a mic with drivers?! what is this?

[Nicko_Shmicko]

let me re-phrase that, a mic doesnt need drivers, you plug it into your soundcard and record, its an audio signal, not a digital one.

Exactly. If your soundcard works, then the mic offers a simple audio signal to it and there is no way it could use drivers. What you mean is you need drivers for your soundcard - find out the make and look for ,it online.
