Rewire issue - Midi Input Problem trying to launch Reason

[bunderson]

I've been searching for an answer to this for a week now and there doesn't seem to be an answer on any search I've performed on any website.

Basically I've used reason in the past to record my drum samples in Pro tools but for some reason now I cannot use my midi keyboard in reason if I launch it using rewire. If I use reason stand alone it works fine.

Basically I am getting the following two error messages:-

"Midi Input Problem. One or several of the midi inputs could not be opened. They might be in use by another application. Open the preferences dialog and check your MIDI settings"

The second reads:-

"Reason couldn't set up the control surfaces properly. For details, please open the Preferencesa dialog, go to the Control Surface page and click teh Red X symbol(s) in the surface list. "

I've done this but reason will always tell me the midi inputs are in use. I presume Pro Tools is using them but how do I get them to be used by Reason instead, as it's always done by default in the past?

Many thanks.
