So a got a weird a problem and the program said that I need to post it here, so here it is:

I have the same problem and i'm not sure either

It can have an issue if you have any other software which uses midi running at the same time, is it possible you had Traktor/Ableton etc running at the same time?

[Lauren5]

Traktor wasn't running. ;s

[Barroll Roll]

I also do not have traktor running when I try the software and it does the same thing.

Should we try maybe pressing the red switches in the back first?

I've had this problem in both of the following scenarios:

1. Traktor, MIDI-OX or some other MIDI program was running and was already connected to the Midifighter - at least under Windows, it doesn't seem to be possible to have more than one program connect to a given MIDI device

2. The USB plug wasn't in properly - the Midifighter was powered, but communicating with it did not work properly

So check that no other MIDI software is running and that all plugs are properly connected. Also try plugging it into a different USB port.

[Barroll Roll]

I have no midi software running and it definately looks connected fine and i'm still having issues

Hey Lauren,

Please confirm the MF is in fact in bootloader mode before you push the OK key.

In Bootloader mode every other led should be on in a checker board patter.

[Lauren5]

My leds are like this:
X = Light
O = No light

XOXO
OXOX
XOXO
OXOX

And then I press ok but it don't works...
