Zen Vision:M Recognition Prob

I am using WMP, XP SP2, and every time i try to connect the Zen to the Computer it Recognizes it, Says found a new MTP Device, and trys to install the drivers for it. Every time Windows trys to install the drivers I get an error that says the system can not find the file that is needed to install the driver. If anyone could show me what file i need to download or send the file to me vai email I would greatly appreciate it. Unless there is an easier way of fixing it, I would like to know that way as well. Thanks

When the manager asks for driver installation:
-- Choose "No, not this time" when it asks if you want to connect to Windows Update
-- Choose "Install from a list or specific location"
-- Choose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install"
-- At the list of hardware types, choose Uni'versal Serial Bus
-- If no drivers could be found, choose "Have Disk"
-- Browse to the following location and choose "c:\Windows\inf\wpd0.inf"
NB: If you can't see the inf directory in your Windows folder, you need to show hidden files and directories. You can change this by going to Tools>Folder Options>View>Show Hidden Files and Folders
-- Select the bolded driver (it should be a MTP driver)

  • Zen Vision M 30gb Prob

    I have a relati'vely new Zen Vision M 30gb player, which as of today stopped working.
    It will not turn on, will not charge or interface with the computer. When plugged into the computer a blue light flashes at the top of the player, and the same occurs when attempting to turn on. I have tried recovery mode to no avail and the resets do naught.
    Can anyone help me with this problem?

    No helping me. I just got mine about 5 weeks ago and its been working great. I charged it overnight last night to take to the gym and it didn't work. So I though that maybe the outlet I charged it on was popped or something. I verified that it worked. I plugged it in again and I have the blue light, but I just chekced and the battery meter barely had a line, and that was after 7 hours. I unplugged it and it wouldn't turn on. Any idea. I am currently charging it now and there is a blue light again. It just doesn;t seem to hold a charge

  • Investigating ZEN Vision: M hang prob

    Hello all..
    I, along with many others have had at one time a ZEN Vision: M that would go to a blank screen after showing ZEN logo, that never recovered. Thankfully, I, along with many others have been able to procure a replacement. But my question is, what is causing this hang that kills the ZEN? How do we prevent it in the future?
    I have done some minimal testing with 2 identical ZEN Vision: Ms and can verify that the HD is not the problem. I also have reason to think that it is something overwriting the firmware.
    If it was a motherboard issue, the ZEN logo would not show, but it does. It does not, however, show the Vision: M logo on the next screen.
    If anyone else has done any testing or has any ideas, please share them!!!
    Thanks in advance!!

    I understand that Creative frowns upon consperacy theorys, but I do have a question.. One person said that the think it might be possible to infect an MP3 to damage the firmware of the ZEN Vision: M.
    Now, as far as i know, this should not be possible, but i am not discounting it.
    I am hoping if the admins have any ideas, I would be interested too, because I am sure they have heard enough of this same issue..
    What are the chances someone could flash the EPROM via USP, and not just the firmware? That might solve problems for many people.

  • Zen Vision M Playlist Prob

    Hello,
    I have searched throughout the forum and think I understand some of the issues but I still have a question. I created a playlist using Zen Explorer and it is now in th Now Playing List. I am having a problem with the Zen remembering where I left off the last time I had it on. I have read that you can pause and turn it off and as long as you turn it back on within a few hours it will still be paused at the same place before I turned it off. However, if it is off for an extended time (overnight) it will unpause and will need to be played from the next song in the list (or something like that).
    This isn't a huge deal in itself but I want to be able to shuffle the songs in my playlist (that is originally in order by album) so I don't have to manually change the order of the songs and play it in "normal" mode. After a week of turning the Zen on and off for a few days while playing my songs I have notice repeats. I was under the impression that it would remember what it played and would not repeat unless I tell it to repeat. Does turning the Zen off too long reset the playlist and the shuffle feature so it doesn't remember what played? Does "play once" option fix this but can it still be shuffled? I don't want to play all my albums in the playlist in order (i.e., normal mode) but I also do not want to shuffle randomly without it memorizing what it played the day before.
    This is frustrating. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Anybody have an answer to the shuffle issue in playlists?To recap, when a playlist is created, the order is set. The only way to play them in random is to shuffle during playback. However, I would like to "shuffle" or "mix" the order of the songs in the playlist so that I can listen to it normally in order without relying on the shuffle feature. That way the order is always set and it is mixed without me manually mixing it myself which could take hours for a long playlist. Even if I open up MediaSource and have the playlist displayed, there is no feature to mix the songs automatically and randomly. I think there is a market for this type of feature so I would like Creative to incorporate this feature in a future software update to MediaSource or in a firmware update to the Vision M.

