I'm not 100 percent on this, as I use XP and I only get to mess with Vista on the computers at school, but I think I remember most of it:

In your start menu:
  1. Open Control Panel
  2. Open Hardware and Sound
  3. Open Sound
  4. Open Recording
  5. Open Microphone and open its Properties
  6. There should be some tabs, like General, etc...
  7. Find a setting in one of these tabs that indicate Mute/Enable/Disable/Level... and make your appropriate selections.
Again, as I'm not at a Vista computer at the moment, that's as far as I can get you in regards to navigation.

Your Microphone should be Enabled, Mute should not be checked, and your Microphone level should be all the way up. I think I remember something about a boost setting, but I wouldn't worry about that for testing purposes.

If I can't resolve this tonight, then tomorrow I'll be able to explore the issue on Vista at school and I can log in to let you know what I come up with.

Is there a Mac equivalent to Windows' Add/Remove and De-fragmentation ?

Mojo 09-25-2009 06:59 AM

As far as im aware there are programs you can download to de-frag a mac's hard drive. Someone who actually knows jack about mac's may be able to point you in the right direction or suggest a possible easier solution.

As for add/remove programs, don't you just drag programs into the trash can/recycle bin?

That is what I do usually, but as I'm an ex-Windows, I'm used to feel that this isn't enough. If it's enough shouldn't there be some un-install button somewhere?

Mojo 09-25-2009 12:52 PM

Heh yeah i know it feels like there should be more to it. I suppose there could be but thats all ive ever known.

If you installed the program via an install package, there should be an uninstaller in the application's folder. If there isn't, there isn't much you can do beyond deleting the application itself and all associated files.
