Firmware Upgrade For The Zen Xtra

Careful, careful to everyone with a Zen Xtra. Creative just released a new firmware upgrade this month but, apparently, it is designed to give you a fit! Lots and lots of people in the Creative Forums are now complaining of problems after installing (or more accurately, trying to install)  the firmware upgrade.

Everything from detection failure with Windows Media Player’s refusal to install, and other issues are being reported.  Guess how happy I am I own a Vision M and refuse to upgrade firmware until after two months of release? :P  Ever since that demonic Creative Labs firmware upgrade that actually removed features (due to legal issues) I’ve been wary of installing new firmware releases until everybody has voiced their complaints.

To the unfamiliar, the Zen Xtra is a really small, high-capacity, pocket-sized music player with a spectacular sound and a really strong body. I know a friend who has dropped his plenty of times with no remarkable damage.
