ZEN vision M not detected by the

hi. i posted a message earlier. now i have installed all the softwares, window XP service pack 2. but unfortunately i still have the same problem, PC saying that '' a high speed USB device is connected to a slow speed USB port '' and the player cannot be detected.
the minimum system requirements for the product is '' USB . port (USB 2.0 recommended for faster transfer) ''. so even if i dont have a USB 2.0 port, there shouldnt be a problem, right?
i am really frustrated, cant do anything with my new toy. please help

Duplicate post (I answered in the thread, and it's better to keep a problem within the same thread rather than creating a new thread)

  • Zen vision M not detected by softw

    I have had my zen vision for a while and it worked fine but when i went to install windows media player the update for wmp failed and then the player was no longer detected so i tried uninstalling and reinstalling windows media player 0 and i also reinstalled all the creative software but still it isn't detected.
    I have the latest firmware and I have tried changing permissions for the usb in the registry. The weird thing is that the zen vison M appears in the device manager under windows portable devices and it doesn't have an exclamation mark beside it or anything so it is working fine. However no program is able to detect it zen vision m media explorer, winamp, real player, media monkey,windows media player all give the same messsage that no device is detected. Whenever I plug it into the computer the option box comes up asking me what i want to do sync using media monkey/windows media player/ creative media source etc but when i select an option it opens the program and it says the player is not detected, which is extremely weird given that windows seemed to detect it a few seconds before and bring up the appropriate options. The charging icon appears on the screen and it charges but the docked screen never comes up. I think it is probably the software. I am running out of things to try and any suggestions would be appreciated.
    I have been to the downloads page for it but i cant install the new creative media source as i get a message saying no player detected but i have installed all the newest software other than this.
    I think my software is seriously screwed up although then again it might be the player Im not sure.Message Edited by aaahhhh on 0-08-200704:00 PM

    Been Fiddling with it all day and now I finally managed to get windows media player installed i go into device manager and there is an exclamation mark beside the player but when i go to update driver i get the message class installer has denied the request to install or upgrade this device. I'm not sure if this is progress but at least something has happened.
    PS i had the latest firmware installed before i installed wmp so this is not my problem.Message Edited by aaahhhh on 0-09-200702:44 PM

  • Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging

    (Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging( Hi, I recently bought a refurbished ZVM that doesnt seem to charging properly. When I first got it, it hadnt been charged in quite some time so the battery was overdead. My PC couldnt detect it when I connected it via usb and it didnt even start charging at all. I then connected it to a wall charger and it finally started charging. The strange thing is it never fully charges. I've charged it twice now, both times for at least about 2 hours, and the battery doesnt go more than 50%. And when I connect it to my PC to transfer songs, instead of resuming its charge, my battery runs out. Is this a case of a faulty battery? I li've in Australia and I bought it from the USA. I would prefer not to go through the trouble of returning it if I could. Anything I should do like leaving it to charge for an even longer time? Also one more thing I should mention. When I remove the wall charger and plug it back in, it takes the ZVM sometime to detect it, about 30 minutes or so, and start charging again. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem. I just mailed mine in for repair today.

  • Zen Vision M not connecting

    ?I've searched through everything I could find here and tried them all, to no avail. Here's what's happened. My Zen Vision M (30 Gb) wouldn't start when connected to 3 different PCs I use it with. I figured it needed firmware update or something, so I tried that, but all update tools say I need to connect the Zen. I tried clean up and formatting all to no avail. Same not connected issue. Then I searched through the forum and saw the exclamation point in device manager issue, so I uninstalled and then plugged it back in. No more exclamation point and it shows up in device manager, but none of the firmware update options recognize the Zen is connected (or Media Player 0 or ). Device manager says it's operating fine, but Zen Media Explorer, MP3 recovery tool, and Media player do not recognize it as connected. Since it's older, all Creative said was EOSL... Are there things I haven't tried?

    Re: Zen Vision M not connecting,Thanks, I had thought I'd tried everything, but as it turns out, one laptop I was using that I thought had Media Player 0 had . I don't think my player was ever exposed to 0, but I rolled back one on a laptop to 0 and then tried the firmware updater I had saved on that laptop and it worked! I'm back in business!? Now am reloading about 25 Gb of music, but that's a pain I can deal with. I tried the different cords and as for OS, one is Vista, one XP Media Center, and one XP. All are up-to-date with service packs etc. I had just updated Norton 360 and I read somewhere that it can mess up USB ports, so that may have started all the fun. In the end, thanks to all in these forums as I never would have thought of rolling back Media Player and the other things I did. Kudos to all....

