Windows XP not recognizing the iphone still camera

I have been using successfully iphone (2G) with itunes and photoshop. For last 1 week when i updated the itunes to 8 and iphone to 2.0.2, windows does not recognize the digital still camera. Hence photoshop and picassa can't detect iphone and i can't sync photos from iphone to photoshop and vice versa.
It is working perfectly fine on other PCs. I know that there is something wrong with my windows or iphone drives but can't figure out what.
Itunes is able to detect the iphone and can sync seamlessly. Can anyone help whats going wrong.

One thing that might help.

When the iphone is connected to the computer, click on start.
Then right click on My Computer and choose Manage.
In the computer management window, click device manager on the left hand side.
The to right, look to see if there are any items with exclimation marks or red x.
If one is the iphone or under imaging devices, try reloading the driver or delete is.
If you delete it, disconnect the iphone and reconnect.

Hope this helps.

In Device Manager can you see your iPhone? It should be labeled Portable Devices...Apple iPhone. And like your previous advice here it should not have and red or yellow question or exclamation marks.

If you can see it, but it is not showing up in My Computer as a portable drive then right click on the Apple iPhone entry and "untinstall" it.

This is not as bad as it sounds and will allow Windows to "see" your iPhone and install the proper driver.
