Zen V Plus - Media Explorer not detecti

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been posted somewhere along the lines. If it has sorry.
Anyway, my problem is I have my V plus attached to my PC I have it turned on and it says it's docked.
But my Media Explorer and other various Media Sync programs won't detect it.
It shows up in My Computer as a Portable Device but that doesn't really help me that much.
I can transfer files onto it the old fashioned way of dragging and dropping but i'd really like the convenience of the Media Explorer.
If anyone could provide me with a solution to this I would be quite greatful.Message Edited by Konis on 04-6-200702:24 PM

Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for administra

Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for the administrator account; for other users the message "The Zen Nano Plus is not connected. Please connect your Zen Nano Plus to the computer." is displayed, but it *is* connected and works under other programs.
Version is .0.03.
Thanks for any assistance.

How exactly do you do this? I checked this out tonight - when I logged onto my PC using my son's Limited User account (XP Home, BTW) I could connect his N200 and see it in Device Manager and Windows Explorer but both Creative pieces of software (CMS and N200 Media Explorer) did not see that it was there!
I tried setting the Run As... properties for the CTMS.exe file to run as one of the Admin user accounts but kept getting an error about being unable to find a specific file (which is in the Media Explorer folder!). When I went back to using the current user the error stopped. Perhaps I need to set the Run As.. options on that file as well?
As we don't use DRM'd music this isn't going to be a problem but it would be good to find out the cause of this once and for all.
I'm going to see if WMP0 has problems as well or if it's just the Creative ap

Zen Micro Media Explorer Not Detect

I just downloaded the new ZM FW the other day. I just noticed today that my Zen Micro Media Explorer doesn't detect my device. Any ideas?

No, it's not that version as such.
As mentioned you need to go to the download page (Nomadworld.com downloads). Select the Zen Micro. On the resulting list of files the one I mentioned should be listed. This is what you need to download as it has specific MTP support.

MSI ENJOY 10 PLUS, Media USB not Detected in CPU (HELP)

Try to use another cable to see if the problem comes from the cable.
Also, you can try to insert the straighten paperclip to the reset hole and plug the AC adapter to power on the tablet again.

Zen Micro Media Explorer not working

Recently I purchased a new PC. winxp. My zen worked just fine on my old PC. I installed my zen and the media explorer. When I launch the Zen Micro Media Explorer everything is grayed out. I cant click on anything. Windows media explorer shows my zen, but the Zen Micro Media Explorer is just all gray. I have FW version .3. I figued I would upgrade the FW and when I try upgading, it says the zen is not plugged in. I need to edit my playlists and I cant get into the media explorer. help!

I'm having exactly the same problem with my Creative Zen Touch 40 gB - a couple of months ago I had to re-instal windows and manage to re-install MediaSource and all the Audigy and Creative Zen drivers and they all worked together nicely. I've now upgraded the motherboard and processor, re-installed windows and cannot get mediasource to see my device. I've tried intslling the plays-for-sure software suite and it says it can't see my device and to check that the firmware is updated to PFS devices, which it is. I've tried the updated drivers, updated mediasource, uninstalled the device and re-installed it and nothing works. I'm running Windows XP Professional which has been updated with all the critical updates and also runs Media PLayer .
I know this doesn't help the previous poster, but if anyone else can help, that'd be fab.

Creative Zen Vision M Media Explorer does not work on Vi

I plugged in my device, all I can see was the name of the device under Portable Devices.
When I access Media Explorer, it said my device is not connect but in fact it actually is.
If I copy a file via Portable Devices, it automatically freezes up my computer.
Any idea how to resolve this problem?
Best regards,

You should be able to use WMP 2 to sync your files to the player . As long as the files have album art it will transfer. You can not add the album art to files that are already one the player .You would have to delete & then sync the files that have the art. Also You may be able to use the Zen Vision M Explorer for Vista on the Win7 just install using compatibilty mode for Vista (if Win7 has that as an option) there was one written for 64 bit systems as well as 32 bit. You can tell which is which by the file name. 64 is in the file name for a 64bit system/ 32 in the 32 bit system file name.http://support.creative.com/Products...VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_433,VARSET=CategoryID:23 Click on View all Downloads

ZEN VISION M SERIES MEDIA EXPLORER NOT WORKING ON WINDOWS 7

Recently installed the much hyped windows 7. Installed my zen vision m. Everything is ok except media explorer is not working from the shortcut on the desktop or i can't find the exe in the creative folder file to get it started. All i get is "this filse does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.please install a program or,if one is already installed,create an association in the default programs control panel "
i can access the music & picture files as a hard drive folder.
Anyone any ideas?

My experience has been that the original software that came on CD with the Visionn M is not compatible with my new 64 bit Windows 7 OS but that the updated version availabloe for free download on the support site does work just fine. My remaining frustration (which appears unresolvable) is that unlike the original, the "new and improved" media explorer from the website?will only rip to WMA format and does not offer the MP3 option that was the core of the original program. I think this is incomprehensible and reprehensible for a device that is sold as an "MP3 player". I did not intentionally?buy an expensi've "WMA player" but thanks to Creative, I guess I ended up with one. I have bought literally a dozen Creative media players over the years for friends and family but this makes me so angry that I will never buy another.

Micro media explorer not recognizing zen micro, organizer and Windows does.

