Hi Jim. Sorry you've been having so much trouble. You are fortunate to have Gary on the case; he's the best.

1. Always better to change one thing at a time, then test. Hard to resist, I know...

2. There is only one ASIO4ALL driver available, and it has no relation to Coyote Forte or any other synth you might consider. ASIO4ALL is not ASIO, but a wrapper for MME, and I'm not surprised you are getting latency. You have a RealTek sound card, and I suggest you consider upgrading that.

3. No. I have Windows 7 and do not have to choose like you describe.
