Operating System, is it windows 2000? Windows XP?

If it is an older version of windows then it may not automatically detect the PSP... it should with Win 2000 or XP, though. Are you on a REALLY old windows 98?

Have you moved music onto it before from other computers? You do know that you need to plug in the PSP and from the PSP go into the settings and hit the USB connection button, yes? This will put it into the mode the computer needs to recognize it.

Make sure you put the .mp3's in the music folder on your mem stick, if you do not have a music folder then you need to format the card from the settings menu.

Sounds like you just need to check things over, maybe the USB port is busted, try a different one. Make sure your mem card is seated properly and make sure that it actually isnt recognizing it by going into my computer and clicking on all the drive letters. Maybe it is just calling it "Drive: P" or something and you arent realizing that it is there.

Then you have faulty USB ports... unfortunately there isnt another way to hook it up to the computer.

Is your mouse or keyboard USB? If those work then maybe you should buy a cheap keyboard/mouse that uses the PS/2 connector and then use that USB port.

If you have done nothing to your computer ever, then you probably have plenty of PCI slots available on your motherboard. If you arent afraid of opening your case you could buy a new USB card and install it into an empty PCI slot. Then, you would have more USB's out the back of your computer when you put the case back on.

If you arent confortable doing that yourself, then i bet CompUSA or Best Buy would do it for you in like an hour. Ask their tech guys to help you pick out a new USB card, they may even install for free.

This whole thing may set you back 30-50 bucks is my guess.
