To insert Bibliography using BibTex, I exported my references from Zotero using the .bib extension and saved it in the folder BibTex/bib (specifically C:\swp55\TCITeX\BibTeX\bib\mybib) and chose a style C:\swp55\TCITeX\BibTeX\bst. I then inserted citation and bibliography, but I only got "?" as citation and nothing for bibliography. Please suggest me what to do, I have little if any technical background. If important my pc is 64bit.

Your bib file should lie in the same directory as your tex file. Also make sure to run latex, then bibtex and then latex again another 2 times.
Furthermore look at the output of those commands for any error messages. A blg file should contain an even more detailed log of the bibtex run.
If that does not help, you should post a MWE containing tex and bib file, as well as the exact commands you use for compiling everything.

It does not have to lie in the same directory, that just makes the linking really easy. – Rick de Groot Jul 12 '12 at 08:06

1@Rick: Of course you are right. That's why I said “should lie” as this is about getting a basic setup working. – bodo Jul 12 '12 at 08:08

@RickdeGroot and @canaaerus; I am using SWP( I don't know much about latex. I just followed the steps to insert bibliography and citation, but it couldn't work for me. – Daniel Lårs Jul 12 '12 at 08:17

biblatex+biber. Let me know if that was useful. – doctorate May 20 '13 at 12:32
