1) open device manager, either by right clicking on computer, and then clicking manage, and then finally on device manager, or by typing
devmgmt.msc in the search (or run) box on the bottom of the start menu and hitting enter.
2) find the ipod, it (should) be listed under digital cameras (or something to that effect), right click it and choose "update driver software"
3) choose "browse my computer for driver software"
4) for the location (you must have itunes already installed) use C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers (substitute C: for whatever your system drive letter is) and click next, windows should find the CORRECT driver in that location and proceed to update the driver
5) after the update is complete click finish to close the dialog box, then unplug the ipod and plug it back in. itunes should now recognize the ipod.
edit: if thats not the correct driver location I think you just need to search for usbaapl
it could be in like C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE or C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65…
your looking for usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf, usbaapl64.sys, or usbaapl64.inf
