Evening,
Have a Creative Zen Micro (5) which is 2 yrs old. Hadn't charged it in ages and it came up with the recovery screen when I plugged it in. Wouldn't boot up correctly and I accidentally hit 'Reload Firmware'. Now it's missing firmware and when I go onto the internet and download the correct firmware it won't install (I think because windows doesn't recognise it as a player, it comes up as something else- turns out I can't install the driver because it needs new firmware before it'll be detected correctly and I can't install the firmware because I don't have the drivers working.
As you can see, this is sickening.
Help me out, please...

buy a mini disc player from e bay............

Thanks for that...
I'll pick up an ashtray for my motorcycle when I'm on. It should be as much use as your comment.

Get me a kickstand for my cat while you're on eBay will ya mate ?

Dunno if you've tried this. But the Creative forums have a guide to connection problems.

Many thanks,
Those links led me to a discussion area which stated that the problem is with Windows Media Player 11. When I uninstalled it, reinstalled the Creative drivers and reconnected the device it was recognised and updated correctly.
Thanks again, you saved the Zen from becoming a paperweight!
