To me... From what your saying your trying to hard, in the Control Panel go to Microphone in classic view and see whats up. Other than that, I've never seen a microphone that had to be installed.

I'm not sure about Vista, but in XP you could go to the control panel, click on sound and audio devices and then on voice, configure your microphone there. Sometimes I had to go to control panel/speech option and run the speech recognition option.

1 of those 2 usually fixes any of my mic problems.
Also, click on your speaker icon in your tray and go to options and then on properties, make sure you have a check mark next to your microphone.
