Do not use caps lock.

The missing power supply shouldnt be a problem.

Sounds like a corrupt driver. Are you still running 10.6.7?

Please update to 10.6.8 and we can continue :)

I just wanted you to do that before we continued.

Go to Mac HD/System/Library/Extensions Folder
Delete the SeratoScratchDriver.Kext

Re install Scratch Live and try again.

Any luck?

Try this:

Exit Scratch Live

Open your Macintosh HD

Open the Library folder

Open the Audio folder

Open the MIDI Drivers folder

Take all the files within the MIDI Drivers folder and move them to your desktop

Restart SSL and retest

You dont need them to run Scratch Live. Your computer will rebuild the files if you ever need them for other Midi Controllers. You can store them somewhere safe if you want, but you probably wont need them again.
