Step 1:  Get rid of windows ME.  It's crappy and nobody uses it anymore, because nobody liked it in the first place.  You can run either windows 98 or windows 2000 on that machine.  \n\nStep 2:  Follow step 1, your problem will be solved.

It goes in the microphone slot on the back of the PC. Should be color coded.

you need to go into your control panel to the SOUNDS section (in the classic view).\n\nTHen make sure the PLACE VOLUME BUTTON in task bar is selected (this just makes it easier to do this going forward).\n\nthen close that window - and there should be a little speaker in your lower right corner.  Double CLICK that... and then choose OPTIONS, then PROPERTIES, then switch to RECORDING. \n\nNow at this point - every sound card is SLIGHTLY different...  You need to look in that middle box for something that says either WAV, or WHAT YOU HEAR, or ALL SOUNDS or something along those lines and make sure it's checked.\n\nThen click OK - and the volume window will open... check that box on the volume window (usually only one can be checkd at a time).  Once it is - then your computer will now record any audio it hears.  \n\nSo it would then be up to you to use your sound recorder of choice.  There are many free ones.  I use Sound Forge.. but it's expensive.  \n\nIf you go to tucows.com or download.com you can probably find a freeware sound recorder that is better then the one in windows - but you can use the windows one if you have no other choice  (START, PROGRAMS, ACCESS., ENTERTAINMENT, SOUND RECORDER).\n\nHope that helps -

I'm assuming this is first time you've tried using a mic on your computer? If so, double click the little speaker icon down by clock...This will bring up your volume control box..At top left click on options>properties..this will bring up a smaller box..in this box make sure there is a checkmark by Mic in both record and playback

Considering you haven't used the PC to PC calls, either, I suggest you go thru' Y! Msger Wizard to help you with the voice setup.\n\n1stly, make sure your headset connections are in the correct input.\n\n2ndly, click on the 'Actions' tab, look for 'Call setup'. Follow the 3 easy instructions to see if your mic & earphones are working properly.\n\nIn case it tells you that the mic and/or earphones is/are not detected, change your input connections. Simply reverse them (black into red & red into black or whatever colours your plugs are coded with) & try again to see if it works.\n\nBeyond this, I guess you'd need your friendly neighbour's help in person.\n\n:o)

Well, it depends on what version of Windows you have.  If you have Windows XP, go to :\nControl Panel>Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices>Sounds and Audio Devices>and then go to the Sounds tab.  There you can edit what sound you want to play for each event in the list.  Hope this helps!

Start/Settings/Control Panel/Security Center...You can turn it on/off from there\n\nEDIT:  Sorry! Had a brain fart...wasn't paying attention. I thought you were talking about Media Center.\n\nTry going here (if you haven't already) and click on support tab...\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsme/

Note: Instructions presume Windows XP. For other OS, the instructions will be similar but you will have to find the right buttons yourself.\n\nHere are the first few things to try:\n\nOpen the sounds options as: Start->Settings->Control Panel->Sound & Audio Devices.\n\nUnder the volume tab, click 'Advanced' in the 'Device volume' section. Make sure that the 'mute' checkbox under Microphone is unchecked.\n\nThe other things to do is to make sure that the mic is properly plugged in. Also go to Start->Accessories->Entertainment->Sound recorder and try to record something from the mic into the recorder to see if the mic works (so you can be sure its indeed a mic issue and not a Yahoo! Messenger configuration problem). If you cannot find the sound recorder program, you can run it manually by clicking Start->Run and then copy pasting the text below in the box that comes up (Note that you will have to remove the space I put in after the last '&#92;'...this is a Yahoo! Answers limitation):\n"%SystemRoot%&#92;System32&#92; sndrec32.exe"

You must have microphone & speaker connected to your computer and set in Yahoo Messenger. Yahoo Messenger will tell you whether it is connected while you setting it up.

Windows Sound Recorder (start &#92; prorgrams &#92; accessories &#92; entertainment) or Audacity (free download) will record from a mic-source plugged into the microphone jack on your soundcard.  Both of these programs work with familiar tape-deck style controls, so if you can't get it to work, you likely have a hardware issue.

Go into Control Panel on Widows, then Sounds and Audio Devices, click on Sounds, Voice and Audio tabs in turn, and alter the settings so that they are defaulted to your soundcard.\nIf this dont work, your soundcard driver could want updating.
