Mic/Sound problem

I’ve got a laptop using Win 98 SE. I use a USB headset (off of a powered USB hub, since I also have a cam)for a chat program called SeeSaw. My problem is this: in this program (and ONLY in this program, as far as I know) if I try to talk, it freezes the program, and the only way I can get out of it is to shut off the computer. Three finger salute doesn’t work, and the start menu doesn’t respond to the mouse or keyboard commands. I’ve already deleted the program and reinstalled, and also deleted and reinstalled the headset and drivers. HELP!!!
