I see this thread is old, but hoping someone may have a solution by now. I am also using windows XP and have never had a problem monitoring batch render progress on the script editor...but today, out of no where it stopped displaying progress. The script editor only told me that maya is rendering...and that was it. I can see the individual frame images being written to my destination folder, but nothing shown on script editor or output window. Any settings / preferences, etc. that can fix my problem?

Thanks
