SONAR 7 DROPOUT Issues with Windows Vista Home

I have used Sonar for years with no issues. I upgraded to Windows Vista Home with an upgrade to Sonar 7 Home Studio as well. From the beginning I have had dropout issues while recording and playing back. It will go for about 1 second and then stop. I don't do anything fancy...no midi, no live recording. I make commercials and edit pre-recorded songs.
 
HP / Model a1730n
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core  4600+  2.4 Ghz
Onboard Realtek High Definition Audio
4.0 GB RAM
500 GB HD
250 GB HD
Windows Vista Home / 32 Bit
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    You can try to see if your onboard sound chip had has vista drivers.

    I would get a recommeded audio sound card (Non Onboard). One with good Vista and Win 7 drivers.

    Update your Realtek driver. Make sure you have unnecessary stuff disabled (the new O/S probably spawns services by default that you don't need in a DAW), especially the wifi adapter if you have one.

    This time, I agree with CJ's advice: get a real audio interface. I don't always suggest that, but in your case you're making commercials, presumably a moneymaking endeavor. You can justify the expense of a quality interface.

    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
