media center usb uirt

One other question...my first was that I was wondering if there was any burning and video editing software that would run (I ran Nero 6 and it crashed my CD ROM and DVD drives so that they were unrecognized).
My second is that I have a Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 hooked up to a cable box and a USB-UIRT - to allow me to change channels. It runs fine with Snapstream Beyond TV, but when I try to run Media Center, it reports that it cannot find my USB-UIRT, which Vista found perfectly and installed the driver for. There seems to be nowhere in Media Center to setup this piece of hardware. I am unfamiliar with Media Center, having never run it before.
