This should really be posted in the Technical Help and Discussion category, but anyways...

Try rebooting your pc with the software jacked in.

If that doesn't work, try this:

1. Uninstall XPlay. Nothing against MediaFour, but for what I was going to do was icky enough and I didn't want XPlay to interfere with it. Besides, if all went well I wouldn't need it.
2. Install iTunes for Windows. Well, duh.
3. Download and install the Windows version of the iPod 1.3 Installer. I don't know anything about the Dock version of the iPod - that's the 3rd generation of iPods - because it's on version 2.1 of the firmware, which isn't compatible with my iPod. In fact, I don't think the 3rd Gen has any issues with Windows or Mac versions - only the scrollwheel and touchwheel models (Generations 1 and 2) would even have this concern.
4. Update the iPod. After all of the reboots that XPlay, iTunes, and the iPod Installer have caused, you're ready to change the iPod. To do this, connected the iPod to the PC and ran the iPod Installer. This will offer you the single option to Restore an iPod - it can't Upgrade it because it's currently not compatible. This will format and re-initialize your iPod into a Windows-based version. There's no recovery from this point - you will lose all existing data on the iPod and I sure as hell am not responsible!
5. Follow the Installer's instructions and you're all set. The next time you open iTunes, you can plug in the iPod and it should find it. In fact, your PC won't see it until you launch iTunes so make sure you open it first.

Did some quick researching, hope it helps.