I recently purchased a Micro 6, did all program installs. etc. and could never get it to work properly, exchanged it for another, had all the problems to get it recognized by Windows etc. and through this site, managed to get compatable with zen organizer and windows media player0, but the micro media explorer refuses to see it! I checked the registry and noticed that the two units are registered there (usb), could that be the problem, and if so ,how do I correct it's
It seems to me that I uninstalled the first unit, that this not clear the registry of it also?
Thanks in advance.

I have KINDA the same problem. The Zen Media Explorer doesn't reconize my device and I don't know HOW to make lists etc in the MediaSource Organizer (is there any tutorial f?r it or something? i need lots of help there.. how to make lists and how to get em into the Zen).
I've had to copy / paste music to my zen manually.. which takes longer than necessary and I can't make fancy lists etc.. Help would be very appreciated :/
Oh, and I have version 2..02 if that makes any diffrence.
Thanks.

Zen Micro Media Explorer not sorting alphabetica

I just had this problem ever since I installed the 2.20.05 firmware. I backed up all my music in a folder, I chose detailed view and usually when I click on those buttons on top that says Artist, Size, Name, etc. They arrange it from A-Z or Z-A. Zen Micro Media Explorer didn't do this for me, I clicked on Arist and everything gets mixed up. Also I have lost my Genre in all of my music during the process of backing up. It made it harder for me to sort my music back together.
And the weirdest thing is that Creative Mediasource properly sorted my music from A-Z just like how it looks like under Windows Explorer. But under the Zen Micro Media Explorer, it still doesn't display correctly.
Any reasons why this is happening?

^^ I also have the same issue, but only with one of my two microphotos. I first noticed it when I was trying to update my firmware. My first player worked perfectly, the second one always tells me that my player is disconnected (yes i've jiggled the cables and such). It then tells me that my player is not compatible with creative media explorer. Trouble is both players had the same firmware as i bought them at the same time, but one doesn't work while the other does.

Zen V Plus 4gb Power On/Detection Is

I bought a Zen V Plus 4gb player on Tuesday (December 3st, 2007) when my old Zen V gb died (and it was out of warranty).
I bought this out of familiarity with Creative V series players, and my experiances with them have been positi've so far.
However, when I first put music on the player (I had the software installed beforehand)...about 2.5 gigs into transferring the music, the computer stops recognizing that the Zen V Plus is there. When I checked the actual Zen V Plus, I noticed it was frozen so I pressed the reset button.
The player tried to rebuild the library, and it froze again after maybe 30% progress. I waited around ten minutes, I reset the player again, only to have it then freeze on the "Creative" start up screen, and after waiting another ten minutes (after a lifetime working with computers I have learned patience is a very valuable tool in troubleshooting) I hit the reset button again.
Now, the computer refuses to recognize anything other than the chipset on the player, (its a model number of SMTP3600). I have tried almost every fix here, yet still cant get my player to work.
In addition to the player not being detected, I have the problem of it refusing to turn on. When I hold down the power button to turn it on, the play/pause and back lights blink without the player turning on. I have tried charging it using other USB charging equipment (with the usb cord it came with), without effect. I have tried leaving my computer on for several hours to charge it, with no effect. The charging indicator doesn't even show up..because the screen doesn't work.
Does anyone have a solution to this before I exchange it and buy a different mp3 player?

If you have not already, try the recovery tool to see if it hel
ps.
If that does not work, it's best to contact support for further assistance on the issue.

Media Explorer not open

I just got my ZVM and all the other bundled software works well but when i try to use the media explorer i get a windows error (DEP error). I've uninstalled and reinstalled and downloaded all the updates still nothing, can anyone please help
Yes i've searched the forums for the answer to this but it couldnt find it
Thanks

From the Nomadness FAQs, linked from this board's FAQs, an item on connection problems that applies to your situation:
"In Device Manager with the Zen connected delete it from the device listing. Physically disconnect the Zen from the USB cable, reset it, then reconnect to the PC to see if it is detected properly."
If that doesn't work, read the FAQs and try the other things listed there and in the Nomadness FAQs.

Zen micro..media explorer prob

I downloaded the latest firmware : Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware update 2.2.02 for my zenmicro.. it is working fine but now, the zen micro media explorer does not recognise the mp3 player despite it being plugged in..even if the player is being charged through the computer's usb port.. is anyone else experiencing the same thing? any ways to solve this?..thanks in advance..=]

The message comes from Windows when a USB 2.0 device is conencted to a .0/. USB port.
The device itself is 2.0 but is also backwards compatible with ., not with .0 however.
If you can otherwise use it then your port is ., if it don't work at all then you have .0.
As for MediaSource I would suggest uninstalling it completely, rebooting and clean installing directly the latest version.
However I THINK I read somewhere that MediaSource NEEDS for the device to be connected through a 2.0 port in order to correctly stream audio or sth so this may be why you can't use it...
Eitherway I would suggest buying a USB 2.0 PCI expansion card, it doesn't cost much (about 0-5$).
Hope that helped.
Cheers!Message Edited by Keyper7 on 02-26-200608:32 PM

Hopefully you don't have 2GB worth of files loaded but I'd try a reset which is destructi've of the contents. The reset button is on the side of the Zen stone plus.Message Edited by Spete on 2-02-200705:52 PM
