Zen V Plus Display Window Sym

hello board, My husband surprised me with a new Zen V Plus to listen to audio books. Everything seems to be working ok but all of a sudden there is a new "symbol" in the upper right hand corner of the display window that looks like two circular arrows with a next to them. Can anyone tell me what this is What did I do to make it appear How can I make it go away Thanks to all DJ

I don't have the Zen V Plus but the sign pretty much seems like 'Repeat Track' or something.
What you can do is to go to click the Menu button then go to 'Play Mode' and select 'Normal'. That should solve your problem.

  • Zen V Plus under Windows 2

    ?Somebody bought me a new Zen V Plus, but unfortunately I'm using Windows 2000. Windows XP doesn't have enough new features to interest me and I'm concerned more about stability anyway, so I probably won't upgrade my OS for a few more years. In the meantime, I'd like to use the Zen in some way. Even if I can't load all the supporting utility software from the accompanying CD, there should be some way for me to be able to just copy files from my hard disk to the Zen's file system and play them. That in itself would be a quantum leap over having no MP3 player at all.
    However, the V Plus does not look like a little hard disk to Windows, so I can't use Explorer to copy the files. As far as I have been able to learn, the V Plus uses flash memory and Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), which is supported in Windows Media Player 0 (which is only supported under Windows XP).
    HOWEVER ... Microsoft recently released a Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit -- see http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsmed...s/default.aspx -- to add MTP support to WMP 9, the last one that worked under Windows 2000. But it's not easy to set up. After installing it and reading the Readme-Redist.txt file, you run MTP9x-2k.exe, which installs the following files:? - %windir%/System32/drivers
    ?? - wpdusb9x.sys (Windows 98SE or Windows ME)
    ???OR wpdusb.sys (Windows 2000)
    ? - %windir%/System32
    ?? - mtpiusb.dll
    ?? - mtpsmgr.exe
    ?? - mtpistb.dll
    ?? - mtpsp.dll
    ? - %windir%/Inf
    ?? - wpdmtp.inf?But then you have to edit a .inf file to describe the attributes of your player. This is beyond my technical ability.
    Am I right to think that I can get basic MP3 player use from the V Plus just by installing the MTP Porting Kit, or do I really need to upgrade to Windows XP?<
    If the Porting Kit will work, can anybody help me write a .inf file that will be correct for the V Plus?<
    Thanks for your help!

    I really wish I could help you but I am in the same situation about this driver. I dont know whether to cry or eat my own mp3 player :[, cause in order to use it'sI?even bought an external har dri've to install xp and then realised is not even possible.So?I guess the solution?are:?to create a backup of your important documents and install windows xp,borrow a friends computer?or resell your mp3 player because you can not even charge it whithout the drivers intalled. But I wont give up :]Message Edited by elenka on 0-9-200703:33 PM

  • Zen V Plus Display Doesn't Update Total Number of Fi

    Hi everyone.
    I have the Zen V Plus 4 GB unit, and I'm using Vista Home Premium.
    I've encountered a problem I haven't been able to solve.
    I loaded ,036 audio files onto the unit, using the Media Explorer.
    That worked fine.
    I then disconnected the Zen V Plus from my computer, and listened to it for a few minutes.
    Then, I hooked it back up and added 55 more tracks to it.
    Here's the problem: The display should say of ,09 but it still says of ,036.
    The 55 new tracks are definitely loaded on the unit.
    Shouldn't the number on the display have increased when I added more files?
    Here's what I did after noticing the display didn't change:
    I went to the Creative web site and downloaded the MP3 Player Recovery Tool, which basically just updates the firmware.
    The firmware on the unit is now .5.03_0.05.09.
    Next, I formatted the Zen, hoping the firmware would resolve the issue.
    This time, I added only 00 tracks, then tried adding another 00.
    Media Explorer said there were 200 tracks on the unit, but the display showed only 00.
    So, my next step was to format and start all over again, using the Sync Manager.
    The same problem, again.
    Bottom line: Although I can incrementally add music files to the Zen, the display doesn't update.
    Is this a known problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome it's
    (I mean, excluding formatting my computer and reinstalling Vista and the Creative software, which might be my next step.)
    Thank you! J. Danniel

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have a tagging program, but I neglected to mention is exclusi'vely use WMA format. That doesn't matter.
    There are no duplicate files, because I check that before uploading to the unit.
    I've figured out a few ways to solve this problem, though. One way is to create a playlist. The Zen displays the correct file count this way.
    Another way is to select files via album, artist, or genre, and THEN go back to All Tracks.

