It doesn't seem to be a tech problem, since everything else is working, so I must be doing something wrong.
I am on an iMac with Snow Leopard Version 10.6.7, with 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3 and 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory. I have Pro Tools 9.02, although I qualify for a free upgrade for Pro Tools 10 (I haven't upgraded yet because there's a good chance that there will be compatibility issues). I have an Mbox 2 Mini for my external hardware, and I keep my pro tools sessions on a separate 5400 rpm 500GB firewire 800 hardrive.

Hi,
Greyed out track indicates there's is no assigned midi output yet. You need to set the track to instrument view then assign the midi output to whatever midi instrument you want to use to play the part.
If you just imported the midi then you wills have just a midi track, so you will also need to create an instrument track to insert a midi instrument onto. Then you can route the midi track to the instrument track as described above. Or you could move the midi information from the midi track onto the instrument track, as an instrument track can have midi information and have an instrument plugin inserted etc. And again your will need to assign the midi routing using the instrument view on the channel and also assign an audio output on the instrument track to route the signal to your master channel/bus.
