Something could have happened to the installation of the Apple Mobile Device Support. All you have to do is uninstall, and then reinstall iTunes, and it should resolve the issue for you. There's a certain order that you need to uninstall iTunes in:

Windows Vista/Windows 7 - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
