I am having a nasty sound card/software problem where my microphone
is not being recognized by any of the programs that require it. It
just stopped working after installing a voice recognition software.
This problem is being addressed at a snails pace by the software maker
and my computer manufacturer's support team. Two weeks and many, many
hours have passed and I still cannot record via the mic (headset
actually). Re-installing drivers and checking settings has been done
over and over. The mic has been replaced and nothing. I am leary of
sending in the machine, a laptop, for fear the manufacturer will just
wipe everything clean and reinstall the OS.
Can I reinstall Windows XP Home edition and keep my progs and
settings the way one could in Win98? If so are there any gotchas that
I should be aware of. I have the original installation disk but lack
much experience re-installing OSs. Is there another angle on this?
Thanks for any help with this.
