Hi Drew

I have tried what you suggested, but in the instructions on setting up a
microphone there is this:
''To test the connection:
Open Speech in Control Panel.
Select the Speech Recognition tab. ''

Only there IS NO Speech Recognitioin tab!!

Should I contact Dell? Have they missed out a bit of the installation?

Ray,

A good place to check to make sure the mike is setup correctly is the
'Help
& Support' after clicking the 'Start' button. Type in microphone in the
search box, then click 'See Possible Speech Recognition Problems' for a
litany of possible problems or setups.

I bought a (very cheap) microphone to use on my Dell, but it didn't
work,
so
I bought a more expensive one from Maplins - still no joy. I plugged in
at
the front, and then I plugged it in at the back which did at least
produce
a
response from the machine which asked me to confirm it was a mike. I
tried
the control panel, but the tester reports it can pick up nothing at
all.
What am I missing here?
