I think it prints something like "render aborted blabla..." I can't realy remember. But I did some sort of render diagnostics and it checks your graphics card, and out of eight things maya checked my card did not get a single pass. I can go home and look what it is exactly. Nice of you guys trying to help me.
But it could well be that it is the memory, system, cpu. I'm running maya on an ibook g4 900mhz with 640mb ram. And it is impossible to upgrade any more:headbang:
I want to buy a new comp, but apple is so damn expensive. I might have to go back to windohs, but I realy realy realy do not like it.

anyway, great you try to fix my mental ray problem. If there is any way of getting it going let me know
