OKay so i'm currently on my third zen product in less than a year. I own a zen microphoto right now (upgraded after having problems with the last two zen micros) and the problem seems to be the sound. I do not have sound in one of the headphones... therefore i guess it's safe to assume that I have a headphone jack problem. Okay awesome. Now what?? creative is next to impossible to get a hold of and I bought this product in Toronto and I'm living in Calgary now... so how do i get help?
any suggestions?
Thanks
Alli

I'm assuming you're not using a hub but plugging directly into one of the USB ports on your laptop?
First, have you installed all current patches for your PC? I think this was a common error message that was hotfixed some time ago, so be sure your OS is up-to-date. If so, you could try to uninstall all USB ports in device manager, then restart. When your system is up, go to the first USB device and right-click, then turn off warning messages. This is just for the error message, you may have a problem with your Zen as well so try it on a different PC if possible but I'd do that when it's fully charged. You may need to do a hard reset (instructions in your manual) to get it to work but that may delete all of the Zen's contents, so that's a last resort.
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off,hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.
had the same problem w/1st zen, lasted less than two weeks
circuit city traded me a new one, have found creative labs to be no help w/o charging for it.
