Can't 'detect tempo' under audio drop down menu :-(

Question

Hi
I am trying to fix up the tempo to quantisize a track and I can't seem to be able to use 'detect tempo' under the audio drop down menu. 
When I select the region and then click on 'detect tempo' I am told that there are 'no regions selected'.
I selected the regions in both the main window and in piano bar seperately but still no luck.
Any help would be fantastic!
Thanks soo much!

keeden,
You may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
