Zen Sleek not working on windows 2

My New Zen sleek is not working on windows 2000. IT says that this product doesn't run on this operating system but in the requierements on the creative website it says that windows 2000 can be used. ANy ideas?. THe only recognization i get is a yellow question mark next to the devices name

*sigh*
The Zen Sleek was originally shipped with 2 versions. One that works with Windows XP systems only which US/Canada consumers got. And one that works with Windows 2000, which other countries such as Europe got. This has since been changed and now all countries worldwide are getting the Windows XP only models. It seems that Marketing and IT didn't communicate properly and now we have some false advertisements going on with the Sleek and the Micro. Both devices are shipping with support for Windows XP right out of the box. Despite what the label says or what the website says of Windows 2000/98/ME support.
You <i>can</i> get it working with Windows 2000, however you need the "Easy CD". If your package did not include such as CD then you cannot get it working under Windows 2000.
I would think that Creative is in for some serious problems if someone finds a good lawyer.

  • Zen sleek not working with vi

    I have a Zen sleek, and I have just got myself a new computer with windows vista. How do I get my Zen Sleek to work with vista? This is very frustrating. I have tried downloading the software from the Creative site, but during setup it says that no product can be found. I get this message both with and with my zen sleek connected to my computer.
    What to do? Please help.
    kind regards
    Jacob Skeel Nielsen, Denmark.

    OK, your Zen Micro worked with your older computer, correct?
    Was your older computer an XP machine or an earlier version of Windows?
    As far as I know, XP requires the PlaysForSure firmware to work with your Zen Micro. You need Service Pack 2 and Windows Media Player 0 too.
    You can find the drivers, firmware and software that you need by clicking the Support menu on the Creative banner at the top of the page-> Downloads->MP3 Players-> Zen-> Zen Micro, select your language and Operating System and then the drivers, firmware and software that you need.
    Be sure to click the <i>Show Details...</i> pop-up for more information and instructions.

  • MY CREATIVE ZEN M NOT DETECED BY WINDOWS OR ZEN ME

    HELLO, i have a serious situation here. i had my zen for about 3 months and i love it. but about 2 weeks ago, i wanted to transfer new music and video to my player. i noticed at first that not all my music shows in my zen media or my windows media. i do have all the componets to my cpu. i have windows xp serivce pak 2 and i have windows media 0. well n-e way, i also have real player. i pulled real player and i noticed that every piece of music and video i have was there. so i decided to sync it to my device using real. at first it transferred, so of course i get ready for bed and i noticed it was taking a while. so i figured when i get up it will be done. well it wasn't, it only transferred four songs and it downloaded everything from my cpu to my device. i had folders in there that i never seen. so i figured let me delete everything and start over, but using windows media. when i did that, it tells me that windows media player does not detect a portabel device, connect your device, and then try again. so i clicked on the web help option that comes with that error to see if they can give me some info. it gives me a code c00d79 and that is the reason why it is not connecting. so i searched the internet to see if i can anything comes under this code, join discussions and also email creative. alot of info i have found in the codes, but not this paritcular one. then i called dell techincal support because that is where i purshaced my zen. they couldn't help me. so today i went to the knowledge support and i found info on the same problem that i am experiencing. so i did everything. checked the device manager. my comp reads that the zen is there, but windows and media doesn't. so i did the back up regristy and also for the usb, still nothing. so it says to contact tech support and of course, there is none, unless u pay a fee. i work long hours and the hours are impossible for me to contact. the only way is if they work weekends and they dont. i am lost at this point. it will be 3 weeks exactly tomorrow that my zen is not working. i can not go another day without my device. i am starting to think i need to return my device for a new one. this is my last option. PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Anyone who can help?
    Please!
    At least give me some ideas please.

  • How to get Zen Touch to work on Windows Vista without PFS (worked!)

