Default \"No Channels Activated\"!!?? what!??

Hi Folks, I spotted someone else with this problem too but there wasn't really an answer given...
the Problem:- I upgraded to 6.4 from 5.3.1 (where my Sample Tank etc... worked fine)

but now, in 6.4 ANY Midi devices simply show as "No Channels Activated" when trying to select a midi channel for them.

Midi Thrugh IS selected

The track IS record enabled

A midi channel IS selected in the device (i.e I click and set the Plugin interface to midi channel 1 for Sample Tank or Battery 2 etc...

you can even load in sounds and hear them fine but you CAN'T select a midi channel for them in the midi track as it says - "No Channels Activated"!!! - this is driving me absolutely mental

any suggestion would be useful - but maybe reread this first as I have tried many things, even uninstalling/reinstalling Protools and ALL related drivers etc...

at my wits end

may die soon...erk!!!

On the Midi track it always says "No Channels Activated" when you are sending the track to Sampletank..Look at this SCREENSHOT ..Just select the proper channel and off you go.

Getting the screenshot is the easy part - getting it linked without using my web page is the cool part.

Doesn't your internet service provider give you a few MB's of free server space to park files?Most do.

Oh..call me stupid, I didn't even know that..
Can I just drag my stuff in there, or do I need another software or FTP client to upload ?
I have new gig pix.. to share.

You have to load the plugin under program files - common files - digidesign - dae - plugins as opposed to "program files" etc... and it will work properly

it fixed the same problem I had with Battery and now it says what it should:- "channel 1, channel 2 etc..." and it responds correctly, as it should...

I tried the same thing on Sample Tank but it didn't fix it, mine does not respond the same as yours - but as usual the answer is probably some simple stupid things I'm not doing!

I guess I'll get there in the end but it's like some horrible Chinese torture, just staring at the screen not knowing but knowing that it will be simple! if you get what I mean!...

it was Toftee001 who posted the answer to this so a BIG thankyou Toftee! (the Battery problem)

screen shot on a Mac:- Apple + Shift + 3 but a really handy one is Apple + Shift + 4 - this lets you

click and drag over any area and capture it, even pop up menus...

Big Thanks to Bazzle and everyone who replied!
