Was able to adjust the overall latency setting a few weeks prior to loading Live 5 beta test (16). I tried to make adjustments after having loaded the beta and was unable to do so. I was not aware that it may have had something to do with this beta test. That beta test was extreemely unstable and I had to roll back the windows system to an earlier point. The re instilation of the sound card cured the problem.

I now understand how the overall latency setting is supposed to work. You simply enter in a new value and the latency value is updated as soon as you close the prefferences window and begin recording your next take.
