"Effect" and "Analyze" options grayed out

Using Vista, trying to edit a WAV file, it will play, and highlight, but I cannot access the options under "Effect" and "Analyze", is there something I need to do to activate those options?

You must have some audio selected for "Effects" and "Analise" to be available.
You can select a part of a track by "click-dragging" across the track.
Try pressing "[Ctrl] + A" to select all.
