No Midi Input

My computer does not seem to recognize midi input from my computer.  When I play a note from my Yamaha Keyboard, and then Import recording I get the message there is nothing to import or nothing in the buffer.  I select open in a new window and I get nothing.  I used to be able to enter notes in a step method, however not I cannot.  I have checked other forums, but have not received a fix. There are others that have had this same problem.  Windows does know that the usb interface is connected. I am using Edirol UM-2ex windows 7 64 bit version drivers. Windows says the UM2 is ready for use.   Is there anyone that can help with this problem.

When you go to Tools > Options and go to the Record tab, is there a device chosen for Input Device? If not, when you click the drop-down arrow, does it let you choose your UM-2?

Disclaimer: I haven't used MIDI input in a very long time, but this is how I remember setting it up. This was "back in the day" when I was using a Gravis MIDI adapter that was plugged into my computer's 15 pin game port (okay, I'm done with nostalgia mode now.)

Let us know if this works for you.

Thank you Mike for the response.  However I did have UM2 selected.  I have also tried the registry fixes I saw online in other forums with no success.  I am very cautious about accessing regedit.   I have switched the cables just in case still no success.
