Glad to hear that things are moving in the right direction. Sounds like the plugins could have been the problem.

Right, the reason I asked was because wireless cards are notorious for causing drop-outs in audio. Would be best to go into your windows control panel, click on Device Manager, locate your wireless card under Network Adapter, and click on it and then click Disable. You can enable it when you are done with your audio following this same procedure.

Here's a way to check if your wireless card is a problem. Download the DPC Latency Checker from the following site: http://www.thesycon.de/eng/latency_check.shtml . Install and run this program after your computer has been on for about an hour or so to let all software thats goes out looking for updates to complete ( like AV software ). Look especially for really large spikes that occur at regular intervals, say every 30 seconds. This, in many cases, is the wireless card polling. Disable the card to see if it makes a different in latency levels using the Checker.
