no midi events recorded in CE5

when i try to use in instrrument on a track, i check out that there is a signal going to a track and on the transport panel. the midi is working fine at this point. when i go to record though, it does not record any midi events.am i missing something here?
edit: now there is no midi led showing up anywhere.

Anyone else getting tired of asking for complete system specs? :imp:
