I recently purchase a Labtech headset for play with World of Warcraft, and during the first day or two of ownership, the microphone worked fine and the world was a beautiful place with rainbows and gumdrops for all.

Then one day a "friend" ( meaning me ), plugged in the headset (not USB) to my Inspiron 1501 laptop, and when the little window popped up asking me what program to use with this, i simply clicked on "don't ask me again", (being inebriated and annoyed at the question) and since then, my headset only receives audio but won't acknowledge the existence of my microphone. When i go into the speech recognition settings to restore it, it won't let me get past the microphone test section where it asks you to say a phrase into the mic. The box to click next is greyed out as well.

If someone can please help me restore my mic so i can stop typing so much in Warcraft, i will vow never to use my comp after an evening of drinking again. I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic.

I am not in front of my Vista box right now, but I would try to go to device manager and remove the microphone, hopefully then windows will redetect it again.

that seemed to do the trick, lol, thank you so much for the help.
