Optimise Windows 8 for Cubase 7

Hi, I seem to be having the same problems as your post only I am using win7 pro , with a quad core system and 8 gigs of ram , as an interface I am using a Zoom r16 but have had no luck in either 32bit or 64 bit , with cubase 6 and this setup , I have a Post in this site , what is your thoughts on this , I contacted steinberg support and their thoughts are that it is the zoom r16 driver that is causing my problems , well dont know your thoughts but I am not in the position to rewrite driver software and keep spending money only to find issues with what is supposed to work. I used the zoomr16 with win xp , and was super exicited to go to the next level as it were, however as per above going full tilt has caused me a huge headache, any one running a simailar setup , also wondering if I should consider as a last ditch effort to go with a Presonus Interface instead of the R16 , Please help anyone !!!
