why dose my iphone say ' this iphone cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started.' when i try and sync it?

Every time i plug my iPhone into iTunes to sync it, it comes up with 'This iPhone cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started'.



Has this happened to anyone else and how do i fix it???

iPhone 3G, Windows XP