  • Zen V plus - display. I'm despera

    I'm begging for help. I got a zen v plus, about?two months ago. I loved it, it almost seemed too good to be true,?but just several weeks after I got it, the display just died. First it was incredibly hard to see, and there were strange lines across it, the colors were messed up, etc. I could only see bits and pieces of it if the room I was in was pitch black. It still played fine, so I put up with it for about a week. Eventually, There was literally no visibility whatsoever, and?I could get nothing to work. I've tried resetting it, I've tried charging it, nothing. I'm out of ideas.
    I'm not exchanging any more. I have had a?zen micro, which froze and would not turn on,?two zen vision: M's, the first of which the screen messed up, with every other line of pixels visible, the second of which kept freezing, and sounded like it had a loose part inside, and eventually stopped turning on.
    No creative product of mine has lasted more than several months. If?I cant get this working, and there's nothing I can do to fix it, I think?I'm giving up on creative ?. I'm really dissappointed. For the first few weeks of having the zen V plus, I thought that it was great, and unlike both the zen micro and the zen vision: M, I had no initial problems, so I was really hopeful for this one. Alas, rather suddenly, and unexpectedly, this happened. I tried searching online to see if others had a similar problem, and it seemed like it wasn't uncommon. However, I could find no solutions. If there is anything I can do, I would be?extremely thankful if someone would help me. Or maybe some things just are too good to be true? Well, thanks. ~A Concerned User

    Heh, well at least I'm not alone. Thanks for the explanation daytona, though?I can't say it was the response?I was hoping for :smileysurprised: . From what I've seen, it seems to have that clause in the warrenty because all of their products break, inevitably.
    It's a way to have less people returning their items, saving them more money. It's also possible that countries don't accept the warranty from other countries, as valid, but less likely, as creative is really only one branch, and it is an international business. Though, the most likely is, the stupid american salespeople can't read japanese, and don't want people just putting some charactors on a sheet and calling it a warranty... back on topic. I really love the creative products, theyre amazing, save the fact that they seem to be horribly manufactured. They have great capabilities, great features, and are all around just... great. But in my opinion it's not worth it to have to replace it every two weeks. I guess it is too good to be true.
    In fact I just got a new computer, and I could really use the portable flash dri've capability of one of the zens'... What daytona said makes sense, and is basically what I expected. I didn't come here with high hopes of fixing it. But I'll li've. I gotta say, I used to show off my creative [insert product(s)?here] to all my friends, and show them all the features and cool stuff that ipods don't have. Looks like that's changing, I don't want to, and can't really show off and?reccommend a product that breaks profusely. Well, this is actually rather awkward, being on the creative board and all...
    At least now I know the problem. Still, if anyone has anything that helped them with their self destructing device, feel free to tell me/us. I hope your second V turns out okay daytona!? Keep us posted (pun very intended).
    ?Edit: The only slightly strange thing is though, the screen, after the lines and everything, just sort of faded away. It got darker and darker over a period of about a week and a half, until there was nothing left visible, and I don't mean the backlight, I mean the resolution, everything, it was essentially a black screen. Just feels like that doesn't fit.Message Edited by Seventhpenguin on 03-06-200706:56 PM

  • Zen V Plus Issue: Windows won't recognize

  • Zen V Plus Display Prob

    Hi
    Recently i bought a Zen VP, unfortunetly after 3 days of use, the screen started to display two horizontal lines of black pixels, so i returned it to store. It was sent to repair under warranty.
    Three weeks have passed since then, and about two days ago i went to store to collect it. They have sent me a new player, and everything seemed be working fine! But, today a vertical black line appeared in the left side of the screen. My question is. Is this normal in the Creative players? And does anyone else has this kind of problem?
    Thank you.

    It is not normal, you should leave your player for repair again, use your guarantee as many times as you need, I think you have been a little bit unlucky but they are great players!

  • Zen V Plus display problem

    Everything was greate... Yesterday I listen music on my Zen. Now when i turn on player display is so dark - just like 0% or 20% contrast but in preferecies value of contrast is 00%. I can listen music without any problems, but to saw something on display is really hard.
    What should i do? I have my player just 9 months...

    There does seem to be a common failure mode with the ZVP display going dark - there are quite a lot of posts on this forum about it.
    Just to make sure it is faulty - when you switch on, if the 'Creative' start up screen is also dark - it is almost certainly faulty.
    If the start up screen is about 80% brightness, and then the display goes dark, the settings are probably screwed up somehow.
    If it's faulty there is nothing you can do - try customer services. The phone number is in the Support directory on the CD that shipped with the player.
    Sorry it's not good news...

  • Zen V Plus Display Is

    my display all of the sudden bacame very dim and red colored i tried reinstalling the firmware but no luck any help would be appreciated

    If the Creative start-up screen (when you switch on) is dim & discoloured, it is probably a hardware fault with the display.

  • Zen Nano Plus will not play all trac

    My Nano Plus will not playback all tracks installed.My Firmware has been updated to .0.03I have formated the Nano Plus via Windows Explorer.
    Tracks have been transferred via Windows Media Player 0 AND Creative MediaSource Organizer 3.30.2 with the same problem. The NanoPlus Mass
    Storage Driver has been updated, too. I have tried it on both a desktop AND a notebook PC. The transferred tracks are combinations of WMA and MP3. Both played and unplayed tracks are a combination of
    WMA-protected, WMA-nonprotected, and MP3, 28/59/60/92kbps -
    nothing unique about the tracks that will not play.
    The tracks have either been ripped from my audio CDs or downloaded via Media Player MSN Music store or MP3 store. I have licensed all tracks and they all play via Windows MediaPlayer and Creative MediaSource Player from my hardri've.
    All tracks show up on the Zen Nano Plus in windows explorer and will play from the NanoPlus via Media Player and Creative MediaSource player, but they will not all play through the NanoPlus.
    All problem tracks (if transferred via
    MediaSource) will either be skipped or the NanoPlus will pause when the NanoPlus is playing or they simply are not
    visible (if transferred via MediaPlayer0).
    The problem tracks are not always the same tracks after I have re-transferred them (I have tired 4
    times to clean/re-transfer tracks). I have 8 tracks and only 36 will play.When transferred via Windows MediaPlayer0, the tracks are organized into multiple folders.When transferred via Creative MediaSource, they are all in the root directory.
    What can I do to get this to work properly?

