hi,
i may be wrong but i do not think a mic would require drivers.
let's start with the basics first... is the mic jack plugged in well and is it in the correct port? have you tested this mic on another computer (perhaps a PC or another laptop)? have you tried another 'working' mic just to test?
post back what you find out.
EDIT:
this is not a downgrade from Vista to XP, right?
