Microphone problem

[JB]

I have XP home on a Toshiba laptop

My microphone sound is very low, I opened ControlPanel/Sounds/Audio/Audio
Recording/Volume and something strange is happening: the slide is at the
bottom; when I drag it up it goes down again slowly ON ITS OWN.

When I try to see the Recording Control box from the icon near the clock and
go into Options/Properties the only button available is the Reproduction and
not the Recording.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thank you

JB

Please ignore earlier message. The prob is with the mike. Need to buy a new
one!
