Unable to Send MIDI Info To Max B/c of [rewire~]?

ComfortableInClouds's icon

I had midi working fine for MaxMSP. I then tried setting up rewire so that I could play Reason through Max. After doing so, my midi controller does not seem to be able to send any information to Max, only to Reason. I have quit both programs and restarted only max and i still got the same problem. Before, Max had automatically recognized MIDI information coming from my controller. What possible reason would stop max from recognizing info from my midi controller now? I know my midi controller is sending info to the computer b/c I tested it in the audio midi setup and my controller is able to control reason when I load reason by itself, or through rewire into MaxMSP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
