Just an update to this, if you've downloaded the newest firmware 01.03.02 for the View, USB mode is now selectable via the GUI. The forced MSC mode still works with this firmware if you're having difficulty though

Yep, this worked.
1. Sansa view; power on.
2. engage the hold switch on left.
3. press the left part of thumb disk (hold down) and atach the port at the bottom... hold down for approx. 10-15 sec. and the access will appear in my computer.

Only then I could transfer media to my Sansa View.
:)
There must be another reason why this works like this. But at least I can listen to music on the go. YAY!

again, if you download the newest firmware, forced MSC mode is no longer required, if you switch it to MSC under Mode.
Check to make sure your computer has Windows Media player 10 or higher (11 recommended). Also that your computer is kept up to date. If that fails, try downloading the MTP porting kit (for XP) and installing that and see if that helps.
