Hello All:

This is slightly off topic and for that I apologize.  I'm running JAWS
on a Windows Vista machine and want to experiment with Vista Speech
Recognition.  I have a microphone and headphone device that I plugged
into the two jacks on the front of my computer, as I have done with no
problem on an XP machine.  However, I cannot get Vista to recognize the
headphone and microphone plugged into these jacks.  When I go to Speech
Recognition options, I can't get the microphone set up; I get a message
about making sure my audio devices are working correctly.

So, my questions are, how do I get Vista to recognize the headphone and
microphone plugged in at the front of my computer?  And, how do I get it
to set up the microphone?

Thanks in advance for any help.
