If you are using a desktop pc, then connect it to a USB port in the rear. If you have a notebook, make sure it is plugged into AC power when you connect. Go into the player menu and select MSC for the USB mode, then connect the player and see if it is recognized.

Most connection problems involve MTP rather then just the device. 

Before plugging in the Fuze, go to the main menu, and select Settings > System Settings > USB Mode > MSC and press the center button to select.

Plug in the Fuze and see if it is recognized.

MTP, or Media Transfer Protocol, is needed for compatibility with Windows Media DRM and protected media such as Rhapsody, Napster, and Audible books.

If you need this mode for functionality, after charging your new Fuze for a while (note the battery icon on the device), you can unplug the device and switch it to MTP mode using the method above.