    That may be it!
    My tracks have been transferred with WMP0 into the following Folder structure:
    MUSIC-AUTHOR-ALBUM-Tracks.
    In Explorer/MediaSource, there is One MUSIC folder containing 65 AUTHOR folders containing 74 ALBUM folders containg 85 Tracks.
    My Zen Nano Plus MENU-MUSIC display shows only 3 Folders -- 3 ALBUM Folders of 36 Tracks -- the tracks that do playback.
    Is this just an organizational problem?
    If so, it's not very handy to Sync....there is nothing in the manual that explains this!
    I'll re-organize and see.
    What is the best FOLDER structure to use?

  • Zen Nano Plus transfer prob

    Am having trouble transferring .wma files to my Zen Nano Plus even though it has 590MB free. When I try to transfer anything using Creative Source I keep getting a "transfer error" message. Have tried reorganising files into folders to cut down on memory used in the root folder - but it doesn't seem to help. It's even stopped letting me transfer between folders. Has anyone else had this problem.. Anyone know what to do??

    I'm having the exact same problem with my Nano Plus, and I've only had it for a little over 3 months. I contacted technical support and they told me to download the Firmware update and gave me these directions:
    Zen Nano Plus Firmware Update:
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?Product=2720&dlcentric=9423&Product_ Name=ZEN+Nano+Plus&OSName=Windows+XP
    To install this firmware upgrade, do the following:
    - Connect your player to your computer.
    - Double-click the firmware upgrade file.
    - When prompted to set your player in Recovery mode, disconnect your player from your computer.
    - Press and hold the Play button while connecting your player to your computer's USB port.
    - Continue to hold the Play button for about 0 seconds after connecting your player to your computer.
    - Release the Play button when the "Find New Hardware" dialog box appears on the computer screen.
    - Follow the instructions on the screen to install recovery drivers for your player.
    - Double-click the firmware upgrade file and follow the instructions on the screen. Ensure to select the "Format Data Area" option within the Update.
    However, at step 6 my computer did not recognize my player with it being on and neither did the Firmware. I responded to Technical Support and told them this. They said it seemed like it needed repaired or replaced! Even though there is a -year warranty, there is only a 3 month labor warranty, which means if you send it in to get fixed and it has passed the 3-month labor warranty, you have to pay a $24.95 diagnostics and handling fee. If you're in this situation, they said the best thing to do is try to exchange it wherever you bought it first. I hope this helps!

  • WMP won't recognize Zen V Plus

    I have a Creative Zen V Plus and Windows Media Player doesn't recognize it. It shows up in device manager and as a seperate dri've when I plug it into the USB.
    I have updated all firmware, re-booted the mp3 player, checked that all USB ports have power, re-installed the software and downlaoded Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6. for Windows Vista. All of which did nothing.
    The Customer Support at Creative says it is a windows issue, HP says it's a Creative issue. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
    Thanks.
    Neil

    After switching from Win XP to Vista I needed a new way to organize playlists on my Zen V Plus, and I just could not get used to Windows Media Player. Then I discovered MediaMonkey, and to me it is *so* much more intuiti've. I am using it mostly for podcasts, but it looks like it does just everything, and it is free.

    Well, I have the following problem:
    Well for some reason my ZEN Nano Plus keeps showing the Creative logo, i just can be turned off by removing the battery. I tried the updater from the website (already using latest firmware).

  • Zen Nano Plus softw

    it's not very hard to read, that Zen Nano Plus supports Windows 98 se...but it's much harder to use all the Creative software on this platform. Actually, you can't even install Creative media Explorer etc...why is that?
    One more thing, some dust got under the LCD's cover of my ZNP. Any idea how to get rid of it's

    Hi,I was afraid of that.
    That stinks.
    This player is severely handicapped for what I need it for then. I wish I realized that before I bought it.

  • Zen V Plus sync of playlists from Windows Media Player

    I am using automatic sync on windows media player 0 to my Zen V plus. The music is transferring, but I do not see the playlists being shown on the Zen player. Any ideas how to get them to sync as well so I don't have to build them on the player?

    After trying things out for a while, I found that when you sync using Windows Media Player, the playlists selected will be on the Zen V plus screen for you to select. It will not display on the folders that list on the Windows Media Player display. I don't know why, but the important thing is that the playlists do end up on the Zen V plus so that you can select and play them.
