Have you tried using MME instead of ASIO? That's always a good place to start when troubleshooting.

Are you recording MIDI or Audio? Are you using the soundcard's soundfonts or are you using the Forte DXi synth, or are you trying to use the Microsoft built-in wavetable synth?

Have you installed the latest update? Have you tried running as administrator? Did you install to the default folder or under Program Files (x86)?

I presume you are running Windows 7 64-bit. Have you updated your Creative soundcard drivers?

Even if you go back to XP, why not try installing PowerTracks 12 to XP? Why do you need to go back to version 8? Actually, you should be able to install both versions and switch between them for comparison purposes.

Just a few things to think about; you probably already have, but just thought I'd ask.
