Problems recording with audacity

Ok i just got a new laptop and my old program i used to record with wont work very well with vista (skips rly bad during recording and i have reinstalled it more than once for those that suggest doing that ) so i downloaded audacity and figured i would give it a shot. I have used it before so im not a total n00b with it but usually there is a pull down menu that lets u decide what input the program should record but on my comp that pull down menu is inactive. see pic below

so what should i do to record my sets? is there a way to fix this problem or will i need another program? i have cubase but someone told me its not good for recording sets, is that true?

Thanks for the help
Chris

Get rid of Vista? Audacity probably isn't compatible with it. I don't know of any other good free programs to record with

oh vista. sigh. the little OS that couldn't.

try adobe audition 2. dont know how well (or how bad for that matter) it will work with vista, i was happy with recording in audition 1.5 myself.

Are you using a soundcard or onboard sound?

When I used to use the onboard sound, I could use that drop down menu but after I upgraded to a dedicated sound card with breakout box, that menu greyed out as well.

check the preferences menu to see if its detecting your audio interface's channels properly.
