Hello. Have you tried reinstalling iTunes? Or uninstalling and reinstalling? You may want to try that.

Try putting your pictures onto a thumb drive or an external hard drive, and then try syncing. Or, additionally:

By default, Windows Vista uses an NTFS file system, and for some reason, this causes problems when syncing photos to the iPhone. In order to sidestep this problem, you値l need a USB flash drive, or an external hard drive that is formatted using the FAT32 file system.

Step by step example (We値l use C:\Documents\Pictures as our default photo directory, swap this out with your actual photo directory. We値l use F:\ as our FAT32 formatted drive.):

Copy all pictures from your current NTFS formatted drive C:\Documents\Pictures to F:\Pictures (or to a directory of your choice)
Open iTunes and select the new folder that you want to use to sync photos to your iPhone - F:\Pictures
Sync your iPhone and everything should work smoothly.
Prior to moving all of my files to the FAT32 formatted drive, I was only able to sync 45 out of 102 pictures, now all 102 pictures sync to the iPhone with no problem.
