Creative ZEN X-Fi2

Don't buy one.

Seriously, I have been back and forward via email with their help team for well over a week now and they can't tell me why the software doesn't work.

They keep telling me it's my system rather than their program, but I pass all their little tests and now I've finally sent them a screen cap showing I do indeed have the latest Microsoft service pack installed.

The most annoying part is they have a phone number for help that doesn't work and their customer support team isn't answering me and no matter how many times I ask the tech help people (who are polite, but honest to god it's to the point where you'd need to be a genius to understand wtf they are asking me to do) they just ignore the bit where I ask how to return the faulty goods.

I'm fed up. If they don't tell me this week, I'm going to phone consumer affairs and get the down low. iTunes works on all systems. How hard can it be to make their software run on my system. The software (that was almost identical as far as I can tell) for my Creative Zen Vision: M ran fine on my system.

I guess if I can ever return this thing I may have to join the iPod tragics among you.

Grrr. *sad puppy*

Just did a bit of a search:

However, the software that came with the thing was complete sh*t. Out of the box: sync problems, driver downloads, ZERO help from their support (via website).

Yes I saw that before I bought the item, but it was one comment out of a LOT of reviews I searched and Amazon comments. Most people complained about the touchscreen or use of the software (the software was always clunky), but that was the only one saying it wouldn't load or even work. Plus their tech support are TRYING to help, they just don't seem to be able to. *le sigh*

I hope you sort it out.
