Need Help on Microphone Input for Laptop

[ALAN E NORTH]

Mark,

As for 'juicing' up the power by connecting two mini-1.5 volt batteries in series to get 3 volts, it looks easy enough to do, and while I might try it for a nose clipper or something similar, I would be reluctant to try this on a microphone.

While I am not an engineer, I do know enough about electricity to understand that excessive voltage can quickly burn out any device. I've done that often enough with things like light bulbs. I don't know if the mic is so sensitive that the extra 1.5 vots might burn it out-but I don't think I want to try. Do you know anybody who has done it ?

How do I 'open' version 3.40 ? The manual tells me it is included, but I can't find any way to 'open' it. I would think it would have to be installed separately, but the installation program doesn't give me any option to do that.
