whats wrong with my mental ray?

Something strange started happening with my files the other day and I can't figure out what to do. I would go to batch render my scene and maya would automatically save a temporary file with whatever name i called it before, followed by some random number. Then I would say render completed when nothing has happened. I notice this is happening on even my older files so it must be a software problem and not a file problem. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance.

mentalray always saves a temporary file when rendering is started. Why you're not getting any output is something different. Check your render globals, and make sure that your project directory is set properly.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
