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.. "T5" wrote in message ...
