Creative zen micro and vista

It had been discussed that Creative would make the Zune for Microsoft and that also did not happen. SO the bottom line is Creative or any seller has the responsibility to look after its customers. This can be proven in that there could easily have been a class action law suit against Creative, in failing to support users, when Vista was launched. This is shown, of course by looking for drivers for the older products, where it shows it is not supported by vista. This new standard makes it very easy for products to work with Microsoft, very easily.

The older creative products could not meet these criteria so Creative smartly avoided the problem again. Most users according to Creative , were not negatively affected by vista.

In English this meant the cost of supporting vista for older players like the nomad, and Zen NX was too great, and many users either did not migrate to vista or were happy to buy new players vs. It is of some notable interest that there were 2 lawsuits around at the time as well. One anti-trust against Microsoft by Creative in I am still a fan of creative hardware but quite dissapointed how they treated existing owners.

I am sure this mean users like us looking at other players closer next time. I know I do.

Following these directions I was able to get Nomad Zen Explorer to work and managed to use that and dragging and dropping from my MP3 folder to load my music onto my device. Thank you for the experimental work. I did as someone above did — installed the driver JB3etc , plugged in the Zen, which Vista then found and installed okay.

Nice work!! If that does not work, boot your computer up in safe mode with command promt. In the command prompt, type in one of these three variations of this command. Used your instructions to install my Zen Xtra on my vista box with the Zencast software media player 5 would not install.

Thank you so, so, so much. Worked like a charm. I agree with the poster above … never again will I buy anything from Creative! Thanks a lot! I was afraid I had to dual boot with XP just to put music onto my mp3 player.

Creative and their marketing schemes can eff off. Hey,… Lovely. I have a Jukebox3 and i followed the steps and it works pretty well on my new Vista.. I can stop swapping HDs on my laptop XP just to manange my music! Many thanks. I had vista for 9 months and could not get my Creative Zen Jukebox 2 gig to work. It took 3 attempts to get it to work, but it now works perfectly. I tried multiple time to get this to work with no luck. I finally got Vista to recognize the Zen Xtra by putting the Zen in rescue mode hold the play button down and hit reset , and while in rescue mode, I connected it to the computer.

After Vista recognized it, I restarted the Zen and it worked fine. Windows explorer sees it as a drive and Windows Media Player will sync to it. Nomad explorer does not see it and the media source software will not install. This is probably because I have the play for sure firmware 2.
