Hey... we can say crap without it turning into crud! 
awesome
I GOT A NEW WEBCAM/MIC but i dunno how to use it too well
like can i use the mic WITHOUT getting video?
I think Vista comes with a pre-installed Sound Recorder, just click start then type "Record" and "Sound Recorder" should pop up.
If not, just record the video then convert the file into a sound clip (Just use a converter from the internet).
Or you could always download a third party recorder e.g Audacity
