Zen V 4GB Vista Drivers Probl

Question

Trying to get this Zen V to work with Vista is getting really frustrating. I think the problem is that I initially tried installing the software off the CD without realising that it isn't compatible. I tried to uninstall, and got rid of most of it. However, in the Uninstall programs menu, the Creative Zen V Series (R2) program with the little mp3 player logo is uninstallible. I try, but I just get the "Setup.exe has stopped working message".
Now when I am trying to install the mp3 player, it doesn't work. The weird thing is, once i uninstall it in the Device manager, then plug it in, it docks and works properly....untill Vista is finished trying to install drivers, which it fails at. Is there a way to stop Vista doing this, or any other way to make it work?

Answer 1

Never mind, I got it to work now! What I did was install the Vista compatible version of the media explorer. I didn't try that before now because it requires a player to be connected before it will install, which was a bit too Catch 22 for me to work out. what I did though was install it withing the 30 seconds or so that it takes to install the Vista drivers and the player connects. Once that was done, the old corrupt install must have been overwritten, as the nati've drivers installed properly first time. Thanks for your help anyway!
