Omnistudio despair!

Hidiho - have been having troubles with my omnistudio and would really really love to know how to fix it.

I bought omnistudio about 5 months ago, and at first it worked no probs. Then, something must have changed cos I can no longer record from it to my computer, just playback from my computer/turntables through it to my stereo.

I use soundforge 7 to record and my computer is a toshiba satellite 2410 laptop with windows xp, pentium 4, 512MB RAM. USB 1 but that's what omnistudio is designed for, right?

before i just used to go into volume control > options > properties > recording > ok. then record in soundforge no problem.

now, however, when i go into volume control to record there is no "ok" - it is faded out and unselectable. Soundforge doesn't receive any signal from omnistudio.

so far;
read rather skimpy manual a lot of times.
reinstalled drivers many many times, with registry cleans, most recent drivers downloaded from m-audio. reinstalled with all security programmes off (am using norton and ad-watch).

have written to m-audio tech support - no reply. then wrote an angry email to the japan office cos that's where i live and got a reply telling me to check Soundforge's ASIO drivers or something. I've looked through soundforge and nowhere can I find anything about ASIO.

have read a lot of threads in various forums about related problems, but haven't found the answer (probably because of me not understanding a lot of the technical words this hobby seems to demand!)

the next step? what do you recommend from below.
> reinstall soundforge.
> get another recording software like cooledit.
> get a new computer and hope it installs OK (thinking about getting a desktop anyway).
> something else?

Anyway, I'm really wanting to put real sounds into my fruity tracks, and that's what i got the omnistudio for. it seems to me that the problem should be somewhere in my hardware configurations, but i really don't know. please can someone out there help me get this sorted?
