Zen V installation prob

Ive been trying to install my friends Zen V Plus to her laptop, but her operating system is windows 2000, it recognises that it is a Zen V Plus when u plug it in but i cant do anything else with it, the software disc will not autorun and i have managed to install a couple of the programs off the cd manually but the media player software cant find the Zen when it is plugged in, if anyone has any ideas what i can do i would be very appreciati've as i cant upgrade the laptop to windows xp as it is not upto date enough to cope with it. Cheers Kerry

odds are your copy of Windows isn't legal. If it's not you'll have to find a way to install SPa or so on your computer. I don't think there is a check for SP2 but I don't remember if you can install SP2 without SPa first.

Zen Micro Installation Prob

I just bought my green micro today and I tried to install it, but it didn't work. Everything went well until the actual installation part where I got numerous popups saying that _____ could not be registered. The only option I had was to press okay. After I just kept pressing okay (there were tons of these pops), the installation reached 00%. When I connected my micro, my computer did not recognize it and I could not open any of the programs installed. Please help! I have all the system requirements but it still doesn't work.
Thanks for your time!Message Edited by maddmagg on 0-22-2005 0:43 PM

Windows 2000 not supported by Zen Sleek installation softwar

I have Windows XP at home and MS 2000 at work. I was successful with the Zen Sleek installation software at home, but cannot get the sfotware to install on my work copmputer which is running Windows 2000. What's the deal? The requirements are listed as Windows 98/2000/ME/XP, but at the beginning of the installation, it stops with the message that the application will not run on this operating system.
And are there any other pitfalls to trying to run the Zen Sleek with two different operating systems? I was hoping to get my Zen Sleek to act as my MS Outlook calendar and contacts carrier when I want to travel light.

On your Windows XP computer if the Sleek is recognized as an MTP Device or you see the words MTP anywhere when it first got detected, or everytime when you connect it and a window appears with the words MTP on it, then this means that the Sleek will ONLY work on Windows XP. The software might say that it will work with 2000/98/Me, but it comes down to if the Sleek will work with those OS's.
So if you see the words MTP anywhere, then it wont work with anything but Windows XP.

Zen micro cd installation prob

hi i recently purchased a zen micro. when i try to install the software from the cd i pick the region and the language and then an error comes up saying the "demoshield player has encountered a problem and needs to close". this happens evry time and i have tried it on 2 differernt computers. has anyone experienced this and how did you fix it's

You can try downloading each individual piece of software required from the download page instead. You need the following:
. Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
2. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
3. Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource
Install . then connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 (which needs the player connected for verification) followed by 3.
You can also download Zen Micro Media Explorer as well.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60gp prob

Well, to start off with, I loved my mp3 player. So far, I ran into problems that I could not fix. I downloaded all of the updates that were needed. My mp3 player, a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60gb, suddenly would not work the same way. When the power adapter of battery are inserted, the player starts up. When they are pulled the player shuts down. One of the problems is when the player is on, it doesn't want to leave the main screen that says, "EAX". The hard dri've is not spinning, and no data is being accessed. I found on this website a page that tells users how to reset their mp3 player. For my mp3 player, it must be turned off for me to do a hard disk check, re-installation of operating system, or a format of the hard dri've...which is another problem, because I cannot turn it off. As I stated previously, the player is either on or off depending on if the battery is in or not. I am totally puzzeled. I cannot connect the player to the computer because of this problem. So either I have a new 60gb laptop hard dri've, or I figure out a way to get this to work. I haven't been able to find any threads like this or any users experiencing these problems.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-Matt

Ok... I think I figured it out. I finally got into the recovery mode. I let the battery sit out of the mp3 player for a while, hoping that there is a capacitor that would run out of power. I put the battery back in and got into recovery mode. I ran disk clean up. Nothing changed. I had the same problem I first started off with. So I took the battery out again for an hour. Came back, and got back into recovery mode. I reinstalled the OS. Everything seems to be working fine.
I hope that anyone having a similar problem with this mp3 player can keep this in the back of their mind if they cannot get into recovery mode due to a boot up and shut down problem.

FIX: Zen Micro Installer Error - "DemoShield Player has encountered an error.

I just thought I'd post a solution to a problem I was having with the Zen Micro Explorer software installation because it might help someone else. Also, this forum is well indexed by search engines so it will be easy for people to find. It took me well over an hour to track this down.
After starting the Zen Micro Explorer Installer CD, a full screen splash is shown of the creative logo and then DemoShield is started for the software install. It shows an intro screen where you must click 'Next,' on clicking next the DemoShield program was crashing with the generic Windows error "DemoShield encountered an error..." The problem appears to be a software conflict between DemoShield and Apple's QuickTime (any version as far as I know). Disabling the QuickTime startup entry does not help, installing in Safe Mode does not help and exiting any instance of QT in the system tray does not help either.
To fix the problem you must un-install the QuickTime software from your computer by going through the Add/Remove Programs screen in the Control Panel. Once un-installed, run the Creative installer CD again, this time it will run correctly. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the install.
<i>Please note that if you have installed iTunes on your system it will not run while QuickTime is uninstalled, this is normal. Re-installation of QuickTime is covered later in this post.</i>
When you have completed the install and restarted your computer you can re-install QuickTime. At the time of writing (4th Sept 2005) QuickTime and iTunes are bundled in one download package so you must download both. You can <a href='http://www.apple.com/QuickTime/download/' target=_blank>get the bundle here[/url]. Let it download and run the installer. If you already have iTunes installed, the installer will 'Repair' your installation, detecting that QT is missing it will re-install. If you do not have iTunes the installer will installer iTunes and QuickTime.
When you have completed the QuickTime+iTunes install you have got around the DemoShield issue. I hope this of use to anybody with a similar problem.Message Edited by PhilM on 09-5-2005 02:30 AM

