My iPhone 4S is charging when connected to my computer, but not recognized in iTunes?

When I connect my iPhone 4S into my laptop, it charges, but iTunes does not recognize it as a device. I've updated the most recent version of iTunes, as well as the most recent iPhone software. I've tried re-starting my computer, turning off and on my phone, and reconnecting multiple times, but nothing is working. I also checked Device Manager, and my iPhone is not listed under the USB option. I checked to see if the Apple Mobile Device Manager is installed on my laptop, and it is.

I've also tried two different cords, so I don't think a mangled cord is the problem.

Any advice?

Completely uninstall iTunes and delete all directories except for the one holding the music. Remove old installer packages. Reboot, then install the current iTunes version. Reboot
