windows+iPhone=Problems

[StinkyPeas]

So I've had my iPhone 3g for about a month now little to no problems, until one day i plugged in my phone to my usb port and got this little message "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message." . So i click and low and behold all i find out is that windows thinks i don't have the iphone drivers installed. So anyone got any idea's? i have tried a system restore and also reinstalled itunes. i also know that the usb port works because i put my wireless mouse drive in it and it worked fine. I was thinking about putting my phone into recovery mode seeing if that works but i don't want it not to work then i be left with a phone in recovery mode and no way to recover it. Also don't know if this has anything to do with it this did not happen till after i updated to 3.1.3. Thanks for anyone who will help

i downloaded this A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB flash drive, an Apple iPod, or an external hard disk drive and so far it seems to have worked
