Leaving aside the obvious humour prompted by your wording, have you
turned up the microphone in the Windows mixer (tick the mute box
unless you really want to hear yourself), and have you then pressed
the "Advanced" button and ticked the +20dB box?

If that still doesn't work, go to the control panel and select the
sound related icon. Make sure that the microphone you want to use is
the selected input device.

If all that fails, there is a good chance it is broken.
it isn't broken, it's ok. i used my neighbor's computer to test my
microphone, it functions well. i checked my mixer, the mute box isn't
checked. it seems everything is fine. alas, i really can't figure it
out. it bothers me a lot.
