BB checks, CO checks, Hero ...

...doesn´t like this flop too much. Especially against 2 opponents.

I don´t think either has aces, I reckon they´d reraised/pushed preflop. QQ is not unlikely, which would just about kill my outs to a straight... Set of Jacks, Tens or Nines could also be a possibility. The two checks in front of me could mean anything. No reads.

Why am I in this horrible situation? Was my preflop raise not big enough ? And - what should I do on this flop?

I would be pretty worried too. There is not a lot out there you beat. I like to make a probing bet and fold if I encounter any resistance in a situation like this. If you check behind and the turn blanks, are you going to fold if BB or CO lead? Use your position and see where you stand.

bet 45 and take it from there

What´s my idea with the $45 bet? Probing?

I don´t really like the idea of giving two opponents the oppertunity to make a $45 call into a $100 pot - if either of them has a good draw, they´re likely to flat call, and I´ll be in an even tougher spot at the river, even if it just blanks...
