I’m trying to remember a wonderful post about getting the computer to recognize your player. In Control Panel-System-Hardware, go to your device and click, Get New Driver (titles of these may not be word-for-word). Don’t let Windows search for a driver but tell it you have one in a specific place. Windows should then give you a choice of drivers. Click that you’ll get the USB driver. Then let Windows do its thing.
Hope this helps. The forum message I’m referring to was more exact.
