Hello Lestat,
It's interesting that you have picked this name as your username. Is there a reason? Perhaps you have read some of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles? I've read many of her books so I'm just curious.
Sincerely,
Xiaomuou (Megan)

Sorry it would seem something is wrong with my recording. I will have to ask how I can fix this.

Is your microphone securely connected?
Does it work with other programs?

Yeah everything is connected properly. I am in a call right now with no trouble. It works with all the other programs I use.

That's very strange, I'm sorry but whenever I've come across a case where Java is properly installed so that you can see the 'record message' box the problem has always been with the microphone.
In your case that's obviously not the solution though.
Have you tried again to find out if it was some sort of 'technological glitch'?

Could be that you've got more than one microphone in the system and the java applet picks the wrong one (a disengaged one for example). I've come across this encumberance many a time, so what I do now is disable all the microphones but the one I use and this does the trick.
Just pull up the "volume control options" menu in the system tray and proceed to "recording devices", where you will be presented with a list of all the microphones on your PC. Then disable all except the one you use.

Okay, this is a test message to see if I have fixed the problem.

I'm glad you managed to get it working.
What was the problem?

Well I've fixed it on my laptop. There was some issue with Java itself so I just re-installed it. Later I will have to look at desktop and see why it's not working there. It might be what Our Tort System suggested as I do have a headset microphone and a microphone on my camera. Perhaps they are having some conflict.
Thank you everyone for the help. I greatly appreciate it.

Wonderful! Thanks for the help!
Okay, now to rerecord my original message.

Hi Xiaomuou
you said you are curious about my name,well so do I , you know ,your user name "xiaomuou" is a Chinese pronounciation,the meaning is a puppet, I m confused how does that come about.
As for my name,yeah,just like you guessed,Lestat is the Vampire Lestat in Anie Rice's series,but the reason I picked it is more than just a fond of vampire
it's a long story to tell,including my innocent young days. I don't know if you have any idea of the Vampire Union, whose headquater is in London, I used to be a member of it ,and Lestat is such a nice name,is it not? that s why I use it as my English name for years |
