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.

My mp3 touch screen froze while i was useing it

1. Connect the player to the mains via the power cable.
2. Straighten out a paper clip.
3. Hold down the Play/Pause button, and poke the paperclip through the reset hole (still holding down the play/pause button)
4. This will acces the recovery mode. Scroll down and go to reboot. Press the OK button.

I can't remember if this resets the data though?

But once you have control of the zen head on over to their website and update the firmware (this will wipe all of your songs, but would you rather have an MP3 player with music you cant listen to?) Haha

Anyhow hope this helps.

I would run the recovery console from the player itself. Make sure the Touch's power supply is plugged in (and unplugged from a PC) then to access the recovery mode of the Touch, hold down the Play/Pause button while inserting a straightened paper clip into the reset hole on your player, give it about five seconds then remove the paper clip.
Next, keep on holding the Play/Pause button until the Rescue Mode screen appears. After you see the rescue mode menu, you can release the play/pause button.
I would try a "clean up" first, as this is less intrusive and will not erase data.

Try hitting the Zen on your knee. It sounds silly, but many people here say that it works.

Creative Zen 8g Hangs up and won't reset

I also had the same problem last week where my Zen was stuck on one song. I tried resetting it umpteen times, but it always went back to that song. I connected to the computer and went under
the Creative Zen application and had to format my whole Zen. I lost everything I had, but it was unstuck and I just downloaded everything again except that song. No trouble since then. Hope this helps.

Frozen Zen Touch

I would try a firmware update, if you have a PC running windows xp or vista, check out this link for a firmware download. If this doesn't work, i would consider investing in a new mp3 player, because of course you probably could contact the "Creative" company and get then to fix it, but it'd probably cost about as much as buying a new one....not worth it....the new 80gb zune is very nice...or you could go for another zen product. or ipod...

Zen sleek frozen after trying to delete songs

Why does technology make you work for what you already paid good money for? Have you tried going into Recovery Mode? You do this by holding down the Play/Pause button while triggering the Reset button. Once there, you have four options. Try selecting Disk Cleanup and then Reboot. You might need to re-Sync a few things but it's worth a shot. Good luck.
