Question Posted Friday March 25 2005, 1:39 pm

Hey, I asked the question on the site "I just got a new Gateway lap top that I'm on right now. I can't find the place where you plug in the microphone so you can talk on AIM and use the sound recorder. Can anyone please help me?"

You responded "It could of come installed in the monitor. If not and it probably isnt. See if its a USB mic. If so just plug it into a USB port on your computer."

Thanks for helping, but could you help me a little more? I'm not the smartest with computers lol. First of all, if the microphone came installed in the monitor where would it be? If it isn't then how do I know if the microphone is a USB mic, and what is a USB mic? Lastly, where is the USB port on my computer?

Thanks in advance!

You said gateway computer not lap top so disregard the mic in the monitor answer.

A USB port will have a rectangular place to insert the plug. To know if its USB the plug itself will look some what flat. It will have a rectangular look to it. So if its small almost flat and in the shape of a rectangle. Its a USB. USB ports are either on the front of your computer. But, you ahve a laptop so it wont be there. The back is where you'll find it. It gateway was nice they might have even labled it for you. Just match that plug with the plugs in the back.
