Jo~ My Dell is an Inspiron 6000. I don't have the mike or camera indicators that show on Anne's pic in her post. My DS ordered my laptop for me a few yrs ago and I don't think I have a built in mike where indicated.

I'm w/you Anne~ I'm giving up on it for now. There isn't any frustration left in me to fight w/my pc right now. This is a great forum though, and I need to visit it more, if not just to read. I'm such a pc illiterate.

Thanks all~~~~~
