Have you got the appropriate driver for it from the laptop vendors website
for Vista support ?

I had the same problem. After disabling the microphone, I was unable to
enable it again. That is until I opened the Sound window, clicked on
the Recording tab, and then right-clicked in the space under the last
recording device and clicked "Show Disabled Devices." Then I could see
the microphone and enable it again.

And to think that tech support wanted me to re-download and reinstall
all my drivers...

Hope this helps.
