"Your computer hates you" asio message

So, I've got Win. 32bit vista and sonar 7, I kept getting audio dropouts going into the different driver modes, (MME seems to be the only one that works, for a while), when I try to use asio, nothing happens, and an asio error message comes up, with a bunch of stuff followed by "your computer hates you".
 
I'm using a Yamaha mg166C USB mixer as my audio-in, (USB stereo in, Master out), and well, this driver business has me a bit flustered.  Has anyone encountered this before and was able to solve it?  I have no idea if its a sonar, yamaha, or windows issue. 
 
Any input would be VERY much apprieciated.  I was about to drop-kick my laptop last night over this.

    I'm sure there are other people more knowledgeable than me who have good ideas but as a first step you might want to disconnect the Yamaha  mixer and try playing something using your computer's built in sound card.  You'll probably have to set the audio options: buffers and buffers in queue to maximum delay but you'll at least confirm the problem isn't with Sonar if you hear good sound without dropouts.  Be sure to restart sonar after making changes to those audio settings.

    it would be more helpful to know the EXACT message you're getting.

    also, if ASIO doesn't work, don't use MME, that's the slowest protocol available.  does WDM work?

    Well, the studio doesn't have an internet connect and I don't have the thing in front of me at the moment, but basically, when I open up the ASIO box, it lists drivers and shows the Yamaha as unavailable.  My guess is this is a conflict between ASIO and the Yamaha mixer.  Its basic USB stereo audio.  The ASIO I have was downloaded via ASIO4ALL and was free, (not sure if there are any others out there)...

    The WDM drivers drop out almost instantly. 

    I have used ASIO before sucessfully on this computer with my VST plug-in and midi controller, this only started when I was trying to run USB audio from the Yamaha into the thing...so....and the yamaha works with MME, just not very well.  I would love to disregard MME.  Is it possible that when I select ASIO as the driver mode MME is somehow still getting whats coming out of this yamaha mixer?

    Well in answer to my own question there is a Yamaha ASIO driver for Yamaha I just learned about I'll give that a shot.  I really wish these manufacturers would make people a bit more informed prior to them forking out money. 

    Oh well Maybe Cakewalk's conference with Microsoft will usher a new era of compatibility.  I should just learn than any of these mystery problems are Microsoft 99.9999% of the time.

    I'm guessing your problem might have to do with Windows Vista. My Lexicon interface sure didn't play nice with my Vista laptop. Go back to Windows XP if you can, there's no performance advantage to running Vista.
