I have a Dell Studio Laptop computer that I have downloaded Audacity 1.3 Beta on. I am not able to record with a mike that I bought from Radio Shack #33-3013 (Radio Shack #) and avaliable on the internet. When I press the record button on Audacity, I get the following error message with or without the Radio Shack microphone connected.
Error, while opening a sound devise, please check the input device settings and the project sample rate.
I am a complete novice at this and perhaps in over my head. However, I want to use Audacity to record a talk that I am going to make in a couple weeks. Perhaps I should try to locate a microphone that is more compatable with Audacity. Help. Thanks Jim

You need to ensure that the microphone is recognised by Windows and enabled.
Only then should you start Audacity.
The microphone should then appear as a recording input option in the Device Toolbar.
