What was it like before you worked on it and do you have anything longer than four seconds? We can't take effects and filters out of a performance. It sounds like you may have created some of the damage yourself. Noise Reduction is not a cure-all.

going to the stereo line-in jack on the computer. Does it explicitly say Stereo Line-In (maybe blue) or is it unlabeled or say Audio-In and you're assuming it's stereo? http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/soundCardFinal2.jpg Does the cable look like this? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/RCAMi...

2.2.1 is available for Windows from here: http://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ If you continue to have troubles, you might consider going into manual record and set your Personal Device to ring at the 8 hour mark to walk over and stop it.
