Windows 7 iPhone Driver Reinstallation Issues on Windows 7: Seeking Solutions

[Beaker]

I have had my Iphone plugged into my system with W7 7000 installed from day one without any problems.
But over the last few weeks each time I plug it in, to synch or charge it, it always reinstalls the drivers.
Has anyone got any ideas why?
