Thank U tomcat for your help, I'll give these things a try when I'm feeling brave

it just isn't working

I am having a problem with the microphone on my monitor. It isn't working and I do not know what to do. I have tested it many times. The speakers work fine. I am wondering if having broadband(DSL) has anything to do with this. I have another computer that is the same make, HP, but the voice program is different. That one is on a dial up set up. This ones program is called "direct play voice setup", file verson 5.1.2600.1106(xpsp1.020828-1920), file name is "dvpsetup.exe". Is anyone out there familiar with any of this and if so will you please help me to get my mic to work. I need to add that when I attempt to check the mic through the test I get an error messsage"windows cannot execute dpv setup.exe, use add/remove programs control panel to install", when I do this I am asked for the windows xp disc. which I do not haave and do not know how to obtain.
