    I have a M6850FX from Gateway and my Laptops Mic work perfectly. I bet your mic is shot dude. Everyone I know who has that same computer with Vista or XP on it, has there MIC working just fine.

    Although some people have been having problems with the driver for the M6850FX in XP, I have a few freinds (sorry, but we program applications, so we tweaked a few things) to get our drivers working just fine for XP. However, for the FX brand, having Vista is hwat it was desghned for, and will always be what you should run for this computer inorder to have everything functioning correctly.
