MIDI Timeout - Mountain Lion 10.8.2 - Logic Pro 9.1.7

This issue is driving me INSANE.


Everything was working great a couple of weeks ago. I'm fairly certain but not 100% this worked after my upgrade to 10.8.1


I am seeing the dreaded MIDI Timeout that seems to have NO ANSWER for some. Others claim clear out your logic/gb temp files and reboot and all is well, or verify/repair your files/permissions... DOESN'T WORK.


I've created 2 different user accounts no dice.


I get the MIDI Timeout / The bad driver? windows


In Logic / Garage Band.


MIDI Setup takes forever to do anything and when clicking anything other then the first main window that loads it just hangs.



I've tried nearly EVERY fix i've seen on these boards.


Downgrading to Pro Kit 7.0

Upgrading to Pro Kit 7.2.2

Going from 10.8.1 - 10.8.0

Reinstalling Logic 9.0.0 - 9.1.3 - 9.1.7


While doing all of this It seems anything that accesses anything with MIDI just crashes and needs to be forced closed.


At some point during my upgrades, downgrades it seems that it was more responsive while crashing (meaning it crashed faster and or gave me error messages without as long of a wait.)


At this point Logic LOADS, Past the checking MIDI (which it would always crash on) and will load a project. However the SECOND I try ANYTHING it gives me the MIDI error and refuses to work.


Before that I was getting something with the MIDI as well.


I am getting a Sequencer engine timed out after 800 milliseconds in the console.


IS There Anything I can do that might actually fix this aside from a TOTAL clean install and do over?


I'm at my wits end here. I don't want to waste another 3 days loosing time reinstalling.


Thanks

Logic Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I updated to 10.7.5 last week and have been experiencing problems with MIDI ever since. In particular, my laptop will sometimes not find my interface (a MOTU Express XT). Unplugging the USB cable and plugging it in again will sometimes make it work again. But I've also found that a perfectly working system will stop working if I leave everything alone for a few hours and come back to it later.


Very worried about this but I've no idea what's going on
