Why isn’t my iPod touch working well? Why is my computer recognizing it as a camera?

I have a DELL Windows XP computer and I just got an iPod Touch (2nd Gen) for my graduation. I plug in the iPod because when I click on it has the cable showing it being connected to itunes. Now, when I plug in the ipod cable into my computer, it’ll recognize it as a camera. First it recognizes it as an ipod, then a camera. When I’ll plug it into the usb again, the window will show up with what I can do – edit the photos or copy the photos onto the computer. Then it says there are no photos in device – 0 out of 21000. I can’t connect it to itunes because its not being known as an ipod. In the beginning I cant even register the ipod, as it should be doing when I hook it up. I want to know if its the ipod or the computer’s fault that this is happening, if it’s the computer I have to do it on someone else’s and if its the ipod i can exchange it.

Thank you for the help, and please give advice!
Also, why is itunes saying my music store wont work. It says check your internet connection or try again later.
Also, when I downloaded itunes after it installed it asked if i wanted to install the newer version, but the person who was doing it for me x’d out of it.
It’s 8 GB.
