iTunes/iPhone problem

Okay, I have been using my Windows Vista desktop computer to sync the two iPhones in my household for over a year. Everything always worked fine up until a month ago.

When I plug my iPhone into my computer (through the dock), iTunes automatically freezes up on screen. If music was playing, it continues playing, but iTunes locks up completely.

So, to sum it up, I cannot even plug in to sync or update the iPhones.

Anyone else had this issue and have a fix for it?
I am starting to think it is a hardware issue, but other usb devices (ie: headphones, usb hubs, and external hard drives) still work in the same usb port, and they do not lock up iTunes.

:(

I know it can't be a power thing. LOL.

Definitely not a power/resources thing. I have almost the same configuration as you; 4GB RAM and 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I get locked up about once a week and I sync about 3 times a day. No need to sync that much, it's just that I plug in to charge and it syncs.

I assume you've tried rebooting multiple times? The problem occurs with both iPhones, right?

Yeah, I have rebooted, and it does happen with both phones. I can't really see it being hardware, so it HAS to be an iTunes issue. We've never had issues with the phones or iTunes before.

Have you tried reinstalling iTunes? Make sure you have all of your music backed up so just in case you lose it on your hard drive, you don't lose it for good. If that doesn't work then I would try a new USB cord. Although it doesn't sound like a hardware issue, it's worth the try.

I have reinstalled iTunes too.

This is starting to sound impossible. I think I am screwed. :/
