The driver for it won't install? Is the Zune Software installed? I'll look around for a manual driver install...

The driver should be located at:

c:\Program Files\Zune\Zune.inf

Also, try to put it in another USB slot. Some people have had trouble with hubs and add-in cards.

The software is installed, then first trying the on-board usb's then after that failed, put the card in, Funny thing is it was working on his pc, then it just stopped one day, so he thought it was broke & returned that zune for another one with more storage, the new one wont work ether, even with a fresh OS, tried it by me, & works fine. zune software states no device found or not ready

Did you try manually updating the driver with that path in Program Files?

Weird. Maybe MS will release a hotfix for it. Did you tell Zune support that you tried a fresh installation?

Microsoft Close to Pulling the Plug on Zune?

I hope not, I love my 30GB Zune. Never had a problem with it. The Zune Software needs improvement, but the Zune itself is awesome!

I don't think that's real. Sounds like they took Microsoft out of context when they said that media players were on the decline. I can't see Microsoft ditching the Zune, almost everyone who buys one loves it.

It probably won't happen. remember back in October, I believe it was then, there was Apple saying it was going to pull Itunes because of the fact that they haven't gained any ground to the "sells" market of music due to Copyrights.. It's going to throw up protest in ways and make it to where Microsoft knows that it's worth keeping. As of 3.0 on the firmware, they just added the ability to play games that you can download. Firmware can grow, it's just that if "they" want to let it.

I love my Zune more then anything.. I'm allowed to listen to it at work, so It's on 24/7 at work. I even listen to movies when I'm tired of music.. Then, it's the only thing that I've found that can take the subzero temps when I have to clean the deep freezer... Apple's Ipod can't do that for me. I've tried...

Thanks for the link newtekie. I personally think that it's all hyped-up media garbage. Unfortunately, people can misinterpret words WAY too easily, and can often purposely do so to get attention. I don't think the Zune is going anywhere. Microsoft is improving, especially with the Windows 7 Beta out now.

Updated. I'm scratching the "Favorite Album" because it can get a bit repetitive with the ZuneTag images displaying recently-played music.

Remember, if you see blank stuff, or your ZuneTag image isn't working, that means I need that information from you! Send me a PM if you want it done quicker

It's pretty sad.. I only really listen to one artist, so 9/10 times I have only that one person on the tag... lmao.. For some reason, it loads a lot quicker since you fixed it.. First post was a b1tch on loading times...

Well, I still have not sold my Zune so heh...
Just haven't used it in a while... The Creative Zen X-Fi has me hooked through its AMAZING sound quality... no joke guys. I still use the Zune though for video's and keep it charged at all times.

All right. Res ur rection!

Now, I got something for everyone.. There is a nice little tool that can help you whenever your Zune's software stops working. Meaning, whenever you try and open Zune software it doesn't open because you get a error that says "Microsoft Zune has stopped working".

You need to reset your DRM. There is a manual way to do so, but that requires you to go into safe mode, and rename this and that... But, there is a download that you can do to reset it for ya. Funny thing is, it's from Netflix..

So here is the link for download. It starts the download of the software right there..
http://www.netflix.com/pages/previews/resetdrm.exe

Danishdevil, might want to add that to the OP..

yep, heard about it... if it retails for $249.99 SHIPPED or less then I will buy it. Any more than that and its to much for a PMP. My Creative Zen X-Fi is a PMP but it sucks at playing video... complete and utter SHIT at playing Video... my Zune is the player with the BEST video playback.
