Why doesn't my IPod sync with my PC?

Ok, it's a 5th gen IPod touch and my PC is Windows XP (by the way it also doesn't sync on my other halves laptop which is Windows Vista)
It's 'new' even though I've had it for a while. I've never got round to doing anything with it.
I have itunes on my PC. The IPod was updated yesterday to IOS7.1 and I tried to sync it to my PC but it wasn't having any of it. I plugged the lead into the IPod and the other end into the PC and ......nothing. According to a video on YYou Tube it should show up on the LH side of itunes as a device, I don't even have a Device listing there even though I've sync'd my IPad to the same PC.
It's probably something simple (bit like me) but can anyone help me, it's doing my head in.

Does the ipod should up in windows explorer?
If not there may be a reason, try a different USB port.
Yes, it did detect the IPod and it installed hardware.
No, it doesn't show up in Windows Explorer
Tried 2 or 3 different USB ports.
I'm baffled

I did look at the Apple support pages and couldn't undertstand why their instructions weren't relating to what I was looking at on my itunes page.
In the end I deleted what I had an downloaded itunes version 11. something and it all became clear.
Even when it did work I still had to put up with the hell that is itunes....