  • Zen Vision :M Recognition Probl

    First of all please dont refer me to charge my Zen to full or look at the knowledge base because these arent the soloutions to my problem.
    After i reset my Zen once when it wasnt responding, it failed to recognise that it was plugged into the computer. It charges and says its docked, but doesnt appear in my computer and media explorer simply stays greyed out. Windows Media Player doesnt recognise its existence either. After looking at the knowledge base the only thing of any interest to my problem was to look in device manager and unistall what it clearly stated as creative zen from the device manager list. After doing so i searched for hardware changes like prompted and ever since when plugged in, my computer tells me thats its found new hardware, listing it as a MTP Device and nothing more. In my Device Manager its listed as a MTP device and has a constant error mark over it showing that it has no drivers or software with it.
    A reinstall of all the software included with the Zen hasnt helped and as i know no way of formatting the Zen without it being connected to the computer im stuck in a tight space.
    Another fact is while it is connected it doesnt stay connected fluidly it constantly prompts the computer that its new, the on screen arrows are always moving round and the found new hardware bubble is constantly renewed.
    Its a hard problem to solve and im a bit stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.Message Edited by jonpoynton on 08-08-20070: AM

    I've discovered a way around this mess!
    It may be back to basics but its like starting again. Dont worry about reinstalling your software leave it all on format your zen by holding the power switch left and keeping it held there, place a paper clip or the like in the reset hole and you should aget a menu select format all.
    WARNING, this will get rid of all your data.
    When rebooting your Zen it will still have custom backgrounds EQing etc, you need to get rid of this by going to system / reset settings.
    Now when you plug in your device it will come up with the formiddable found new hardware MTP Device. Gi've it a few seconds however and it will show, Your new hardware has been successfully installed and is ready to use. You can then open Media explorer/ sync manager etc and be on your way!
    So im afraid the only soloution is to reset everything to the max and start again.
    Hope this helps, i know alot of people have had similar problems.Message Edited by jonpoynton on 08-08-20070:46 AM

  • Zen Vision M Harddisk Prob

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my player.
    If I turn it on it takes me to recovery mode.
    I tried to Clean my players firmware but I get the message 'Harddisk Problem'.
    I also get this when I try to Format my player the same 'Harddisk Problem' message.
    I don't know how this could be because it never fell and my player is always in the leather pocket I got for it.
    Firmware version: .6.0_0.0.23
    Someone can help me with this.
    I already contacted support.
    Grtz,
    Niels

    I have or had a 60 gig Vision M and there?was a problem with my dri've, but because the warranty of a massi've year is no longer acti've you got yourself a useful battery powered paper weight that gives you options of useless importance. I would be quite happy to send mine away and pay for it to get fixed after all thats what after service is all about. an after service.. I emailed for?help?got a useless response. A product at this price should have a warranty of at least two years. My confidence in Creative, who should be competing against ipod, is so deminished that I feel I should stand outside there factory with a banner slating them!!
    If your reading this Creative I bet your reply won't help my cause, however witty and demeaning it may be, You supplied me with a naff product. You should be proud I was sold!!
    Unless you want to send me a new one, but I know you won't!!

  • Creative Zen vision M 30gb prob

    hi. the other day i hooked up my zen with a 3.5mm jack to twin photo lead/cable to my hifi. the sound i was getting was good, but not loud, so i started experimenting witht the leads at the back - this caused the player to turn off. there was a slight pop of a sound, but this wasn't that noticeable.
    since then, when i turn my zen on it shows the starting bit of 'creative' and 'Zen' but doesnt progress further. i've also had it on recovery mode and tried everything there and still no answer. just before the recovery mode screen appears it says something to do with the firmware, but when i try to work the firmware it cannot detect my player. nor does my media explorer detect the player - it only charges my player.
    also i think my warranty is of a year and i've had this for 8months or so. ?

    yeah i've tried the recovery tool, which tries to use the firmware and then doesn't detect the player.
    i also think i've buggered up my stereo doing this too.
    anyone?