  • Creative Zen Vision M (30gb) - Is it the end?

    Hi all,
    I've read a lot of posts and think the only way to find a possible solution to my problem is to just post it....
    I've had my Creative Zen Vision M (30gb) for about?2.5 years, apart from crashing a few times, I've always loved it and would never go near Ipod!
    Lately however it's done something, that it has done before which is to suddenly 'remove' about 2000 tracks, it would go funny, crash and reset a few times, recharge with the plug and it was fine again, the tracks 'reappeared'.
    Now it seems when it happened this recent time, 3000 tracks went and I was left with about 000. So i tried formatting everything cause it just wouldn't rectify itself, then I chose to reload the firmware but everytime I tried to connect it to my laptop it would say my player wasn't connected.
    I have recently baught a new laptop with Windows 7 and even without the software it detects it fine and I think I could just drag music over to it now. BUT - It only has 50mb of memory! Plsu MP3 Recovery Tool and online detection firmware thingy justy doesn't think my player is connected or says cannot update firmware on windows 7?
    So my questions?are - how do i fix it's Is my memory fried, would it be worth getting out the old laptop? Where do i go if i want to repair it's Even if it detects it in XP, the software doesn't detect the player.
    Can anyone shine any light here? Am I forced to buy another Creative product or do I jump ship?

    If the XP computer has WMP installed it may not detect the player (the firmware file) It works best on XP /SP2 WMP0 installed. The issue with WMP is a sticky in the MP3 players forum.

  • Zen Vision M: Artist tags (recognizing "the&quo

    Not a major problem, but it would be great if someone knows something you can download to the Creative Zen Vision:M so that it detects when there is the word "the" at the beginning of the Artist Name tag and ignore.
    That way, when it lists out artists all the bands that start with "the" will not be pushed together and towards the end.
    Anybody know a way to get around this?
    Thanks

    Ah yes... The old word "The" in artist name request. This is a request that CL has had a few times over the years. I know the first time I requested it was back in Nov 2004;http://forums.americas.creative.com/....id=2735#M2735Most other brand software figured out how to do this years ago, but for whatever reason CL likes to have "The Beatles" under "T" instead of under "B" where it goes.

  • ZEN Vision:M problem selecting from the men

    Just like the title says, I'm having trouble accessing any of the menus(photos,videos,extras, etc..) from the menu on my ZEN Vision:M. I've tried pressing the touchpad to select a menu option but no luck, I've also tried just pressing the "right" button to enter a sub menu but no luck. I can scroll up and down in the menu and if a song is playing I can also adjust the volume but its like i have no option to select. I downloaded the newest version of firmware by my model, I've tried formating the player but still stuck with the same problem.
    Also, when in recovery mode I cant select any of the options listed in the menu.
    I just bought this Device from DELL.com w/ Extended Service Protection but Im beginning to think I got a defecti've product.
    If anyone could help with this frustration it'd be great
    Thanks for reading.

    I just contacted Dell and I'm returning for a refund. After several more attempts to try and reboot, relaod firmware to try and solve any problem with it I decided to call it quits and just chalk it up to a PoS mp3 player. I have had a 20g Samsung player for 3 years now and have had no problem with it at all. The only thing is that its not compatible with subscription services such as Napster to Go. I think I will look into a new Samsung or something else.
    Good Luck

  • Will my old wall charger for Zen Vision:M will work with the (New) Z

    i bought a wall charger from amazon for my Zen Vision: M 30GB, will it work with the (New)Zen? i just bought the Zen 6 GB and it doesn't comes with an adapter, pretty bad move there, well, does it has the same plug? i hope it's compatible. thanks

    sebastiankf,
    That third party adapter from your Amazon link is hard wired specifically for the Vision:M and will not work with any other Creative player unless it has the same pin-outs using the same docking interface. The Creative AC-5V adapters will either have a coaxial power plug connection that will work with most of the Creative hard disk based players, except for the original NJB and Zen Micro, or a USB Mini-B plug that will work with all of the flash players that have a USB connection and the Zen Micro.

  • Zen Vision: M apparently enjoys rebuilding the libr

    Well I have 30g Zen Vision:M, and everytime I reboot or it has to do its loading thing (where It starts up for about 5 seconds before it plays music after it's been off for 5+ hours or something), It starts rebuilding the library.
    I have tried the Clean up, and am thinking about formating it and starting anew, but I don't want to do that if it is something else, and maybe someone knows.

