Your microphone won't wont? I'd say it's fixed then.

Seriously though, have you checked your audio settings? I remember going over this with you before in Vista about how to check whether your microphone channel in Vista's audio mixer is muted or not. Not sure if you remember the steps, but generally you should be able to find your audio settings in Control Panel > Sound/Audio (or whatever it is in Vista)
Make sure the channel labeled Microphone is not muted and that it is turned up.
Also ensure that your microphone is plugged into the microphone input port, not the line input port or the headphone output port.
