Title: MC 11.0.314 crashes on connect to Nomad Zen
Post by: loraan on September 07, 2005, 09:20:05 pm

MC crashes every time I try to connect to my Nomad Zen. I downloaded the latest Zen plugin (version 11.0.25)  from J River and the latest Nomad drivers (version 1.21.01) from Creative, but it still happens. I did a search and found that some other people were having similar problems with earlier versions of MC 11, but I didn't see any resolution. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is my system info:

I've had this problem for over a year now.
I also find it locks up my system and just leaves it hanging when the Zen Xtra is connected.
I usually have to unplug the Xtra to get it working again.

What I do to avoid having the two open at the same time is to choose the songs I want to put on the Zen, export them to a playlist then use Nomad to put the songs onto the Zen after I close MC.

Reinstall MC11 and DO NOT download the plug-in.  MC11 works without the plug-in.

Reboot after installing.
