Windows Vista/iTunes will not recognize 3GS

I've never had this problem before, my iPhone/Laptop has been working fine for the few years that I've had it. Not only will the iPhone not show up on iTunes, but it's not even showing up on My Computer. I've attempted almost every troubleshooting method this site and others have to offer that I've lost count as to how many I've tried. iTunes is updated and I'm running iOS 4.0.1.


I've disabled firewalls, I've disabled/enabled Apple Mobile Device in the Service menus; I've also gone to the Device Manager menu's but it doesn't even show up. Any help would be appreciated.

iPhone 3GS, iOS 4

Really guys? Nothing? Since my last post I've tried taking the SIM card out. Done both DFU and Recovery Mode. Tried going back to later version of iTunes and Apple Mobile Device. I've also run Diagonstics and this is what I got. Maybe it'll help.