    I am having the exact same problem. I came to the forums hoping for some help. Every time I turn on the Zen Vision:M after it has been turned off for a bit of time, it immediately starts to rebuild the library. I have done a Clean up. I have done reboots. But every time, it immediately wants to rebuild the library. It has worked perfectly up to this point and began doing this out of the blue after we had not used it for several days. I assumed it was because it had sat for so long without being used, but then discovered it does it every single time.
    Since I have over 7 gigs loaded onto this 30 gig unit, I really don't want to have to format and do this all over again.
    Please give any advice you can about this. It's extremely irritating to have to sit and wait for my huge library to rebuild every time I want to use the Vision M.
    Thanks so much!

  • Zen Vision M NOT RECOGNIZED BY COMPU

    i ahve widnows xp service pack 2...
    my ipod works on my usb stuff so this thing should to, it wasnt charged out of the bow which was kinda pathetic but then I let it charge for 8 hours overnight and this zen still wont turn on and it still wont recognize my player,.

    Just recently my Zen Vision:m? crashed and left me with nothing except 55 out of 3000 songs. All video, personal files, video and recordings are all gone. It wont completely rebuild which truthfully,?I?think,
    Is the problem. Only goes about 25% then goes into the startup. Computer will not recognize it now. I didnt do anything different with it upon previous use, it just decided that it didnt want to function properly. I can't finish this deployment without it. Can some one help?

  • Zen Stone Plus not detected by software - GRRRRR

    Hello all
    A month ago I bought the Creative Zen Stone Plus.
    I was quite happy to go with Creative because I had been the happy owner of a Creative MuVo player for a few years. The MuVo was remarkably straightforward to use. The only problems I experienced were occasionnal freezes of the software during file transfer. Nothing major. I lost count of the number of times I recommended this product to others, usually as a cheaper but just as good alternati've to the iPod.
    However, I am beginning to have serious doubts about Creative.
    This is the problem:
    - The player cannot be seen in Creative Media Lite.
    - In Devices Manager, "Creative Zen Stone Plus" appears under devices category "Other devices" and has a yellow question mark next to it.
    In other words, I have had the Zen Stone Plus for a month and it has never worked !
    From my exchanges with Technical Support (email) and from the knowledge base (eg # 9287,
    and 4782) and from this forum, I have tried several things such as
    - deinstalling (actually rolling back) then reinstalling Windows Media Player (to get MTP drivers installed)
    - downloading the Iomega patch
    - I downloaded the player recovery tool (the one with the red button) but when I click on it, I get the message "Player not detected. Do you want to retry"
    I found two dead ends in the technical support articles I read:
    - I decided to make changes to the registry, as one article suggested that the problem may be due to USB permissions. So I typed 'regedit' but the compuer would not accept this command.
    - I also decided that I would change the firmware, as another article suggested. How on earth do I do this. I downloaded the firmware for my player but I do not know how to enter the Recovery Mode. It is not clear from the Recovery page (KB ID # 4794) whether my device is 'ZEN' or a 'Zen Series'. I treid the procedure for both and neither worked !
    I'm beginning to feel like I've wasted my money. I had been thinking about buying a Creative player for my sister and also a friend. Now I won't bother, even if this problem is solved. I consider myself to be IT literate but how does Creative expect technically illiterate people to cope with its products !
    Can anyone help me to make the Zen Stone Plus work? Otherwise, I'll consider it to be a **bleep** Stone and flush it down the toilet, where it belongs.
    Andy

    -. Hello Seb_tokyo,
    Welcome to Creative forums!
    When you plug in the ZEN stone, your device manager list should refresh. Besides under USB controllers, did it detect anything when you plug it's You can also try the following:
    .) Unplug/replug the USB cable and connect it to the rear USB port instead of using front ports.
    2.) If you have another USB cable, try using a different one and see if it works.

  • ZEN VISION:M Not recognized!!! Please He

    I just purchased a Zen Vision:M. Before this I had a Zen Microphoto. I have installed the software for both (the Microphoto software has been uninstalled). The Vision:M is not recognized by my computer. When I plug it in, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" pops up and I get a message identifying the device as "MTP Device". It is not recognized in the Creative Media Explorer or Windows Media Player .
    I had the same problem with my Zen Microphoto. Both players work fine on my other computer. I've only had this problem since I did a fresh installation of Windows approximately month ago. The players worked fine before I did this. This leads me to believe that the problem is software-related.
    I have seen topics in the forum about this, but I cannot as of yet deri've any viable solutions from them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
