We can only do so much to help remotely. Sometimes, it is simply better to pay for a computer technician to read the documentation we have provided you with then come to show you how operate Audacity. Alternatively if it's a popular album you will probably be able to buy the CD. Well, everything see...

it says to go: FILE>EXPORT, but all of the export options are grayed-out... Click the "Stop" button first. Most operations are unavailable during Play, Record and Pause.

When I originally tried to exit a window, which was unsaved but I was done with, the "not responding" came immediately upon clicking the x. Was it a very long project (several hours)? There would be no harm in upgrading to 2.1.3 from http://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows . If it was question...
