Zen Sleek Softw

I've upgraded my Zen?Sleek firmware.Following that I tried to install the upgrade software but the result was the following error during installation:0x80040707?In Safe Mode I managed to install all updates for my Zen Sleek apart from the one which asks 'please connect your player'. Since i'm in Safe Mode the drivers are not loaded and i cannot continue the installation. I can still use the Creative products, such as Import Manager, CD Ripping Wizard and Sync Manager etc. by opening the .exe's in the Program Files. I also installed all the software and updates on a second PC (Dell laptop) and everything works fine!Does anybody know how to enable drivers in Safe Mode?

Installing Zen Sleek Photo 20 GB software over Zen Sleek softwa

I have a Zen Sleek 20 GB that can't/won't be fixed. I just purchased a refurbished Zen Sleek Photo GB. My question is - can I just install the Zen Sleek Photo software over the Zen Sleek's software Or, do I have to uninstall the Zen Sleek's software first Thanks

It's probably a good idea to uninstall your Zen Sleek's software before installing the Zen Sleek Photo's.
That said, I run 4 different Creative .mp3 players on my computer and haven't had issues with them. Still, it's probably a good idea to uninstall the older software.

How do you set Zen sleek drive space through softwa

OK,
So I have a Zen sleek and I accidentally cracked the screen. No problem, used a wire remote and still good. Except the jack on the Zen broke and it doesn't respond now. So I figure I'll use this as a glorified portable hard dri've, except the manual says I need to set the size through the player, which I can't see what I'm doing. Does anybody know how I can do this through software? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,

I just wanted to close out this question.
I never received a clear answer but in the end I don't need to use the function. My concern was that a new WD1001FALS would be louder than the OEM 320GB HDD in my iMac to the point that I wouldn't be happy with it. Not wanting to trade speed for quiet I passed on the Green caviar and went for the Black. After living with it for several weeks I can say that it is very quiet and while I don't know if it's measurably louder than the old drive, it's not enough for me to notice (and I'm pretty picky).
So, I'm happy with the drive as-is, case closed.

I have a ZEN Micro and ZEN sleek, can I use the same softwa

I currently have a zen micro and just purchased a zen sleek photo, will I have to reinstall the software using the NEW disk? Will I be able to use them both with the same software?

Yes.

Zen Sleek photo is great but has terrible softwa

Ok, Im posting this for one reason. The software to edit,transfer, compile playlists, or do anything for the Zen Sleek Photo is horrible. It is very long and tedious to do one simple change. Don't get me wrong I love my Sleek Photo. its great. But editing songs and making playlists in the creative mediasource is really horrible. I had a Zen Micro and it had Creative Mediasource as well, but It was different. It allowed me to veiw all the tracks at once, or all the albums, or all the artists and showed them to me AS THE WOULD APPER IN THE PLAYER. The Sleek Photo has the folders of the music and it is really hard to keep track of your newly transfered music and maybe not yet correctly labeled stuff if you don't know it doesnt have an artist or something. I was hoping someone could help me out? tell me that im stupid and say there is a preference you can choose, or hey here is some third party software, it works great.
That would be wonderful
thanks

No one at all?

Creative Zen Sleek and the Now Playing-part of the firmw

Hi,
this week I got my Creative Zen Sleek. I'm very satisfied, except for one thing - the Now Playing-part of the firmware (the list with all the songs queued up). In the old Nomad Jukebox Zen firmware, the list was divided by artist or album name. On the Zen Sleek, however, the list is just going on without even showing which songs belonging to which album etc.
This is really annoying me - would it be possible to fix this, or at least consider the possibility for this to be integrated in the next firmware upgrade?
Sincerely
Hein Haraldson Berg

& Putting the X-Fi into Recovery Mode and selecting clean up seemed to fix the problem, but it does still come up randomly.
The clean up puts the player menus back to their defaults though... any chance that in a future fix for the player, this wouldn't occur?

Creative Zen sleek, folder based explori

Ok, long story short. i upgraded my Zen sleeks firmware, and for my disapoint, i founded out that whit the new firmware i cant use the "Creative media explorer", and im "forced" to use ether the crappy Mediaplayer 0, or the the "drag and drop" function.
The problem is, for example i got folder "AC/DC" where i have lot of ACDC music, some of them are named by only the songs name, some of them are like "AC/DC - Highway to hell", some of them "ACDC - ****" and some of them "AC-DC - ****", now when i transfer that folder to my player, i got artist "AC/DC", "ACDC" "AC-DC" etc etc. Now, is there anyway to get rid of that "Artist, album" etc based browsing, and start to browse my music by folders?
Or, is there anyway to get the new firmware to work whit the creative media explorer? Since whit media explorer it was possible to convert folder names to "Artist names".
thanks. Carl

Cat, this firmware is also available on the Creative US site; though the US Sleek was MTP/Janus out of the box (and its specs require WinXP), the specs didn't show Audible support. So there's definitely also a version of this firmware available that's not subject to EU volume-limiting regulations.
With the similarities between the Sleek and the Micro (similar controls, possibly similar chipsets?), does this indicate that an Audible upgrade is pending for Micro firmware (.x and/or 2.x)? And if so, will the 2.x upgrade also include the battery fixes in ..02?

Creative Zen Sleek Photo Firmware Download does not recognize my pla

My Creative Zen Sleek Photo recently froze up. After restarting it, the "firmware problem" screen popped up. After reading up on it a bit, I decided to first clean, then reformat, and then reload the firmware. Everything went smoothly until I went to load the firmware back onto my Zen.
For whatever reason a screen pops up that says that my device is not connected to the computer, when it, in fact, is. I have tried several things including uninstalling Windows Media Player and repeatedly cleaning and reformatting in hopes that it would recognize it.
I have had no prior problems with the computer recognizing the device and I have loaded quite a bit of music onto it through this computer. Can anyone please help? Any more ideas? Anything will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks?

