Zen Stone not detected by creative media lite or

My Zen Stone has just begun not to detected by creative media lite or WMP. I'm so frustrated as its been working great. I charged it using my plug in charger, and the green light was on, steady, meaning, i think, its fully charged.
But when plugged into the pc its blinking on and off in a red light, meaning I think the battery isn't charged.
What's going on? can anyone help me!

My Micro did that last night. I used WMP beta 2 to transfer some files, just to see how it worked, and now the Creative Media Explorer won't see it. Funny thing is that right about the CME, is the listing with my players name. I can get into my player through that ...reinstalling the CME right now...will let you know the outcome...
That fixed it right up.
I hope that someone from Creative is watching all this mess with firmware/software problems and WMP and sorts it all out when WMP goes gold.Message Edited by zenwerewolf on 09--2006 04:24 PM

  • Zen Plus not compatible with Creative Media Explore

    I have had my Zen Plus for almost a year. Use it primarily to listen to audio books and I love it, but there is one thing that drove me crazy when I first got it, and it still does it, but I have gotten used to it. (I have Windows XP)
    When I connect my device via the USB plug, I get a Windows?pop up that says "Portable Device" in the title bar. It then tells me that Windows can perform the same action each time I connect this device. There are several actions to select from:?
    . Open device to view files (using Windows Explorer)
    . Sync digital media files to this device (using Windows Media Player)
    . Manage the device (using Real Player)
    . Organize Media files in this device (using Creative Media Explorer)
    . Add music to the device (using Yahoo Music Jukebox)
    . Manage the device (using Rhapsody)
    . TAKE NO ACTION
    Then there is a checkbox below that says "Always take the selected action."
    Then you can click "OK" or "Cancel"
    If I perform the obvious action (the Creative Media Explorer), I get an error message that says:
    "This device is not compatible with Creative Media Explorer. This application will now end".
    If I then go to my Start>Programs menu, and open up the Creative Media Source 5 Organizer, my device shows up in the program and I can use it with no problem. It also works if I have the Creative Media Source 5 organizer open before I?connect
    In my Zen.
    Don't know why it does this, or how to stop it but, as I stated previously - it is not a problem for me now that I know how to get around it, but it has probably caused a few new users to return their device because they? thought they could not get it to work.

    here try this, works for melink

  • Zen Stone not detected by winxp+

    Hi,
    I've just bought a Zen Stone and plugged it into my computer in the usb ports at the back. Windows detects the device, and the autoplay menu pops up, but then the autoplay menu disappears and the Zen Stone shuts down (the light stops blinking).
    I've looked around for similar problems and have only found incompatibilities with iomega zip dri'ves, however they have never been used on this machine. Has anyone any ideas on how to correct this problem?
    Many thanks,
    Mark

    Mark,
    Are you at least able to power on the player now and listen to the music? Try leaving the player connected to the computer for a few hours to charge just in case the battery is depleted.

  • Zen VW not showing up in Media Sou

    I have a one year old Zen VW. I recently reformatted my pc, it had been two years on that install and needed it. Anyway when I reinstalled everything back my Zen is not recognized by Creative Media Source. When I connected it via USB, Windows sees the device and asks what I want to open it with. I select Creative Media Explorer. Everything works fine here. I can see files on my Zen and everything else. It just does not show up in CMS. I am asking for help, because I prefer to drag and drop playlists in CMS with my Zen attached.
    Other info:
    I am running Windows XP Pro with all the updates. I downloaded the software for my creative sound card and Zen from the web two weeks ago when I reformatted. So its all new drivers and ap
    ps.
    Thanks for any help.

    There is another possible cause - which I found from this board - if you ever had an Iomega driver loaded on your PC e.g. from a Zip dri've, but there are other Iomega drivers around too, this can causes this problem. (Don't ask why............). If you can find a Iomega driver on your PC, you need to delete it. This worked for me - and I had a similar problem to you before I deleted the Zen driver. Honeyrose

  • Creative MediaSource not detecting my creative zen to

    I'm having trouble with my Creative Zen Touch. In Creative MediaSource, in the sources part on the left hand side, it does not detect my Creative Zen Touch and therefore i cannot transfer music. Any help would be much appreciated. PS when i plug my Creative Zen Touch into the computer using the usb port, the computer detects the device and i have an option to "take no action" or "Transfer files using Windows Media Player".

