I keep speaking (posting) too soon
Problem NOT solved. Instead of re-typing all this stuff, here's a copy of my E-mail to Aardvark. There's a little tidbit at the end that seems like it could be the key to all this but I'm obviously not a very good computer geek so I don't know.

After the fix listed below, I got several good playbacks out of what I had originally recorded (8trk 24/96) Then problems cropped back up. At first it was just a hiccup here and there that would cause one track to be out of sync but it quickly degenerated into the playback being 8 tracks of out of sync, stuttering mayhem. And finally to the point where I hit play, it waits 10-20 seconds and then goes through the motions, but no sound. This is pretty much what happened before. It started out O.K. and quickly (over the space of 4-6 attempted playbacks) degenerated into chaos. I can play the song I recorded in 16/44 but it's gibberish.
Here's some of the info you requested:
From Fresh Diagnose: Drv C: (OS and APPS) Write Speed avg 20.44 MB/s Read speed avg 38.57 Mb/s
Drv D: (Second Partition on master Drv): WSA 21.62 Mb/s RSA 27.89 Mb/s
Drv G: (slave HD) WSA 20.62 RSA 29.15
From Aardvark advanced: PCI bus efficiency %100
sample rate 96.00xxx kHz
Driver version: 7.04
DSP version 7.20
Cakewalk is setup according to the quickstart in the manual
One thing I forgot to mention, and may be very important is in Cakewalk Options>Audio>driver bit depth if I select 24, I get a message that the Q10 does not support this.
Also, when the problems first re-appeared I tried increasing latency. This just made things worse. I then put the slider all the way to fast and it actually seemed to help, but only briefly. I've set it back in the middle but it doesn't do anything.

Re: Re: MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH!!!
Well, I don't know, does it? Look man, I'm a Rock N' Roller, not a computer wiz
By the way, that advice is specifically for XP.

Just a little new info
Ben
In Cakewalk Options>Audio I selected Driver Bit Depth 16 then File Bit Depth 16 then closed and restarted Cakewalk. It didn't help.
I then opened Aardvark manager and noticed it had seemingly "reset" itself in that, under Source Select, in the white box it was set at "INT 96" but underneath it it said 44.100kHz. I re-selected "INT 96" from the list and it changed to 96.000 khz.
I was then able to successfully record 8 tracks (again, simultaniously). When I played them back there was a noticable dropout at the begining but otherwise they played O.K. Then, ONCE AGAIN, the playback began to deteriorate. When I attempt to playback from the begining, it starts out as bad as the previous playback ended.

I think I am missing something....
didn't dachay2tnr say that PA9 was not supported under XP? That would seem to be the problem, right? (I am really askin, not trying to be a wise ass.. I might have missed some of the stuff after dachay2tnr's post, it is late....)
As far as the Q10, I have had mine for over a year now (rough guesstimate) I am running an Athlon XP 1700, and WinXP. I have not had any problems that I could point at the Q10, or cakewalk. The only real problems I had were:
Issues with the on board sound on my Mboard. - disabled it, prob dissapeared.
CWP files givin me "can't find WAVs" error when I tried to open them. Turned out to be a hard drive going SLOWLY bad.
I also had some other issues with Sonar that turrned out to be system corruptions that affected EVERYTHING else. I jsut discovered the prob in Sonar first. Formatted, clean installs of OS and drivers, then Sonar, and a new resolve NOT to install other non REcording crap on my DAW, and those never returned.
Dunno if this helps, but there's my $.02.

and also.....
I have always set the sample rate/bit depth in the Aark manager before I even opened up Sonar. well, that is how I remember it, at least. I havent changed those settings in a while. My default is now the one I always use.
