I tried all the settings, downloaded the cs10 update, read every topic on the net about it....
i cant figure it out, used every setting in pro tools possible....
can someone please help me???

You can use USB midi connection in pro tools. You do not have to use the midi ports on the 002. If you are connecting the mpk via midi cable to the 002 you HAVE to use the power supply for the mpk.Make sure your midi input is the correct device and typically selecting all channels is fine.
