Well of course Windows doesn't see an Itouch since there is no such thing as an Itouch. That's like saying Windows doesn't see the flying spaghetti monster floating above your house.
OK, in all seriousness, it sounds like something is wrong with the background program Apple Mobile Device Support. I suggest you open up the Control Panel and uninstall every bit of Apple software you come across as there will be more than just iTunes. Then re-download a new iTunes installation file from Apple's website and install it. Make sure you download the appropriate version as there are two: 32-bit and 64-bit. Sometimes Apple's website is unable to determine if the version of Windows being run is 32-bit or 64-bit. You want to download the installer that is appropriate for the version of Windows you are using.
