The 2G Shuffle is still associated/tied to your older iTunes library. In order to start using the iPod with the new PC, you'll need to restore the Shuffle to factory settings in iTunes. This will associate it with your new iTunes library.

If you have content on the Shuffle you want to copy over to your new PC first, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
