Horrible Problems

I Am having a very hard time trying to figure out a problem that ive created.I Downloaded The Kontakt v.2.0 demo to try it out. I did not like it so i ended up deleting it and all files related to it.I Guess that was a bad idea because now my garage band and idrum dont work at all! I drum Doesnt even start and Garage band says timer or timeout inactive--check other apps using midi.It Also Says Mac OS X MIDI services not available...Anyone know what to do?

Mac OS X (10.4.5)

First, try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work...

Second, try to log in as another user and try GB there. If GB works there, go back to your original user and do a search for ".plist" and find the one related to GB. delete it. GB will create a new one on its next start-up. If that doesn't work...

Third, go to Applicarions>utilities>Disk Utility and run repair disk permissions. Then try GB again. If that doesn't work, post back here and we will move forward from there.

I Actually Realized It wasnt the demo i downloaded it was a digidesign mbox file i had.i tried to download the pro tools demo but i didnt have an mbox so i deleted all of those files. i didnt think it would be a big deal but it was.Ive Been Searching around the forum and lots of people have similar problems with no definite solutions.im about to try your recommendations.hopefully they will make GB work again.

Reinstall Garageband and iDrum this will be the quickest option. Otherwise you will be digging around for days and probably end up reinstalling anyway.

Try re-installing the digidesign stuff before you do a full GB re-install.