  • Zen Vision:M 30GB recognition problems...Big t

    Hi, 2 days ago i ran into a problem with my Zen. I had to charge it, as the battery was low and had to put some new music on it.. I plugged it into the USB port on my Laptop, where all of it's software is installed. The Zen wasn't recognized. Instead of the charging screen it normally started up with, it started up with the play screen(the screen it shows when a song is playing). I looked at the battery icon in the top right corner, and it wasn't doing anything. I turned the Zen off and started it up again. Nothing changed. I restarted my computer. Nothing changed. I shut down my computer and started it back up again. Nothing changed.
    I took it to my desktop computer, a Compaq, and tried it there. It worked, but not how i was expecting it to work. The battery icon started flashing with the little lightning bolt, acknowledging that it was charging. But the play screen was still there. The odd thing with this is, i left the player to charge for several hours. When i came back, the Zen was in some form of idle shut-down. The screen was black, except for the battery icon with the lightning bolt. Oddly enough, he battery bar hadn't filled up anymore than when i left it. Upon unplugging the player though, the Zen turned off. When i turned it back on, the bar had filled up more. It wasn't fully charged though.
    I plugged the cable back into it, and this time, the battery icon WASN'T charging. It just had the play screen on. It wasn't doing ANYTHING this time. Frustrated, i went out and bought the wall charger, and now i have a full battery. But it doesn't solve why my computer won't recognize my player.
    Today, i un-installed the software that came with the player and re-installed it. It didn't do anything. I installed the software on my desktop computer, and THAT didn't work either. So i came to the website here and used the trouble-shoot guide. That didn't help, and this is where my problem differs from the other posters here who have recognition problems:
    Back to my laptop: I have Windows Service Pack 2. I installed Windows Media Player . I went to the Device Manger, like the trouble-shoot guide said to. The kicker: Windows Portable Devices is NOT, i repeat NOT in my Device Manager. Neither does the Creative player either. I clicked on "The player does not appear in Device manager". That link showed me a diagram of a desktop computer, so went back to my desktop computer. I did everything above mentioned, and Windows Portable Devices is not in the device manager of my desktop computer either. Further reading the trouble-shoot guide, i could NOT locate "Other Devices" or "Unknown Devices" in my Device Manger on either desktop or laptop. There's nothing "Creative" related or "Zen" related at all in any of the Device programs.
    I don't know what to do. All of the trouble-shoot guides don't discuss my issue at all. Everything is "If an MP3 player is reported working properly in Device Manager, but it is not detected or listed in Windows Media Player or Creative Media Explorer..."
    Mine isn't even detected in Device Manager. My Device Manager has nothing regarding my Zen or Windows Portable Devices.
    I'm thinking about messing with it in Recovery mode, but i don't want to erase everything i have on here, just to have my player still not work. I'm going to try messing with this at my friend's house to check the cable and the player there too.
    But any help regarding my situation would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy.

    I tried my uncle's Zen Vision: M 30GB on my laptop and strange things happened. My laptop recognized the player as an unknown device and said i needed to install the MTP driver. I did that, and upon doing so, my laptop recognized my Uncle's player as a Portable device, allowing me to transfer songs to his player. But it STILL doesn't recognize MY player. Email support says i have to send it in for repairs, but i don't know...
    Any luck with you?

  • MediaSource Recognition Problem? (Zen Vision:

    OK, I had a Zen 20GB for the last year and I loved it to bits. Worked great, but just before Christmas it fell in some water and died . I replaced it with a 60GB Zen Vision:M and didn't mind too much because I had less than GB of space left and would have had to replace it soon anyway.
    Now onto my question. With my Zen 20GB when I used Media Source (I think v.3 came with it but I can't remember) it would let me search my Zen and edit tracks in it. The search function was IMO fantastic, especially with a music collection as large as mine. Now when I connect my ZV:M it connects fine. I've transferred plenty of music without bother using Windows Media Player.
    However, when I open Media Source (both v.3 and v.5) it doesn't give me any option to explore my Zen like it did when I had my 20GB. I can still explore it using the Zen Explorer, but since this doesn't let you edit the properties for several tracks at a time I find it very frustrating.
    Also, if I chose to "Transfer Music", "Transfer Playlist" or "Sync Music" in Media Source I get the message "No Creative mp3 player is detected. Please connect your mp3 player and try again."
    Now, I know it's connected since I can explore the contents fine in Zen Explorer and I can transfer to it using WMP. Is there something I haven't installed correctly that is stopping Media Source from recognising my player? It just seems strange since it seems to be the only application not working for it.
    Thanks for the help (and sorry if this has been covered else where. I searched but couldn't find anything).

