The enchanted broomstick Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Okay as the title may suggest im am getting thoroughly annoyed with this little piece of crap that Creative have overcharged me by, even if it was "cheap"Anyways the problem is as... I have all software, USB cable everything connected and every single damn time i connect it to my computer (windows XP) it says "new hardware found" blah blah blah, "windows cannot find a driver" blah blah blah - then at the right hand bottom of the screen "an error has occured during installation your device may not function properly" something like that anyway.What error though? I have installed the driver, i have tried every single USB port on the computer. As far as i have been reading this particular product should be recognised by windows explorer as a removable storage device, now wouldnt that be much easier. I also read about upgrading the firmware on it but surely that wouldnt have anything to do with it.... would it ?any help on this would be greatly appreciated, otherwise as stated above im gonna slam it against the damn wall stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Williams! Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 its your comp probably i get that and i use another usb port and its fine you should reinstall them with the thing plugged in. then only use that port when connecting it to your pc worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The enchanted broomstick Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 just tried it again as suggested and same problem. It's wierd though that exactly the same thing happens when i connect the Zen Nano to my Windows 98SE laptop, strange coincidence? Cant be.

Krisboats Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 My Sony Hard disk player had a brief session of doing this. Whenever i plugged it in it says an error has occurred and that this device might not function properly... well that was a f**king understatement, it did nothing apart from flash system error on the screen of the player. I thought i'd broken it and would have to reformat it but then i remembered what i do to it every other time i get a system error on the damn thing. And please note that i've now had 4 different system errors on muliple occasions that are supposed to be so severe the unit needs sending off by your average joe for sony to fix it and bill you. (A) It involves turning it off. Smacking the back of the damn thing really hard several times. Disconnecting the battery completely and smacking it some more . Reconnect the battery, turn it on plug it in ."New hardware device found, ATRAC Device found, Your hardware is now ready to use" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Is it new?I wouldn't expect it to work in Win98, but it should work in a WinXP machine without drivers or anything (if it's a removeable disk thingy). Try it in another WinXP machine, if it still doesn't work, assume that it's broken and send it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinky Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 that happened with mine, so i deleted the stuff that was on the disc, and it came up with removable storage device found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The enchanted broomstick Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 well i tried smacking the crap out of it, it changed though it came up on the computer straight away "usb device" normally it comes up Zen Nano Plus, i thought i had broken it but its gone back to normal now.Anyways, this is proper getting to me now i plug it in, get the new hardware wizard come up, select that it can connect to the net to look for the driver and naturally it wont find anything. If i go through the same hardware wizard and tell it to search the installation disc for the driver it says there isnt one on there ????God damn i hate these little pieces of crap!
