Hi all,

For what it's worth, after trouble shooting 3 different DAWs, 2 different firewire soundcards, and multiple driver configurations, I finally solved my issue by wiping Vista and installing a clean version of XP pro. Life is currently grand using Reaper, Presonus Firebox, and ASIO4ALL (because the Presonus ASIO drivers worked, but with serious and unfixable latency).

Vista users, if you can, make Factory Image Vista recovery DVDs from your partition (there is a wizard in Vista that will let you do this), grab a $50 unactivated copy of XP home from ebay, and start from scratch. From my conversations with a helpful HP tech support rep, Vista apparently "looks" at audio data in a fundamentally different way from XP, which may be causing it to conflict in the pro-audio interface department.

Worst case scenario, you can always pop vista back on from the recovery discs, thus keeping your new CPU (and warrenty) intact.

Hope this helps any who are struggling as I certainly was.
