    My Zen is stuck in "Recovery" mode. It won't power off. When I try to power it off I get a "Firmware Problem" error message. My computer doesn't recognize the unit when I connect it, so I can't reload the firmware onto it. I tried pushing the reset button but it didn't anything!!

    Reloading firmware on mp3 player
    try downloading the MP3 player recovery tool from Creative's website (the tool contains the latest firmware update available -- 1.15.03). Plug your ZV+ into your PC, run the program and let it update the firmware. Then format, reload your music and try it.

    Creative zen mp3 help please
    You will need to put the Zen into recovery mode and erase the firmware, then reload the firmware. Follow these steps:

    To Erase the Firmware:

    1. Get a paperclip and straighten it out.

    2. Hold down the Play/Pause button, and put the paperclip through the reset hole. Release the paperclip while continuing to press the Play/Pause button until you see the screen change.

    3. Select "Reload Firmware."

    To Load the new Firmware:

    Go to www.Creative.com/support --> downloads. Click through the navigation and download the latest Zen Touch firmware. Reboot your computer, then plug in your Zen via USB cable. Double-click the firmware icon and then click upgrade.
