This is an update. First, I should thank everyone who provide help, that's great. After play around settings and registry (I imported some entries from a friend PC with same card), I can now record, but Creative recorder no longer works, it says something missing or corrupted. Anyway, I now need to find a free software that can record and editing. I will play audacity a bit later (lack of time now). since this is just a one time project, I don't want to spend money on software. THX for your help.
