Line-In Sound Delay while recording

Line-In Sound Delay in Windows 7 - Please help!

How can I bypass the aspect of Windows 7 that converts analog -> digital -> audio signals? I have a hardware setup that I have run exactly as it is on XP and did not detect a delay, and many musician forums describe this issue with Windows 7.  More precisely - I plug my guitar into my sound card, onboard or my additional PCI card, either has a delay between when I pluck the strings to when I hear the sound and it is impossible for me to record.  Please help an any way you know how.

Here's how I fixed my latency problems. It bypasses all the sound drivers and as a result, you can't use any global equalizers or anything.

Go into control panel>sound

click on speakers and select properties

go to levels and scroll down to line in. Make sure that it's unmuted and has the volume turned up.

Now click okay, go to the recording tab, and select line in's properties

go to the listen tab, and uncheck "listen to this device"

This should fix your problem. It fixed my problem with my xbox 360 sound feeding into my line in. Hearing gunshots a split second late messes with your mind.
