Win8 and X2: now not drawing audio waveforms?

over the weekend I took the plunge with Win8 x64 with a clean install.
everything works aside from a few hassles with maschine and a fantom xr drivers. now they are fine.
anyway.
now I see that Sonar won't draw the audio waveforms while recording or if I select "draw selected waveforms". where the drawing should be, theres just a flat line.
 
any ideas?

    I had this on my windows 7 machine with X2.  Right click on the waveforms and select rebuild. Once I had done that I didn't have any problems. 

    HTH.

    Double check that your Playback Timing master is set to something under preferences. If it's not SONAR won't draw the waveforms.

    StinGA--- already did this (see description) and this didn't work either. done it multiple times.

    "Playback Timing" checked/changed and still not working.

    Are you running SONAR as administrator?

    I've selected/de-selected View->Display->Show clip contents on/off.

    also did a "select all" and tried to rebuild/redraw all of the waveforms.
    also changed my directory for writing picture files.

    good lord, selecting the icon and forcing it to "run as administrator" instantly made all the picture files snap up.
    I swear I did this a few times?

    weird.

    thanks for the help.
    loving windows 8 so far.

    Yeah, it was looking pretty grim. Makes me wonder what permissions the picture cache directory has.
