Hello Peter:
    Look for the sound icon in your system tray in the lower right-hand
corner of your screen. It may look like a tiny speaker or volume control.
Double-click on the icon.
    In the dialog that comes up, look for the microphone control. If it is
not visible, look for something like a Show or View menu at the top of the
dialog and click on it. The dialog varies according to your sound card and
software so what you see may not be the same as what I get. In the Show or
View menu, make sure microphone is selected.
    Once you've found the microphone control, look for something like a
boost control. Click the button, check the checkbox or whatever you have to
do to select the boost control.
    Doing this should add some volume (I believe its about 20 dB) to your
microphone.

hope this helps,
                        bruce
