I'm not 100 percent on this, as I use XP and I only get to mess with Vista on the computers at school, but I think I remember most of it:

In your start menu:
  1. Open Control Panel
  2. Open Hardware and Sound
  3. Open Sound
  4. Open Recording
  5. Open Microphone and open its Properties
  6. There should be some tabs, like General, etc...
  7. Find a setting in one of these tabs that indicate Mute/Enable/Disable/Level... and make your appropriate selections.
Again, as I'm not at a Vista computer at the moment, that's as far as I can get you in regards to navigation.

Your Microphone should be Enabled, Mute should not be checked, and your Microphone level should be all the way up. I think I remember something about a boost setting, but I wouldn't worry about that for testing purposes.

If I can't resolve this tonight, then tomorrow I'll be able to explore the issue on Vista at school and I can log in to let you know what I come up with.