Hi Jeremy,
I knew it was an issue with QuickTime because I clicked on 'Send Error Report' on the error message and it took me to <a href='http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?SGD=0b73e24-7433-4ee-ac4c-49956d08c85c&SID=623' target=_blank>this page[/url]. It states "An analyst at Microsoft has investigated this problem and determined that an unknown error occurred in QuickTime Player. This software was created by Apple Computer, Inc.."
My QuickTime version is 7.0.2. My operating system is WIndows XP Home (Athlon 64; 52Mb RAM)
Eventually I just tried uninstalling QuickTime and it wroked after I did that. Some screenshots: <a href='http://www.phantomphil.co.uk/ZM/' target=_blank>Click[/url]
The contents of my disk.id file reads:
Creative Zen Micro

Hope this hel

Zen Micro Installation help...please

I just got a 5 gig Zen Micro. All was well until I attempted to install the program in the computer, which led to "Error code -600", which told me to clear my temp folder and check my internet connections. I have a cable connection, windows XP, and Norton antivirus. Does this have anything to do with my problem? If not, what am I doing wrong?
please, someone, help. I'm about to ritually disassemble my micro.
thanks and happy holidays
-CmF

ok i found the problem.
after a few hours of googling i found that the error is caused by an outdated version of windows installer.
to fix this problem on your computer find the folder
C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield
and rename it to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield-old
and then run your install again that should fix your problem

Zen Micro Installation P

Hi,
I have a Zen Micro and am currently away and would like to play my zen through my friends laptop. However, my installation cd is at home and I can't find it on the download page (unless i don't know what i'm doing !).
Can someone post a link to the installation or point me in the right direction ?\
cheers pezza

Hi Pezza,
You didn't mention which firmware you have on the player, check that first.
If it's version .x - get these files from our Downloads page, and install them in the same order as listed:
Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03 - JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.EXE
Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 - CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe
Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource - CMS_PJB3_PCApp_LB_2_00_20.exe
If the firmware is version 2.x, then you can get the second file from that list (MediaSource), and get this plugin:
Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) - CMS_PCMTP_LB__00_8.exe
And Windows Media Player 0 from Microsoft's site.
You can get all the blue updates from our Downloads page, just select the Zen Micro in the list and it will show you all the files that are available.

Zen Micro installation problem - file "data2.cab" neede

Hey
Trying to install my Zen micro software when it says, " Please insert dist that contains the file data2.cab"
I have the installation CD so why is file not on it'sDan

It might be a problem with the CD, but it sounds an odd error to get.
You can of course download the latest drivers and software from the download page for your player, so this is probably the best workaround as well as getting the latest software.

I successfully loaded 3.20.72 overtop of MediaSource 2, then loaded 3.20.78. I noticed that they have 3.30.04 listed, but when I loaded it my system didn't appear to update.
I remember their sound card mediasource will only install if you have a creative sound card in your computer. I don't think it will install for people who don't have their sound card.

Win 7 installation probs

Info, first.
Toshiba Satellite L775-S7114 (big box v. of L775-S7111). Win 7 installed.
Now, onto the history (condensed version):
Had HDD probs (laptop kept shutting down out of the blue). Tried to restore HDD to factory defaults (on board recovery). During recovery laptop shut down. Started getting "bootmgr.exe missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart." Would restart in HDD recovery mode and continued getting same message.
Ordered the recovery media from Toshiba. Didn't work until I installed Win 8 (free OS only version from MS with purchase of this laptop), then used recovery media to factory default back to Win 7. But found out prob was a bad fan. Fan replaced. Found out, then, bad sector on HDD. Bought new HDD from Toshiba (correct P/N for this model). Installed....
Now the bigger picture/problem:
New HDD will not install either OS. Win 7 (recovery media) or Win 8 (OS only). Been trying for months now.... all kinds of workarounds and tricks I can find/think of to get it to install. Been on the phone with Toshiba support toooooo many times with ZERO help or satisfaction. Sooooooo....
Got a wild idea and curious if someone can help me figure out how to do it. Was thinking that if I can connect the new HDD externally to the laptop, that I can somehow manage to install Win 7 (recovery media) to it. Hell, I'll even accept Win 8 (OS only) installation, because I can then install Win 7 in it's place.
I may not be relating this thought in a clear way to the forum, so I'll explain further. Currently the bad HDD is working on this laptop, albeit in a very limited fashion. Every so often it dies, and I have to use the onboard HDD recovery to get it back to running. I would like to externally connect the new HDD (correct one for this laptop model) to this laptop, use the CD-ROM drive to transfer the Win 7 (recovery media), or the Win 8 (OS only) to the new HDD "THROUGH" this laptops CD-ROM drive.
Can this be done? Or would I have to transfer all the data from the Win 7 recovery media disks -or- the Win 8 OS only disc to a USB to transfer it? I'm really not sure how to accomplish this task. But, I am at wits end, as I have sunk a TON of money into trying to repair/rework this laptop (I really like it) to no avail. I can't find a new laptop with the features this one has for anywhere near a reasonable price.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
All my best to the forum, and thanx in advance.
Nawlins Jeaux

After holding down the option key after starting up, I tried EFI Boot, and the machine just booted into Mac OS X. I restarted again, and I selected Windows from the Win 7 DVD. After whirring a bit, a black screen said the following:

2.
Select CD-ROM boot type.
Please help! Peace.
