Which version of Audacity do you have installed please?

Sorry that it wasn't quite as helpful as I hoped.

However, try going to edit -> audio files and it offers mp3 export 
library location together with a status of whether the plug-in is 
installed or not. If not it offers to find the library and download 
LAME. Download and save Lame. Then execute. Please note that this is the 
installer and that you don't need to execute it more than once. That is 
why it is asking you if you want to install it every time.

regards,

Doug
