iPod touch Can't sync info with iTunes 7.7 and Firmware 2.0

[drmario]

I have a computer running windows xp pro. I have IE 7 and microsoft office installed on it but don't use them. (I prefer firefox and thunderbird). Before I had itunes 7.7 and firmware 2.0. IE and Outlook showed up in itunes under the 'sync info' tab with iTunes 7.6. I was then able to take my import my firefox bookmarks and other info into the microsoft programs and sync them. Now in iTunes 7.7 nothing shows up for calenders, contacts, or bookmarks. The microsoft programs aren't the default browser or email client, but they weren't the defaults when I was still on itunes 7.6 either. Is there anyway that I can make these show up again in iTunes short of making them the default programs on my computer? Now with all the third party apps and my ipod having email I would really like to be able to sync over my contacts and other info.
