Vista on Boot Camp

It's a common issue, I'm sure, but the guys on the Apple forums tend to reply with something petty and then shut up for another 5 months, so I'll try here.

I've been trying to run Windows Vista on Boot Camp and I'm having issues with sound and wireless connectivity. I've attempted various solutions which have done bugger all and this is the state I'm in now; I've installed the Boot Camp drivers about three times now, and they seem to do nothing. I've downloaded Realtek sound drivers myself, and now the keyboard seems to be playing up; pressing the Volume buttons pops up with the sound icon onscreen but with the "no entry" symbol under it, so I can't control the sound. Therefore, no sound.

As for wireless, I can receive a signal easily on Mac OS X but I've installed various drivers and whatever; got no signal at all. Somebody on the Apple Forums suggested ethernet, but that completely defeats the point of trying to get a wireless signal.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I was using XP on Parallels but when it came to tasks that required more processing power, things started getting annoying, so I tried using Boot Camp to get the full power of the Mac. Now I can't even get sound out of the soddin' thing...

How did you install the Boot Camp drivers?

I installed them by putting my Mac OS X Leopard disc into the Mac. It starts a driver installation programme for all sorts of things, including built-in iSight, although that doesn't work for some reason.
