How to use older iPod with Windows 7 & latest iTunes?

I have ipod classic 5th generation 30g that still has a lot of my music on it. My computer with iTunes version that synched with it crashed. New VAIO Windows 7 laptop can't recognize the hardware. Where can I get a driver for the VAIO Windows 7? Can I use my iPod with the latest iTunes? Will I ever be able to load new music to this older iPod?

iPod 5th generation 30gb-OTHER, Windows 7, vintage iPod 5th generation 30g

I fixed this by un-installing iTunes. Next installed latest version for 64bit Windows 7. Opened iTunes and connected my iPod to my laptop using the USB cable. The driver was automatically updated and iTunes was able to recognize the older iPod and copied all my purchased music to iTunes on my new VAIO.

Yeaaa!
