mic not working

I reformatted windows awhile back, and before i reformatted, my mic worked fine. But after i reformatted, it hasn't worked since, and i'm finally getting around to trying to make it work again. I think it has something to do with drivers i maybe didn't install or maybe some mobo drivers, i don't know. Just looking for it to get working again.
I have a sennheiser p90 headset with a mic attached to it, SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio onboard sound, and some kind of asus mobo.

Have you checked the mixer 'Recording' properties to make sure the Mic is not muted? Double click the yellow speaker in the Systray.

If you go to;
1. Control Panel 2. Sound and Audio devices (depending on your version of windows) 3. Click VOICE and then settings will appear. 4. In the 2 bars make sure you headset is selected.
