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
The Sansa View, with firmware versions 01.01.06 and 01.02.09, does not have the option to switch between MSC and MTP in the submenu. In order to use the MSC mode, on the Sansa View, the following will need to be done...
1. Make sure the Sansa View is turned on.
2. Engage the hold switch, located on the left-hand side of the player.
3. Press and hold the LEFT BUTTON ( << )
4. Connect to the computer while pressing and holding the LEFT BUTTON ( << )
5. The Sansa View should now be connected in MSC mode and should appear as a "Removable DiskClick here to see the BC Blog

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.
