First double click on the speaker icon in your system tray (located in the lower right hand corner on your screen).

Then click on "options", select "properties", and click on "recording" button, make sure that "microphone" has a check beside it and click OK.

Make sure that the volume slider for the microphone is set somewhere in the middle and click on the check box below it.
