iPod shuffle, Windows 7, I think some compatibility issue

The blinking light on the shuffle is good. That means it has a data connection to the computer (and Windows does see it). So, I don't think there is anything wrong with the shuffle itself (or the docking cable). But I don't know why iTunes does not see it, especially since you just uninstalled and reinstalled it.
As a test, shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices. You can leave standard USB keyboard/mouse connected, if used. If your computer is a laptop, its power adapter should be connected so that it's not running on battery power. Put the shuffle's power switch in the OFF position. Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port, by itself. Any difference?
