I bought a Dell 966 with a Dell Inspiron 1521, as they were a dell together. However, my inspiron has vista on it and the 966 only supports up to XP. Does anyone know where I can find the drivers to install to make the scanner work?

You can try using the Windows Vista drivers and see if they works. As Dell does not list your machine on it's Windows 7 compatibility list that will probably be the best to try the Vista drivers.
Firstly, what Operating System came with you Inspiron 1521? It's either Windows XP or Windows Vista, my guess would be that it has Windows Vista (If you've not replaced the Operating System since you purchased it).
I would imagine that if it's not something simple like the volume of the mic being set to zero or muted, then it could be an issue with the drivers.
If you are running Vista, your best bet is to download the following drivers
Although it's listed as Intergrated Webcam, your microphone would be part of your built in webcam, so with any luck, installing the drivers from the link above should solve your problem.
If not just let me know, and I'll be happy to investigate further :-).
What operating system are you running on your dell 1521 laptop? What drivers are supported on your Dell 720 printer?
If you are running Windows Vista on your laptop and there are only drivers for your printer up until Windows XP and nothing is on Dell's website for your printer in terms of drivers, then you can only try to run Windows Vista in Compatibility Mode.
If this doesn't work, then you'll need to get a new printer.
u can get cd key on www.torrentreactor.net by writing " key for dell inspiration 1521 " or on google write "key for dell inspiration 1521 for windows or vista" or ucan go on www.freekey.com
checklist:
1. sound driver
2. microphone settings in volume control applet
3. tap test (tap the area around the microphone and see if eg Sound Recorder picks it up)
4. external microphone
If you get to step 4 before you get anything then your problem is one of missing or damaged microphone.
