Zen v and windows vista problem, can you hel

??Hi, We just got a new pc os windows vista. Won't recognize my daughters zen v I got her for xmas, I've tried drivers, firmware update, uninstalling-reinstalling , no joy, I'm an amateur pc user but usually manage to install hardware, I loathe not getting a result after hours, days now weeks?of trying. Can any knowledgeable person please tell me where I am going wrong?

?Hi, no there is no error message, it's been a while since I tried to install it with the disc, it all went ok seemingly but when I went to start transferring files and plugged the player into the usb port( tried more than one)the pc just won't recognize the player, says ' no player has been detected, plug your player in'?It did the same with our printer and I tried for ages to get it to work, ended up getting a new cheap printer as my daughter needs it for her prelims. So rubbishy as I'm super skint and our printer worked fine on xp.

  • ITunes and Windows Vista problem

    I have Windows Vista and ran iTunes successfully for 8mos.  Now I'm getting a message box that says "iTunes has stopped working.  Close box and Windows will send a solution."  The solution, upgrading Windows, doesn't work.  Is Vista the problem?

    Scan and Fix windows System files:
    Can you go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair or update files.
    Start iTunes again

  • You Tube requires Flash update. Worked for laptop Windows 7 but not PC Windows Vista. Can you help?

    You Tube said I needed latest Adobe Flash Player, so uninstalled old version and reinstalled latest version 11.6.602.171 on PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS.  My system says it's there, but it still won't work on You Tube - still get same message saying Ineed latest version.
    Had same message on my Laptop running Windows 7 and it updated and works fine.  I use Internet Explorer 9.
    Detailed Problem Description: Problem with downloading latest Adobe Flash update and viewing YouTube.  On PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS, You Tube home page red banner at top said I needed to install latest Adobe Flash Player but even after installing, it does not work and will not play most videos in browser and shows black screen with message still asking to download latest version.  Seems to be rather random as to which videos it will play and which ones it won't, although there may be some common link (see examples below).  I thought it might have been HTML5 problem but I have successfully played HTML5 and Non-HTML videos through Adobe test site (Adobe Flash Player Help/Video Playback Issues) as well as Stage Videos. (Note: Had same You Tube messages when viewing on Laptop running Windows 7 but that updated without problem.)
    Ran Adobe Uninstall. Closed all other programs before reinstalling direct from Adobe (rather than You Tube link). No change.
    Ran all Adobe troubleshooting suggestions listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_.
    Removed browsing data and deleted cache, checked that Internet Tools\Safety\Active X filtering was disabled (but in Internet Option\Security, Active X controls are enabled), disabled Hardware Acceleration, restarted computer but no change to You Tube viewing.  Re-enabled, but no change.  (WOULD LOVE ADVICE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IF I SHOULD KEEP THIS ENABLED OR DISABLED.)
    I have updated graphics drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT- although had to do manually as NVIDIA auto system scan said "could not detect your GPU". Noted they said Windows Vista supports up to Direct X 10, but my system is running Direct X 11.  Had optional update message for "nVidia Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM 1.2, other Hardware NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT" on both PC & laptop.  Laptop downloaded fine. Tried to download on PC but was not successful. Error Code 80070103, possibly because system had already been updated? Current driver version 9.18.13.1407 - "Windows has determined that your current driver software is up to date".
    Running Norton 360 but it did not block or indicate any problems with Flash Player download.
    Problem URL: http://www.youtube.com/?utm_source=navclient (red banner at top of home page says I still need to download latest Adobe Flash).

    Dear Chris,
    Thanks for reply.  I ran the recommened Adobe uninstall program so assumed it deleted whatever it should have, before installing new version.  When it didn't work I followed instructions in Flash Player help page (screen shot below) which said to delete the Roaming App Data/Macromedia/Flash folder and Roaming App Data/Adobe/Flash folder, which I did. 
    Below are screen shots of C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash files as they currently stand.  I have a fuzzy recollection that it was deleted at some point because I think I went searching for it during one troubleshooting session and it couldn't be found (but maybe I'm geting confused with the App Date folders?).  Anyway I presume these current files are all post-reinstallation as the dates are all 5 or 6 March (did them before and after midnight).  I'm on Australian time - not sure where you are. However, notice install.log date is 21/05/2010 and Flash Player Trust sub-folder is dated 6/09/2008.
    When I right click on the screen of both videos that will and won't play, I just get a list of options starting at "Copy video URL" down to "About HTML5".   So not sure what you mean when you say "For the videos that do play, when you right click on them what version of Flash Player is reported at the bottom of the context menu?" as I can't see any info like this.  Do I click somewhere else?
    If you are able to get the info you are after yourself, two videos that will work are:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLKlTN1JN7w and
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbrFmPBV0Y
    Also, with hardware acceleration enabling or disabling, the only place I can find to do this is through the Adobe Flash Help page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_
    and right clicking on the Flash Player info box, going into Settings and checking or unchecking the Enable box.  Do you know if there is another setting in my actual computer where I can do this and or there's some other setting I need to change?  There doesn't seem to be anything similar when I go through Conrol Panel - Flash Player.
    5. Delete all Flash Player browsing data
      a.. Click Start > Control Panel.
      b.. Double-click Flash Player.
      c.. In the Flash Player Setting Manager, click Advanced.
      d.. Under Browsing Data and Settings, click Delete All.
    6. Remove Flash Player cache
      a.. On your computer, select Start > Run. (On Windows 7, click Start and type in Search Programs and Files.)
      b.. Type %appdata%\Adobe and click OK.
      c.. Delete the Flash Player folder.
      d.. Repeat step 1 and type %appdata%\Macromedia.
      e.. Delete the Flash Player folder.

