Cheers Dalo, will try that tonight

Thanks for suggestion Mike. It is the latest version of skype and have updated drivers and direct x to no avail. Is there a simple way to test the built in mic without using the voice test in actual skype app? The laptop is only 2 weeks old so hoping its just a simple set up issue that I've overlooked!

When trying to use skype the sound of my voice from my dell 1525 laptop (Vista) comes out higher pitched than it should be - a bit like a recording that has been speeded up. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks Kelly that sounds like a good workaround.

I have lost the use of the left click button on the touchpad of my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop running XP home. If anyone has a cheap remedy to this problem as I am out of guarantee it would be much appreciated.