    You must also download and install the corresponding MediaSource plugin for your MP3 player in order for MediaSource 5 to detect your MP3 player.

  • Zen Vision M 30gb Connection Prob

    Hello,?After using my Zen for months without any problems, yesterday, I couldn't make my player recognized by either Windows Media Player or Zen Vision:M Media Explorer. I made a big search on the internet, found too many posts, followed the instructions and nothing happened. - My operating system is SP2 installed Windows XP.- My Zen is fully charged.- I tried all 6 USB inputs.- I also tried three different USB cables.- In Device Manager, I can see my Zen with the name "Creative Zen Vision:M" under the Portable Devices category. No problems, no question marks, no conflicts...- I made the "Permissions for Everyone" change from Registry. People recommended me to install the latest firmware but it also says "your device is not connected". Then in another forum, I noticed that some people are experiencing problems with Media Player . I tried to uninstall it but couldn't do that, too! I tried to rollback the drivers, nothing happened. I tried to delete the files and registry keys, nothing happened. I tried to install Media Player 0 on , of course nothing happened. I want my Zen back! Your suggestions will be very much appreciated. )?Thanks,Ozan.

  • Zen Vision:M 30GB Player Prob

    The problem is that my Zen Vision:M 30GB Player is stuck in recovery mode. I turned it on the other day with no previous problems, and now it only goes to recovery mode. The player is detected when I plug it in, but it does not leave recovery mode.
    I have tried:
    ) Cleaning Up
    2) Formatting
    3) Rebooting many times
    4) Reloading firmware
    All to no avail. When I try to reload the firmware on my computer by using the MP3 Player recovery tool it says "Upgrade Failed" at the end. I even tried downloading the firmware and upgrading it manually, but it only ended in the same outcome.
    My firmware is v.62.02_0.0.23?
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • Zen Vision M 60GB Player recognition w

    Hello everyone. I have a Zen Vision M 30 GB player that I've had for a year and love it, so I recommended the product to my boyfriend. He received his 60 GB player in the mail today from amazon.com. Problem: Neither Windows Media Player NOR the Creative Media Explorer recognize the player. My 30GB player is instantly recognized on his computer with his cable, and on my computer with my cable. His player is NOT recognized on either machine, with either cable. Because the 30GB is recognized, I've ruled out faulty USB ports or cables as a problem. BUT...he did plug his in and charge it up, and while it was charging, about 0GB of his 30GB music collection was transferred to his player, with no particular rhyme or reason, and no direction from him. Obviously, at one point, it saw the player or it wouldn't have been able to transfer the music that it did. Both computers in question are running Windows XP SP 2 with all current updates applied,?He has emailed customer support, but it's Friday night and we aren't hopeful that we'll hear anything before Monday. Any ideas in the meantime? I searched for an updated driver, but none were posted on the web site. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!?~Val in IL

    for new zen vision, you need to charge for 5+hrs in order for PC to recognise itdo you have a charger, it will do a better job

  • Zen Vision: M Album Art prob

    Hi all...
    I recently did a fresh install of Windows MCE and had to reinstall all my Creative stuff. I used the CD-Rom to reinstall (still mad about the MP3 conversion removal from the new version of mediasource). Since reinstalling everything, I cannot drag jpg's into the Zen Media Explorer to put on the Album Art.
    It worked before I reinstalled. Now when I drag a picture onto the "musical note" icon, the hard dri've on the Zen Vision has activity (the docked icon spins) but the picture doesn't appear.
    The album art I added before is all still there, but I can't change or replace it. Every time I drag, the hard dri've spins and everything, but the picture just doesn't show up.
    I haven't installed Windows Media Player either.
    Any ideas?
    HB

    I have found precisely the same problem.Re-installed windows last week, and ever since I have been unable to transfer album art. I used to do this by naming album art jpeg as "folder" and dragging album folder directly into Vision:M media explorer. I have also tried to dragging art onto the album art placeholder on "album" view - as described in creative knowledge base solution 879 - and this does not work. The only way I have found to transfer the album art is by syncing through media player . I should point out that I was using media player 0 before my re-install - but surely this cannot be the reason can it's The album art which I had transferred previously to my player is still fine. Is there any solution to this It's only a small problem, but it's really starting to bug me Thanks
