Lexicon USB & audio drivers

I sure would appreciate any available help.

I am beginning to think I have some sort of conflict with my current audio drivers and a new Lexicon Omega audio interface.
Using Sonar Pro 7, everytime - even with tech support - all the proper drivers & settings are verified when recording of a few seconds MIDI - then recording that MIDI data to audio ([COLOR=lightblue]using WDM[/COLOR] [COLOR=lightblue][COLOR=deepskyblue]not[/COLOR] ASIO - although I have tried both[/COLOR]) is completed and played back the system hangs at a 2nd playback and won't free up unless I disconnect the USB connection to the Omega. Sometimes still crashing Sonar. I have two new Omega units, the problem happens with both. The computer doesn't hang or lock up otherwise.
So for grins I decided to hook up each the Omega to another computer I use in my office and did [COLOR=deepskyblue]not[/COLOR] have the same issues. Each computer is labor specific for my office, so I can't really swap HD's or contents. At least not easily right now.
Both computers are easily more than adequate regarding CPU, ram & space and use XP Pro. os.
[COLOR=lightblue]On the "problem" computer the sound,video and game controller list the following:[/COLOR]

ATI T200 Unified AVStream Driver
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
Realtek High Definition Audio
Video Codecs
(currently have disconnected the Lexicon Omega)

[COLOR=lightblue]The computer that seems to have no problems with the interface has these drivers listed:[/COLOR]

Audio Codecs
CMI8738/C3DX PCI audio device (currently disabled - red X)
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Lexicon Direct Device (currently disabled - red X)
Lexicon USB MIDI Device (Port1)
Lexicon Win USB Audio 1-2
Lexicon Win USB Audio 3-4
Media Control Devices
Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller (currently disabled - red X)
Video Codecs

Are there any clues in the above data that someone could use to help me troubleshoot? The techs at both Cakewalk & Lexicon (Harmon) are not able to figure out the problem.
Although I don't think this has anything to do with it, I am connecting the Omega to a Yamaha Tyros Keyboard - and have also tried it on my Motif with the same results.
