Do you have your computer set to show you file extensions?

Anyway.

---------------------------
# Go to the LAME download page.
# Under "For Audacity 1.2.6 and 1.3.3 on Windows", left-click on the link "libmp3lame-win-3.97.zip" and save the zip folder to anywhere on your computer.
# When you have finished downloading the ZIP folder, unzip it and save the file lame_enc.dll that it contains to anywhere on your computer.
# The first time you use the "Export as MP3" command, Audacity will ask you where lame_enc.dll is saved.
------------------------------


So you have the zip file, right--the one you downloaded?

What happens if you just double cllck on it? Does it start opening up into another file or folder?