    CHow to get Zen Touch to work on Windows Vista without PFS (worked!)? ***THIS WORKED***
    For all of you that want to get their music out of the Zen touch, and are stuck with Vista and .0.03 firmware (non vista recognisable), and don't want to erase everything by installing the latest firmware, here is what worked for me:
    )Uninstall every piece of Touch software you got and reboot.
    2) Download the latest drivers from Creative: JB3MV2...exe, together with the latest Nomad explorer, and the latest Notmad explorer from Red Chair (a trial is enough, version 9.0.3 currently).
    3) Right click the driver, properties, go to compatibility mode, and select Windows XP SP2. Make sure your Zen is unplugged (worked for me that way). Right click the driver installer again and Run as Administrator. It hanged around 72% for me, no biggy, open your task manager and shut the installer off.
    4)Before rebooting, install Notmad explorer.(I installed only the Zen touch part of it. I tried to run it right away but got a 'cannot find explorer.exe error - again, no biggy).
    5) Reboot, plug in your Zen. Again for me, Notmad didn't work. This is what worked: Without messing up anything, install Nomad Explorer by Creative on top of it all, and reboot again.
    6) After reboot, with your Zen still plugged in, right click the little Notmad icon on the right part of the taskbar and select 'Connect Jukebox Zen'. And voila, check your explorer, it should hopefully recognise the Zen Touch like windows xp would.
    If you still run into trouble, just install stuff from the beggining, making sure Compatibility: WinXP SP2 and Run as Admin are used everywhere, and keep rebooting till it hopefully works.
    Best of luck. edit: Using Winamp to transfer files worked as well.

    Hi D2xS-Shooter,
    I am afraid Creative Cloud desktop app is not compatible with Windows Vista. If you run into problems there are very limited resources from Adobe to assist.
    Creative Cloud is a collection of apps with various different tech specs

    Run this code to reproduce the issue.Which issue?
    It looks like inheritance is broken in the component hierarchy for JFrame in Windows 7 JDK 1.6.0_23-b05. The only thing remotely related to inheritance in your code snippet is the WindowListener, which does little. See camickr's advice about built-in exit management.
    EDIT - using the post title as a clue, I realize you may be talking about the component hierarchy, and whether the contentPane's background is visible through the upper layers. Instead of guessing, I'd prefer you describe your "issue" accurately (observed vs expected behavior).

  • APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

    I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

    Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

  • Flash player does not work in Windows 8 tiles

  • ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

    Hi everyone,
    I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
    After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

    The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly.  Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components.  It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version.  I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.

  • ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

    Getting the following error message:
    Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
    This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
    I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
    Please advise.

    <edited by host>

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

  • MFA not working on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Been using MFA since PF days.  Deployed it successfully many times but for some reason it's not working with Windows Auth, Terminal Services on a Win 2012 R2 DataCenter box?  The machine was successfully added to my domain PhoneFactor group, I
    can see and add the machine on the master MFA.  Services are running but when I remote in I go right through without MFA stopping me?  Any ideas?
    TIA

    6.3.0 has just been released and 2012 R2 is *still* not supported. What the hell?!?
    "Version 6.3.0 of the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server adds the
      following additional functionality:
    * Added one-way SMS functionality for AD FS, RADIUS and User Portal
    * Added .csv file import for OATH tokens
    * Added support to parse phone numbers in E.164 format during import
      From the directory
    * Fixed problem preventing slave servers from performing MFA if the
      master server was unavailable. This problem was found to exist in
      all 6.2.x builds. All customers running 6.2.x should upgrade to 6.3.
    * Fixed directory sync issue for recursive security groups
    * Added additional logging to AD FS adapter
    * Other minor bug fixes and security improvements
    Known Issues:
    * Windows Authentication for Terminal Services is still not supported for
      Windows Server 2012 R2"
    So they added a whole stack of other functionality, but still didn't get around to taking a look at this bug. I'm stunned. Is there any sort of timeline on fixing this, or is 2012 R2 just going to remain unsupported forever?

  • HP Laserjet P1006 is not working on Windows 7 (64-bit).

    I lost my original CD-Driver and I tried to download the CD-Driver on HP website but it doesn't work when I click printing.  It seems that my HP Laserjet P1006 is not working on Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Can anyone give me a link that works for installing driver for HP Laserjet P1006 for Windows 7 (64-bit)?  
    Thanks for helping!

    Hi @achieverone ,
    I can help you with finding the drivers for the Laserjet P1006.
    Just to clarify, you were able to install the printer software, but it just isn't printing correct?
    Here are the two drivers available for Windows 7 64 bit.
    HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver.
    HP LaserJet P1005/P1006/P1500 Printer Series Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
    Open and close the lid five times quickly. It should print off a page with black lines on it.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!

  • CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList  is not working in Windows VISTA.When

    CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList is not working in Windows VISTA.When I run the Application from vista using a jar file.But it is running if i run it from class file without use the jar file.

    This pretty much says it all:
    No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.What version of Vista?
    What version of the agent? ... 10g is not a version number it is a marketing label
    Did you check to see if the agent is compatible with your operating system?
    My recommendation would be to get a real operating system: Either Oracle Linux or XP.

  • Flash 10.2 not working in Windows 7 IE8 despite 'successful' installation

    Hi there,
    I downloaded flash player to attempt to view flash media on sites such as bbc website and youtube.
    Despite the installation claiming to be successful, I still cannot view video on any sites I have tried.
    (bbc website says I don't have the correct version, youtube says I need to upgrade)
    My system details are as follows:
    Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit operating system
    Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385IC  (it makes no mention of being 64-bit)
    Flash Player 10.2.152.26
    I have tried following the troubleshooting guides on the adobe website, particularly 'Flash player does not work in Windows 7'
    but I have not managed to fix the problem.
    I've also gone through several threads on this forum, relating to similar problems, but I'm sorry I haven't been able to fix it.
    So far, the stuff I have tried is listed below, but since it has not worked, I assume I have done something incorrectly, missed something,
    or I have not yet found the right solution.
    The Flash Player does not appear on my programs list, but it does show up in the control panel/list of installed programs.
    I don't know how to get flash player to run on its own, so I can't access settings etc. for the hardware acceleration.
    The folder located at C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash contains 5 files:
    Flash10m.ocx; FlashInstall.log ; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.dll; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.exe; install.log
    When I visit the adobe page for testing flash player, it does not show me any animation; there is a blank white rectangle with a tiny red 'X' in its top left corner, which I assume should be a box containing the version information if the player had been recognized.
    I have looked at the IE8 'tools/Manage Add-Ons - 'show' All Add Ons, and there is no listing of  'Shockwave  Flash Object'
    although there is a listing of   'shockwave activeX control' which is enabled.
    I've set my IE8 security settings to medium for the categories of 'Trusted Sites' and 'Internet' and I've made sure to set:
    'Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to 'Prompt'  and 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to 'Enable'
    I've tried unintalling the flash player using the specified tool, removing the adobe download tool, and manual re-installation.
    Finally, I tried (with much hesitation) to modify the registry key referred to in the Flash-Killer or 'kill-bit' guidlines.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
    The key existed, with a Name: compatibility flags  ; Type: REG_DWORD  ; Data: 0x0000400 (1024)
    So I changed the value from 400 to 000 as suggested.
    This is not worked either, despite uninstalling flash player, re-booting and re-installing.
    Finally, I updated the graphics driver for my ATI RADEON HD 5670 card, but aside from scaring me by drastically altering the screen resolution and not allowing me to roll back the driver, it has unfortunately not solved the flash player problem.
    I appreciate that the people with expertise have given loads of help on this problem, I hope I haven't missed something important when following the advice, but I'm pretty stuck, so if anyone can help, I thank you very much.
    thanks,
    pad

    Hi eidnolb,
    unfortunately, the installation of FP 9.0.280 based on running flashplayer9r280_winax.exe has not worked:
    I cannot see the animation / spinning, there is no animation and no box showing the version.
    (I have included a partial screenshot in this message, file name flashplayer_test_screenshot.jpg)
    Therefore, I did not continue with the instructions.
    The control panel list of programs does show 'Adobe Flash Player ActiveX' as being installed, version 9.0.280.0
    There were no messenger utilites listed in the system tray.
    As you advised, the first thing I did was to modify the {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} registry key value from 400 to 000.
    After modifying the value by making it Zero, I re-started the computer.
    Regarding Administrator Account, I looked on ther 'User Accounts' information, and there is only one user, my dad, and he is listed as Administrator.
    Sorry, but I will need to ask for your further advice. In case it is useful, I tried to get a list of all processes that were running on the computer
    (in case some of them inhibit the installation. most of them don't mean anything to me, even when they are given a description by the windows 7 Task Manager Processes List - I have pasted the text file below in this post, since I couldnt see how to attach files.)
    thank you for your help,
