In the download page for windows: http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows you have different files to download, there's an .exe installer for Windows 2000/XP/Vista. There's also a .zip version. You probably downloaded the .zip version. No problem with that. Just unpack like you probably did.

You probably don't want clean speech mode, so you should turn it off. Go to Preferences -> Interface -> uncheck 'CleanSpeech Mode'. Restart Audacity.
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).

STRANGE, I start up this new beta audacity, hit record and immediately get
a clicking sound in speakers and a big blue audio signal in the audio track.

I dont think Im going to get much further... to record and mix I need to be able to
listen to a track playing and then play into it to make a new track,
and then be able to mix the tracks together.
I think I need specific, dedicated mixing software.
