I fix it. The problem is Virus protection. Not Audacity, or Lame

Turn off Controlled Folder Access:
Select Start  > Settings .
Choose Update & security  > Windows Defender.
Select Open Windows Defender Security Center.
Select Virus & threat protection, and then choose Virus & threat protection settings.
Under Controlled folder access, Allow an app through controlled Folder access.
+ add an allowed app.
search apps.
Program files (X86) Audacity
Program files (X86) Lame for Audacity

open Audacity and was able to save file in my music.
Thank you for your help. hope this helps others. this is a great service.
Lloyd
