You posted in a forum that doesn't tell us anything about you. Win7? Vista? Laptop?
Newer Windows machines may not give you the tools to record internet audio. They're business machines intended for the corporate user. Did you go through our instructions?

You probably do not have a valid recording device enabled.
See here for how to enable "Stereo Mix", if available, or for alternative workarounds if it is not available on your computer:
