audio set-up problem

Windows 7, Audacity 2.1.0, exe
I had a serious crash and had to replace my hard drive, so I lost Audacity. I successfully installed Audacity, but not Lame. I downloaded Lame to a folder, and see it there when I open the folder, but Audacity preferences won't recognize it when I browse from there, and it continues to say it's not found. ??

Did you get Audacity from here:
http://web.audacityteam.org/download/
If not, please remove your current version and download the 2.1.1 version from the links on the above website (we then know for sure that you are using a genuine version of Audacity.
Then
precisely follow the instructions
exactly as written here the install LAME:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... .html#lame

Try downloading
Lame_v3.99.3_for_Windows.exe from
http://lame.buanzo.org/#lamewindl and run the EXE file to "install" LAME instead of trying to copy it to a folder.
P.S. Steve beat me to it....

When I hit record, a message comes saying:
Error while opening sound device. Please check the recording device settings and project sample rate.
Under Preferences/Device - No devices found