    I am also having this problem, but in order to download from the zen to the pc, I will have to have everything erased off the Zen, and there is an important recording I want to load to my PC first. There is no where in my creative media source since I updated my firmware to load from Zen to PC like there used to be. Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

  • Zen Stone not work

    So I went out and bought a Zen Stone GB mp3 player today. Upon hooking it up to the computer, it was recognized, and it supposedly installed fine. However, it is recognized in Device Manager, but not My computer. Only a removable Disk shows up in My Computer. Also, Creative Media Lite doesnot recognize that the mp3 player is attached, nor does the firmware update program. Any ideas as to what the problem is, and how I can solve it's This seems like a really nice mp3 player. Its a shame its such a pain in the neck to install.

    Update: At this point when I plug in the Zen stone, it is recognized, but still only in Device Manager. It does not appear in My Computer, and Creative Media Lite, Windows Media Player, and any other software will still not recognize it. I've tried installing the latest firmware, but it cannot find the Zen Stone either.

  • Creative Media Lite - your opini

    Hi guys,
    I am about to jump on the bandwagon and finally get a ZEN player, ZEN Stone Plus
    (should you ask) Not a big deal - it is relati'vely cheap, still I want to be sure that I am getting the right product.
    I saw a good few reviews and have no doubts about the player itself - seems great to me.
    One thing that I cannot find any information on is the software - Creative Media Lite.
    I would just download it and play around with it but it would not install without the player. So here is the deal:
    - How do you find Media Lite?
    - Is there something this software does exceptionally well or exceptionally bad?
    - Is it a hog on resources like iTunes perhaps or is it clean and tidy?
    - Will it tag mp3s while ripping?
    - Will it clean existing mp3s (add tags etc)?
    Many Thanks in advance

    No-one ever used Media Lite here?

  • Can't install Creative Media Lite - Clash with Windows XP Home SP

    Zen Stone GB. Firmware: .6..
    My PC: AMD Athlon 3200+, Windows XP SP3, IE7, Windows Media Player .0.572.5230
    Can't install Creative ZEN Stone Starter Pack ..08.
    When InstalShield runs I get the following message:
    >SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp(298)
    PAPP:Creative Media Lite
    PvVENDOR: Creative Technology Limited (www.creative.com)
    PGUID:A99CB37-AEBO-492F-A85A-8A2536D22393
    $9..0.429
    @Windows XP Service Pack 3 (2600) !E 7.0.6000.6640
    Followed by Error Code 5002.
    I've check that my system spec. meets Media Lite requirements and suspect a clash with XP SP3.
    Any suggestions on how to complete the installation of Media Lite will be much appreciated.

    Here's 2 messages from Creative Customer Support. Looks like there may be a clash with SP3 so, 'Come on Guys', let's get it fixed.
    I will be forwarding this to our ASG, and we will be looking more into this matter. And we would probably have a patch released for this issue in the near future. Best Regards,Creative Customer Support ServicesCreative Labs Europe
    I was able to talk to our Advanced Support Group (ASG) regarding this issue. And according to them, that it might be possible that SP3 would be the reason why you are unable to install the Creative ZEN Stone Starter Pack. According to our ASG, that the main difference between SP2 and SP3 is network security feature called Network Access Protection, which scans the integrity of a computer before connecting to a corporate network, which is absolutely useless for end users at home. As being one more security feature in Windows XP, this can possibly cause various problems with multimedia applications.

Then it will allow you to go to Muvo T 200 and all the downloads for it. You Creative Media Lite package is at the bottom of the list.

    Ha ha ha! Sucess at last!
    I got it working now!
    I was missing a step in the second suggestion (link posted by DM) to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB and add "EVERYONE." Plus I didn't reboot right away! I guess that would help too. Sorry forgot to do that.
    THANK YOU! The support on this fourm is wonderful! Glad to see the help is here for Creative products.

    Strange that WMP doesn't detect it, presumably you have v0? Worth checking the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post and installing the hot fixes.
    Also make sure you have the latest software with MTP updates, by downloading and installing the following:
    . Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
    2. Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices
    3. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
    Before installing connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 and 3 (the player must be connected for to verify you have a Creative product).

  • Zen Touch not detected by Windows Explorer though recognised by Windows Media Pla

    I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem to this:
    I am running Windows ME and my son has just received the player for his birthday.</LI>
    Unfortunately the CD that came with the player caused this computer (and another) to lock-up so faulty CD assumed.</LI>
    Loaded drivers from internet.</LI>
    Camera and memory sticks all recognised by Windows Explorer but NOT the Zen Touch.</LI>
    Now the surprise the Zen Touch IS recognised by Windows Media Player and my son can transfer files using that - but it is a VERY slow way of loading files and we would much prefer to use Windows Explorer.</LI>
    Anyone any suggestions as to how to make Windows Explorer detect the Zen Touch?

    The Touch is only recognised through Windows Explorer by virtue of installing Nomad Explorer.
    Certainly make sure you have the latest version of this from the downloads page, you mentioned you have the latest drivers already.
