Program doesn't record

Using Windows 7, Ver 2.2.2 of Audacity. Lenovo T400 Think Pad.

I loaded version 2.2.2, and it would record only after the volume was turned very high.

I deleted Audacity and reloaded it. Now It won’t record at all. Have tried most everything.

Have rebooted computer. Have rebooted Audacity. Still won’t record.

HELP!

What are you trying to record from? The microphone built-into your laptop? A microphone plugged into your laptop? A USB turntable plugged into your laptop? Streaming audio from the Internet? Something else?

I’m trying to record from a record player that has a USB cable.
