeeBee's solution but it didn't work. I have taken the battery out, reconnected it and it is recognized in recovery mode. I run the firmware and the computer plays a sound, the icon of connection appears in the nano's lcd and it is out of recovery mode. Then firmware program tells me that the 'device state is not set' and after that the message 'put into recovery mode before updating firmware' Aaaaaarrrrrghhhh!
    I'm also running windows XP SP2
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you in advance

    Hello-
    I had a similar situation develop. Did your error message say, "Media state not initialized?" Here is what the creative support site says:
    If you receive a message "Media State is not initialized ..." while updating firmware for a MuVo or Zen Nano Plus player, it will be necessary to install the Player Recovery Device driver and then update the firmware.
    . Download the latest driver if you have not done so. You can download it from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads, and file name is MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250.exe.
    2. Install the latest driver by double clicking on the file name.
    3. Unplug the player from a computer if it is plugged.
    4. Remove the battery from the player (except Zen Zeeon which has a built-in battery).
    5. Press and hold the Play button while connecting the player to the USB port.
    6. Continue to hold the Play button for about 0 seconds after connecting your player is connected to the USB port.
    7. Keep on holding the Play button till Windows displays the Find New Hardware dialog box.
    8. If this is the first time a player is installed as Player Recovery Device, Windows will find a Player Recovery Device (or USB Device), and prompt you for drivers. Click on No, and select "Do not search. I will choose the driver to install". Windows will install the drivers automatically.
    9. Double click on the latest firmware upgrade file that you have downloaded previously, and follow the instructions on the screen.
    0. Format the player if you are prompted to do so.
    It is recommended that you stop your player properly before physically disconnect it from your PC.
    To stop your player in Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows ME
    Click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the Taskbar, click Safely remove USB mass Storage device, and disconnect your play when you are prompted to do so.
    To stop your player in Windows 98SE
    Make sure that the icon below appears on the LCD screen again for at least fi've seconds before disconnecting your player.
    Now, I did all of the above and still got the error. What solved the problem finally was to connect (using the above method - remove the battery - hold the switch, etc) to a DIFFERENT USB port. Then all worked well, and the firmware transferred. Don't ask me how or why.
    Good luck.

  • Zen Nano Plus showing Probl

    I am using Zen Nano plus. Somedays back I found it is not showing any of the mp3 files in it addtioanally some picture files also not able see.
    But when I try to see the memory consumed it is showing as if those files are still there. I can't play any music as it is saying a error no music file found. But memory is consumed by those file.
    Then I tried to re-install the firmware to get rid of all this issue, but I found the following error.
    "Sorry, no Creative updates are available for ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe."
    1.Can anyone tell me the link where I can find latest
    Firmware for Zen Nano plus.
    2. And how to get rid of above problem?
    Please let me know if you need more information regarding the problem.
    Thanks in advance

    The firmware ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe isn't available at the download site anymore as it's being replaced with a newer version.
    You should go to the download page and choose the player you have from the category list and get the firmware there.
    What's the website URL that you have mention there's no Zen Nano Plus listing in the category?

  • Creative Zen Nano Plus won't turn on!!!!Please h

    For some reason, my 256MB Creative Zen Nano Plus that I've only had for three months has suddenly failed to turn on. I have changed the battery several times so I know it isnt that, but when?I press the power button, the 'creative' logo comes up for about 2 seconds with the blue backlight before switching itself off. When I plug my player in my creative media organiser on my computer through the USB though, it connects absolutely fine and I can upload my media files, its just literally turning it on that is such a problem. I can't explain why its doing this, the only thing I'm thinking of is that it was in my handbag for about 6 weeks without being touched so I'm not sure if something in my bag could've damaged it's But I'm worried because I'm not sure if my player is under warranty as?I don't have the warranty sticker on the back of, only a number and a bar code?Can anyone possibly help as I've been everywhere to try and get it fixed but no one knows whats wrong!?Thank you?Laura.

    Can you still connect your player to your PC? If so then you can reload the firmware. Go to the Support, Downloads page for the Nano Plus and download the firmware from there. Make sure you click on the Show Details link as that explains how to carry out the reload.

  • Zen Nano Plus keep shutting d

    dear creative support team & community
    I own a Creative Zen Nano plus 28MB, which I start to use since Jan 2006.
    But since 6 months ago, the device is keep shutting down after uncertain time playing MP3 song or radio. And need several attempt to turn it on (by pressing the power button for 3 seconds). Sometime need to press until minute, or retry it over and over again.
    FYI, the battery indicator is full (and i'm doubt it while the battery indicator is always displays full). But the symptom kept happening even I replace a new battery.
    I've update it with latest firmware ZENNanoPlus_PCFW_L6__4_03.exe
    I'm wondering if this symptom is a bug or what ? Is there any hardware error rather than just software error ?
    TIA

    i dunno about a deal anywhere but to look anywhere you would be best to check circuit city, fry's/outpost, walmart pretty much any big "MP3" player stores

    Have tried to download drivers and software for Zen Micro. When I try to run it though, it does not install because it says that I do not have device connected. Have erased everything off of Zen Micro, but have not reformatted. When I attach Zen Micro to PC, Zen Micro displays "booted" & PC displays "Zen Micro" for a second or two, then switches to "MTP Device"?. Do I need to erase everything from the Zen Nano Plus first?2. What do you think my next step should be?Thx???

  • Zen Nano Plus WON'T START / RECOVERY / RES

    Hello ZNP friends and fellow victims of frustration,
    I have the GB Zen Nano Plus and a Windows XP operating system. My Zen is just over 3 months old, and a few days ago I started having the "stuck on Logo or hour glass (building library) problem". Like many of you, it has frustrated me beyond belief in my attempts to correct it. I'm certainly not a computer whiz, but I'm fairly good at following clear, numbered, valid instructions. I have tried many of the offered cures for this problem as provided in the discussion forum. None have worked for me.
    I have just stumbled onto/into the fix for the WON'T START / RECOVERY / RESCUE problem. At least, I hope it lasts. The bad news is that I don't know or remember the steps for the cure. The good news is that the problem can be fixed. In the frustration of trying a million variations on the steps offered in the discussion area, I happened to fix my nano plus. I was becoming like a hyper zealot playing a slot machine.
    What I do remember is this:
    ) I did download the application ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF___0 and install it, and put an icon on my desktop so I could activate it easily.
    2) I did double click it to call it up.
    3) I attached my nano plus via USB to the computer. I don't remember if I had to do that before or after bringing up the above application. (You may have to try both.)
    4) I did leave the battery out of the nano plus during this operation.
    5) I was required to reformat the nano plus which eliminated anything on it. When the instruction came on to reformat, it said "... area" so I was worried that the reformat might include more than the device itself but it didn't.
    6) Then I loaded a song, disconnected the device from the computer, put in a battery, and it started fine.
    What a task that whole process was! Of course I'm not telling you anything new. I was tempted to just get on with life, but then I thought I should really share this with those of you who have been in the trenches...to let you know that a cure is possible.
    Creative should really have a clear set of instructions by now for fixing this problem.
    Good luck!
    Buck

    Have you updated the firmware? this could be the major cause. Also, MP3 has far fewer kinks as a uni'versal format than WMA. If possible, I highly suggest using MP3 on MP3 players.
