I had a problem where a window would appear with a folder that said iPod_Control whenever I attached my iPod or put music on it using iTunes. The window would disappear after about 5 seconds.
For some reason, my iPod was detected by Windows as a USB Mass Storage Device. I noticed that there were 2 of these listed in my Device Manager. One of them seemed to indicate a problem with a little yellow icon. After removing both of these Mass Storage Devices, I then restarted my computer. The problem was then solved.

You will also need to purchase an iPod AV cable to work with it as well so that you can attach your iPod to a projector.
