I've just found this on the problem doing a google search, it's worth a try...

For those Windows Vista user with problems when they plugged their Zen V Plus into 
the USB port. Vista was asking for drivers and couldnt find them, even though you 
have installed all the applications in the installation CD.

For some users using Vista Ultimate, Windows cannot find all the installed drivers, 
so even though you install it Windows thinks they dont exist.

To solve this, plug in your hardware and wait for the prompt to search for drivers.

If no drivers are found, click on the "advanced" option of locating the drivers manually.

If you dont get an option of browsing manually go to Control Panel > Device Manager 
and Find your hardware thats not installed. Right click on it and select Update Driver 
Software.

You get asked to Browse your computer, or you can enter a file location. Simply place 
the following in, or find the folder on your computer

C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository

Click next and Windows searches that folder... and finds your drivers... installs 
them and sorts it all out.

This has solved my problem with my Creative Zen V Plus MP3 player and some other 
hardwares which cannot be recognised

Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC 
Highlight the USB Root Hub device(s) Action menu, 
"Uninstall", then Action menu, 
''scan for hardware changes", 
to find the device drivers again automatically.
