Metronome in Pro-Tools

Hey everybody!

I know this is a ridiculous question, but I am tearing my hair out in frusteration!

I just upgraded to a digi rack and pro tools LE, and I am having a serious friggin' problem:

I can't figure out how to get the damn metronome to work!

I feel like a retard, because it is somehting that should be so damn easy, but has caused me no end of upset!

Methods for tracking bands; Do you guys use click tracks?

I've been recording bands for awhile now and my method has always been to record a scratch rythym track to a drum machine, (just a simple 1,2,3,4 beat). After getting the rythm track down I give it to the drummer in his headphones and record him playing to it.
