It most likely means that the software on the MCU is not configuring the USB (on the MCU side) correctly; probably not sending the correct HID initialisation strings.

It's easiest to start by loading one of the simple example programs from Microchip (like an HID keyboard emulator), to see how it works.

Note also that your program needs to continually call a USB 'keep-alive' function, every 10ms I think, otherwise the PC will lose the connection. You'll see this function in the main loop in Microchip's examples.
