Vista - A number of issues, please help

I have just upgraded from win MCE to Vista Home Premium and after a whole
day of BSOD's I have finally got my system to boot correctly without blue
screening. I have a number of issues that I require help with.

Here is my sys spec

AMD dual core 64 bit x 3800+
300gb HDD
4gb pc 3200 DDram
Nvidia geo 6800LE
Asus A8N-E Mobo
Blackgold TV tuner Card

1. I cannot get the Media centre in vista to work as it says that I do not
have a tuner card installed .... clearly I do, but blackgold dont seem to be
forthcoming with the software and the old software that came with my pc
doesn't work. Which drivers will enable me to use the media centre?

2. I am unsure which drivers I should have for my soundcard.... the sound
works but only just.

3. I have System Mechanic 7.0 Pro installed but whenever I boot it asks me
if I give permission for it to load, how can I stop this from happening?

4. I have 4 entries of unknown devices listed in device manager (I beleive
these could be the tv tuner card ) but how do I install drivers for them if
they cannot be read from the old driver cd?

#1, 2 and 4 are all driver issues and should be addressed to the hardware
manufacturer.. Microsoft are not responsible for hardware drivers..

#3.. Uninstall System Mechanic.. job done..
