pops and clicks when recording

I recently changed from Windows XP to 7 and noticed that my recordings are experiencing significant pops and clicks. I am using the latest Lynx driver and firmware. I use Audacity to digitise LPs. This setup (comprising Pc and L22 card) has beeen working well for years, before the recent change to W7, so I'm guessing that this may be the culprit. If it is a driver issue, is there a chance that this can be fixed? If not, are there any practical solutions? Like using a different recording program, even one that isn't free, like Audacity? Going to an OS other than W7 would be the least preferred option.

Thanks for any suggestions,

I am aware that W7 has been causing problems to many folks and have seen a few topics on several forums, most of them more than a year old now. I would just like to add that I have no problems playing music, only recording. For playback, I use JRiver MC 16, and have not had any issues at all (playing both 24/96 and redbook files). In that respect, the system works like a charm.

So, I'm not sure if it's an Audacity issue or L22, but it's definitely a combination of the two. Again, it all used to work extremely well a few months ago, and I'd like to get back to that same level of performance.

Thanks in advance for any more suggestions / ideas,

I'm not sure how to change the memory buffer setting that Mike suggested?

Thanks,
