My PC (windows xp) does not recognize the iPhone as a digital camera. What do I do?

The iPhone 3G does not show up in My Computer, but syncs OK with iTunes, no problem. I need to back up my photos on the iPhone!! Any help appreciated. Thanks!

iPhone 3G, Windows XP

When I connect my iPhone to a PC running Windows XP just to charge it, the scanner and camera wizard launches automatically prompting me what to do about importing the photos in the Camera Roll. I don't recall having to add my iPhone as a camera first. The scanner and camera wizard detected my iPhone as a camera automatically which it should do without having to do anything extra first - as long as there are photos in the Camera Roll.

I started up another laptop I have and have recently re-installed the OS. It recognized the iPhone and as a digital still camera. I am trying to download the photos using Picasa 3. Don't know why my main laptop doesn't see the iPhone. I have used 3 of the internal USB ports and no luck. Using another laptop tells me the USB cord is fine. I'm stuck.....
