It seems to me that we may all be like the three blind men  
describing an elephant based on what they "felt". 

Let me narrow it down a little, if possible. 

The problem:  I can't install Dragon because the volume is too  
low. 

Searching for the cause brought up two points: 

1.  The microphone isn't installed 
2.  There is no volume adjustment icon on my taskbar 

Therefore, using Bill's directions  
"START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/ENTERTAINMENT/VO 
LUMECONTROL" doesn't work because there is no "volume  
control".  There is also no "record button". 

So, is the elephant a Tree (feeling the legs) or a Great Snake  
(feeling the trunk)?? 

What am I missing that my Microphone won't install?  Simply the  
volume control program? 

Thanks, 

Jim