  • Iphone and Windows Vista problem

    Okay, so I have windows vista and the iphone seems to be having a hard time with that.
    When I plug my Iphone into my computer it recognizes the apple device and asks if I want to import picture. In itunes it shows the button that the Iphone is plugged in and synced, however, when I press that button nothing happens. I can't add any photos to it because everytime I try there is some kind of error. What can I do?

    Same exact problem!
    Upon returning home after picking up the long awaited iPhone 2, I discovered that my iTunes and/or Windows Vista would not detect the iPhone, and I’ve been searching the Internet for a solution since (going on day two now). Apparently, Vista and the latest iTunes have had this problem quite a lot.
    It’s really a shame, as I think Apple is missing a singular opportunity to use the iPhone as a transition drug to more Apple products. I for one have been looking for a reason to dump my Dell and pick up a MacBook Pro, and the iPhone seemed to be it.
    However, if I get caught in the middle of a ******* match between Apple and Microsoft, well, they both lose.
    When you spend this kind of money, it is imperative that the thing works out-of-the-box. I will never purchase a Dell again for just this reason. Now, if I purchase a Lada, well, I'm expecting to put in some hours and blood to get the thing air born, but an Apple product? No way.
    Please help me become an Apple customer.

  • Zen Micro and Windows Vista 32

    I have managed to get Windows Vista to detect my Zen when I connect it so can anybody please advise me what I need to do next? Do I now need to install the software from my disc that I got with it and then download the Firmware? If that is right, please can you let me know which Firmware I need to select as I'm not sure which ones I need. Many thanks.

    Just install the programs that came in the CD with your Zen. Everything should work after that =]

  • Dreamweaver and Windows Vista Problem

    Hello,
    I ran into a problem with my Dreamweaver - 8 application and
    cannot find a fix. I open up the Dreamweaver application, 2-3
    seconds later, I get the following error message, “A problem
    caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close
    the program and notify you if a solution is available.” I am
    using Windows Vista and believe the problem is associated with the
    Vista operating system. I am puzzled by the fact that I have been
    using Dreamweaver with Vista and have had no problems up until now.
    I uninstalled & reinstalled Dreamweaver to no avail. I
    restored my computer to an earlier date, and updated Dreamweaver,
    and still have the same problem.
    Any help to resolve this problem would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Hello Again,
    I finally fixed the problem. I went into my network settings
    and reset my network address. This did the trick, I went back and
    opened up Dreamweaver without any problem.

  • Zen Micro and Windows Vista

    I am not a techy person, have had a Zen Micro player for many years, only use it on holidays! A couple of years ago had to get a new desk top PC - it has Windows Vista. I'm I right in saying that this is not compatable with the Zen Micro? Last time I uploaded music I did it on someone else's PC but don't have that option now.
    Is there anything I can do?

  • Unknown Device ipod Classic and Windows Vista problem??

    Help!! My ipod Classic is not being recognized by my computer. I have read the previous articles and tried the solutions but I continue to get the result "Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date" I continue to get the error noise when I plug the USB in and the Device manager continues to say "Unknown Device" It seems others are having this problem, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same trouble with mine, and I can say that it isn't iTunes, I plugged my brothers iPod Nano in and it worked like a charm, but when I plugged my iPod Classic 160g in all it says is it is an "unknown divice". It isn't Vista either as the same thing happens on XP Pro as well, so all I can think of is it is a error on the Classic itself. I just wish someone can help out so that I can use my ipod!!!! Come on Apple!!!! Solve this problem!!!!

  • Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

    For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
    I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop.  I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
    I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now.  It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
    This is what daily scenario is:
    When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get  internet access.  After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks.  The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
    Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
    I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
    I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also,  I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
    I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches. 

    FIOS is short for fiber optics.  fiber optics is different technology than DSL.   
    With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software.  AND they offer you a fix.

  • Problems with IS-H*Med and "Windows Vista"

    Hi all:
    I'm having problems with automatic installation of IS-H*Med using a computer with Windows Vista. It doesn't start. I must to install it manually, and when the user request the OCX, it hangs up.
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance and regards,
    Alejandro Gómez.
    P.D.:  Excuse my bad English.

    Hola Alejandro,
    could you please elaborate on your problem a little bit in detail?
    I suppose, you don't mean the SAP system itself, since as far as I know, it (the application server side) is not supporting Windows Vista at all.
    According to this <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/66971">SAP note 66971</a> only SAPGUI 7.10 supports Windows Vista. Do you use this version of SAPGUI?
    What does not start? SAPGUI? The planning grid?(Which is the only i.s.h.med specific OCX as far as I know).
    Did you open a customer support message for this?
    kind regards,
    anton wenzelhuemer

    Your suggestion worked perfectly.  I can't believe there is nothing in any of the instructions I have seen online at the Yahoo and Apple help sites about the making sure the right default account is checked.  I don't think I was even aware there was a "default account" setting.  Thank you so much.