HelloHave a look at this thread http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ead.php?t=6328?I had a similar problem with a Zen Sleek Photo and I am sure that this was the thread I used to recover the player when a firmware upgrade failed. Regards?

Zen Sleek -WMP 11 - PC Music Library -Playli

Since December I have been unable to create/edit/delete any playlists using the PC Music Library, ?my preferred method with Creative MediaSource Organiser, on my Zen Sleek 20GB which was bought in Sept 05?& has performed wonderfully until then. In fact the PC Music Library doesn't seem to recognise the Zen Sleek even though it is connected and confirms as much. The Zen Sleek &?the PC Music Library don't seem to synchronise when new tracks are being imported.Around this time I did download Windows Media Player , at first without being aware of the compatability issues and the firmware requirements. I have corrected these and upgraded where required. I have rolled back to WMP0 but this has not changed anything and have indeed gone back to WMP because of this. The only (marginal) success with playlists is with using the Organiser's synchronisation facility but it is very inconsistent in transferring files.Any Suggestions

My Creative Zen Sleek is bro

My Creti've Zen Sleek got dropped, so only half of the LCD display currently works. I have sent emails to Creative through the website asking for the necessary details so that it can be fixed, but have received absolutely no response. I understand that as it's accidental damage that I'll have to pay for the repairs and have no issue with this, so can someone please let me know the contact details I need so that I can send my Zen Sleek in to be fixed? I'm finding the zero response from Creative very frustrating, as I would like them to fix my device, rather than having to go elsewhere to try to get it fixed.

Thanks Cat,
I have sent 2 emails, one quoting my work email, which I thought might have blocked it so I sent another quoting my yahoo email address, which doesn't have spamguard turned on, but still no reply. So as the messages don't seem to be getting received, I don't know how I am meant to be able to get the details I require. Any further assistance would be much appreciated.

Deanna,
Perhaps try running a Cleanup in Rescue mode first. Also, what are you using to transfer those music? MediaSource or WMP0? Have you also try different software to transfer and see if you face the same thing.

ZEN Sleek Not Recogni

I've recieved a ZEN Sleek a litle less than a year ago and it was working perfectly until about a month ago, when my computer suddenly stopped recognizing the player. I've followed the directions in the FAQ section and I've only been able to have the ZEN player show up in the device manager, but it is still not recognized by Windows Media Player or the ZEN Media Explorer. I know there's no problem with the cord, since the player is can connect to other computers and can still be used as an external dri've on my computer. I'm stumped as to what I should do. Any suggestions?

Maybe this can help you! It solved my problem on my Jukebox Zen USB 2.0.
I read this in an old thread, the tip came from SSR:
Try running a disk cleanup on the player. To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.

Zen Sleek Photo Freezes/Locks Up after about 5 minutes usage (need to drain battery to recov

Hi,
My 20G Zen Sleek Photo has just recently transformed itself into a useless brick.
No matter what I try and do, it always ends up freezing after about 5 minutes usage. When you force a reset it does unlock but when it comes back on it sticks on the Creative "copyright" start up screen.
I've reformatted and re-installed the firmware several times but with the same result.
font face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">
The only time it totally unlocks is when you either:
() let the battery fully drain and then recharge it or
(2) you disconnect the battery lead and then press the On/Off switch for several minutes.
I've looked everywhere for a solution/reason but nothing. You find plenty of people with the same problem but no answers. Surely someone knows how to fix the problem
Is it a faulty battery (unlikely because mine charges up fine and holds it charge well)
Is it the hard dri've (very unlikely since the player can start up correctly [given the above recovery procedure] and play tracks within the 5-0 minutes you have available)
Is it the firmware (I doubt it, I can't see what the firmware's got to do with a delayed lock up, having worked fine up to that point)
Is it the motherboard (maybe....., to my mind it points to a component failure that allows an electric charge to build up and not dissipate, the only way to discharge it is to short the battery pins [with, I hasten to add, the battery removed!])
font face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">
Has anyone within the Creative community successfully solved this problem Has anyone received a decent answer from Creative
I find it staggering that the guys at Creative have washed their hands of this problem. They, after all, are the most likely people to identify the problem - only they have a schematic of the motherboard that would allow them to investigate and locate the problem.
For the record the firmware I'm using is v .0.0.
Any guidance would be much appreciated,
Victor

Is there really no one with an answer to this problem or have I overlooked a previous post that explained the fault.

My Zen Sleek Only works with USB 1.1 not 2

For Reference ( http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=953 )
So I figured out that when my Zen Sleek is connected to any USB port on my computer, (it's USB 2.0) it doesn't work.
It works in that I can browse the files, etc..etc.. but when i try to copy a song or some songs, it will crash after the first song is transfered.
So I have a USB . Hub, and I plug the Zen Sleek to it and well even though it's slow, it actually works. All songs transfer fine.
So I buy a new Belkin USB 2.0 Hub, same problem happens.
I have an EPOX 8K5A+2 motherboard, built in 4 ports of USB 2.0, gig PC2700 Ram, AthlonXP 2800+ etc.. Latest VIA Detonator drivers... Deleted all the USB ports and what not in Device Manager, rebooted, etc.. tried everything.. Any Ideas people?

Confirm you've installed the Media Player 0 updates KB902344 (http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...4-x86-INTL.exe) and KB8922(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...08-FD6E7827CD8) on your XP system. I experienced the same transfer issues you report until after KB902344 installation.
