Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
This section covers questions you might have while using your player. It has
been divided into a few categories for your easy reference. For further
assistance, you may wish to consult our self-help tool “Knowledge Base”. Go
to www.creative.com and select your region.
General
Where can I get official information on all Creative products?
Visit www.creative.com for updates and downloads relating to all Creative
products, MP3 players and accessories.
Frequently Asked Questions C-1
Windows XP tells me that the software for the player is not certified.
What do I do?
At the time of this product's release, Microsoft strongly encouraged
companies to submit their hardware solutions for certification. If a hardware
device driver is not submitted, or does not qualify, for Microsoft certification, a
warning message similar to the one below appears.
You may see this message when installing this driver or update. If you do,
you may choose to click the Continue Anyway button. Creative has tested
this driver or update on Windows XP, and it does not impair or destabilize
your computer.
Usage
After playing a sequence of tracks, the player skips a track.
The player will only play valid formats (MP3 or WMA). Other types of files will
be skipped.
Frequently Asked Questions C-2
Files or tracks are corrupted when transferred to the player.
Transfer may have been interrupted. Before disconnecting your player from
your computer, stop your player first. For more information on stopping your
player, refer to "Step 4: Stopping Your Player Properly" on page 2-5.
File transfers to the player are very slow (less than 100 kb/sec).
Try clearing your player’s memory. For more information, refer to "Formatting
Your Player" on page 3-15.
Can I use the player for portable data storage?
Yes, you can.
I have to change the battery quite often. Is there anything I can do to
make it last longer?
Some operations consume more battery power:
❍ A long backlight timeout setting. A shorter timeout conserves battery power.
❍ A high contrast setting. Position the player so that you can read the display
without using a high contrast setting.
❍ Too much use of the Scroller to move within a track or to select tracks during
playback.
❍ Turning the player on or off too many times.
❍ Use of passive speakers or high-powered headphones.
❍ Playback of WMA files.
