Dialog Boxes Will not reset

Question

I recently bought a new computer and transferred all of my ipod's library to the new computer using an external hard drive. The transfer all went fine and I have complete access for my library however, when I tried to sync the ipod, a dialog box asked me if I wanted to overwrite it. I selected the "do not ask me again" box and hit cancel because I wanted to double check and make sure I had everything first. Now the ipod will not resync. I have tried resetting the sync history as well as the dialog boxes. I even reset the ipod to factory settings but nothing is working. Is there anything else I can do besides use the ipod as an expensive paperweight?

+but the itunes library itself isn't an issue.+
Not to be argumentative, but the itunes library IS the issue if you are got a message that the ipod is synced with another PC, do you want to erase and sync. Perhaps I misunderstood your first post.
An ipod reset is the thing with the center button, explained here

But if you've already restored it to factory settings, never mind resetting it!
A shift-start means you press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes, keep pressing until you see an option to create a new library or choose an old one.
Are you confident that all your items are on your PC and safe? If so, you could see if the ipod would sync to a new blank library. Either using the shift-start, or opening itunes in a different windows user account. Actually the new user is probably a better test, since I know it has completely different preference files.
This one's a stumper. I've never heard of an pod doing this sort of thing after a factory restore. So, it must be some obscure file on the PC causing it.
I wonder...if you go into the ituens store, look at your account, there is a button to reset warnings about buying stuff. It says nothing about ipod syncing, but I wonder if it would give you back the option to get warned again.
