When I hook up my mp3 player to my computer it makes the sound that you connected it but when I go into windows media player it dosen't detect it.

I have a Gateway with Windows Xp SP1
my mp3 is a Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20GB
ya and it says it compatable with XP SP1

*edit*
when I hook it up to my xbox 360 it says docked on the mp3 player but when I connect to my pc it dosent say anythingWindows Media Player doesent actually detect a drive, Windows itself does:
Look under My Computer and see if it shows up there. (It could be titled a few different things: Audio drive, Mass storage device, removable storage device)

Also, I would RECOMMEND upgrading to the newest version of Windows Media Player, Windows Media Player 11. HTTP://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx (Note:  This is a BETA program still, however, it has reached a point in its development process that it is completely safe to use. You may uninstall this program any time you want, and go back to version 10)


well now it dosent even show up when i connect it
i dont think its connecting correctly because when I connect my wheel for racing it makes a different noise and says found new hardwareDoes it show up in device manager?
Does it have any marks next to it in device manager?where is device manager?Go to Start --> Run --> type "devmgmt.msc" without quotes, and PRESS enter.yes its in under other devices and has a question mark by itok THANKS i got it to work
