Problem with Maya 5

Ive had Maya 5 installed for a few weeks now and just recently when i open Maya it dispays the message

// Warning: The preferred renderer, mentalRay, is not currently available. The Maya Software renderer will be used instead. //

Yet I open a file that I was working on last week using the Mental Ray renderer and it then appears in the menu.

pv_performAction "D:/Portfolio/Maya3D/balls.mb" "Best Guess";
file -f -options "v=0;p=17" -typ "mayaBinary" -o "D:/Portfolio/Maya3D/balls.mb";addRecentFile("D:/Portfolio/Maya3D/balls.mb", "mayaBinary");
requires "Mayatomr" "5.0.0.103m - 3.2.2.1 ";
