Have you tried resetting it
Reset your Zune device. To do this, set the Hold switch to Unlocked, and then press and hold the Back button as you press the top of the Control Pad.
Note The reset may take one minute. The length of this delay depends on which component stopped responding.

Yes.Have you tried resetting it
Keep in mind everything works great on a different PC. There is something specific to my PC that isn't working.

Items in blue which are underlined are clickable to give more information about the process
Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit then select all, right click any file then click delete, confirm delete
Click start, all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up, then from system tools, run disc defragmenter.
Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter, you need the XP CD
Windows File Protection will show a blue onscreen progress bar, when the bar goes, reboot
If you do not have an XP CD you can borrow a same version as was originally installed XP CD, if you downloaded SP2 then you need an SP1 XP CD
If you do not have an XP CD and are unable to borrow one, run the scan, click skip if it asks for the CD, if it keeps asking, click cancel.
If it kept asking for the XP CD then system files are missing
Click start then run, type chkdsk /f /r then press enter, type Y to confirm for next boot, press enter then reboot.
Windows will appear to load normally then either the monitor will show progress or the screen will go blank, do not disturb this.
This will take an hour or so before it gets to the desktop.
Download and install Tune Up 2007 Trial
Run Tune Up Disc Clean Up
Run Tune Up Registry Clean Up
Click Optimize and Improve to run Reg Defrag, which will take a few minutes and need a reboot. You should disable the antivirus programme to run this and check it is running after the reboot
After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot
After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot
After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to run system advisor
Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit then select all, right click any file then click delete, confirm delete

I appreciate the help, Jazza and Keith.
What I wound up doing to fix things was to buy a new PCI USB card(10 bucks or so, or 30 bucks if you go to Best Buy like I did because it was the only thing open today on New Years Eve >_<), and thereby installing a new usb host controller and hub... USB hardware was the problem, apparently, because now things work great. I don't know if I just had a lemon motherboard or what, but figured I'd post what I did to resolve my prob. Anyway, keep on helping people here ;p Goodbye
