How to Play a Creative Labs Zen NX on Vista

Playing the Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox Zen NX, on a Windows Vista machine, will require you to install the latest drivers for the device. Newer drivers will be needed because the device was designed for an older version of Windows. This means that the installation disc that came with the Zen NX will not work with Windows Vista. The latest drivers for the device are available from Creative Labs.
