Please help me ; I have the following system : System : Microsoft Windows XP; Home Edition 2002 ;Service Pack 2 Hewlett - Packard ; HP Notebook PC ; Intel ® Celeron ™ CPU ;1200 MHz ;1.20 GHz ; 240 MB of RAM. I have Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition - antivirus and the firewall from Microsoft A few days ago, I recovered the system on my computer and the microphone worked (I use the soft "Skype" to speak computer- to- computer). Microsoft asked me to install the updates and at the beginning, when I installed some updates, still the microphone worked. After the install of all Microsoft packs, my microphone didn't work anymore.I checked "sound recorder" and it didn't work and also I checked the volume of the microphone and it was clear. If you experienced same situations like this and you have a solution to make the sound of microphone work again, please let me know. I appreciate your help.
