Windows 7 doesn't recognize my Microphone?

So I record music and I'm using an Icicle Converter to convert my Cadoid mic to my laptop. I've plugged my mic into the USB on my old vista laptop and it recognizes it and I can record fine. But on my current laptop with Windows 7, it doesn't even recognize my microphone. I've tried the adding new hardware via control panel but it doesn't even show up. Even when I right click on the speaker and go do recording devices the only two options are the Internal Mic, and Stereo Mix. All and any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time


EDIT: I clicked on show disabled devices and an external mic option appeared but it still isn't receieving audio
