Again, Thanks for all the replies. You guys Rock!!  I will be soon as I get home from the office I hope.

Daddy: had to step out... see your running the 308 patch and do Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012.... http://www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx?id=30679 then we can do chipset and video drivers, in this case we can try your Laptops home page support, there you will find chipset and video drivers !!

For the pan issue, make sure you are working with something that can be panned.  For example, a mono track routed to a mono bus won't pan, nor will mono clips on a mono track (even if the bus is stereo). 
 
For the other stuff... in addition to everything already suggested, you may want to disable the on-board sound card.
 

DaddyV: I went here http://shopping.hp.com/en...ce/-/static/page-ts520 support& drivers.. at top http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html saw this : 2 matches found.

Check your PC BIOS settings for AMD power now (consult your PC manual for instructions to get into the BIOS). If that doesn't work you may want to switch it back on.

StarTekh's suggestion is a good one above (maybe do that first), but don't rely 100% as often they will NOT supply the latest drivers (apart from HP hardware). Often you need to go direct to the manufacturers sites. So if your graphics card is nVidia , you generally go to nVidia's site. To find about about your hardware go to device manager (google it if you can't find it).

@ StarTeKh.....yes that is the computer with the upgrades that I posted earlier. I just downloaded the C++ updates and I am looking for the rest now.
