using USB microphone with powerpoint

Have a new Logitech USB microphone, but can not get
powerpoint for XP to recognize and use it. I keep
getting an error message that powerpoint is not getting
any sound. Have spent hours with powerpoint program and
with volume control that seems to recognize the mic as
a "WAVE IN" device and not the microphone.

Try clicking on the Volume icon in your system tray. In the window that opens,
go to Options Properties. In the Properties dialog check "Recording" and then
make sure that Microphone is checked in the list. Close that dialog and you'll
now see a dialog that is labeled "Capture" and the Microphone should be
selected. Let us know if that does the trick for you.
