Hi Chris. I don't have an Archos player but just thought it worth asking the following questions.
Firstly, have you another computer you can try to hook up to? Secondly, have you tried rebooting the player? I have a creative jukebox and to do this there's a pin hole where you can insert a paper clip and in combination with the play button you can effectively reload the firmware. I'm wondering whether you have a problem with the USB socket on the player side and that's why your computer isn't recognising that you're making a connection. Regards.
