Okay, so here is my dilema:

I have a Creative Zen Micro Mp3 player. It always worked fine with my old
Laptop (windows XP) and it originally worked with this laptop (windows
Vista). Then after my computer crash and I had to restore everything, it
stopped syncing right with the computer. Every time I plug the USB cable in,
it says the device is not connected. Now, another problem is that I have to
update the firmware on my Mp3 player in order for it to work (So I can also
put more music onto it). But in order to do that, I need it to connect.

See my problem?

Any help is appreciated.

Oh, and before I forget: Yes, I tried changing USB cords and different USB
ports.
