I always notice the Maya Output Window opened separately from Maya 5.0...running behind. It says something about Mental Ray for Maya loaded. I have had a few computer glitches lately, and now I notice that the Output Window is no longer there. Also, when I go to Render Globals, there is no option to render with Mental Ray. It was there before! Now only Maya Software and Maya Hardware. Oh where, oh where did my Mental Ray Go? Any ideas? Black_Bart
