You need to record from "Stereo Mix" (if available)

I tried but i dont know why i would need a microphone ALL.I.WANT.TO.RECORD.IS.THE.COMPUTER.SOUND.

I didn't say anything about using a microphone - you need to record from "Stereo Mix" (may be called "What U Hear").

I have no sterio mix or what u hear and no mono mix

Then your remaining options are to use one of the workarounds that are suggested in the page that I liked to.

Sometimes "Stereo Mix" can only be made to work by using the control panel supplied by the sound card manufacturer - this is often reported with RealTek inbuilt sound devices. Try launching the sound device control panel from the Windows Control Panel or the system tray (by the clock). If you see a volume control for Stereo Mix, try clicking to select it. Confusingly, some RealTek devices "select" an input by muting all but one, so in this case, mute everything except stereo mix. If you don't see Stereo Mix, click the wrench icon and enable Stereo Mix in the dialogue that pops up


Where is the wrench icon!!!!!!!

Do you have a RealTek sound card?
Have you found a sound card control panel?
Does it look anything like this?

I dont know about my sound card but i do have realtek speakers and i had a lookat the pic you showed me but i dont know how to acsess my sound control panel
STEVE Please look at the next page

This may take a bit of time -
which version of Windows are you using?
Which version of Audacity are you using? (look in "Help > About Audacity" and tell us the full version number).
