I have problem with maya mental ray.
Rendering using maya software, and hardware runs okay, but using mental ray, it gives me the following errors
LINK 0.0 error 191007: cannot load /mentalray/lib/base.dll, The specified module could not be found.
LINK 0.0 error 191007: cannot load /mentalray/lib/physics.dll, The specified module could not be found.
LINK 0.0 error 191007: cannot load /mentalray/lib/mayabase.dll, The specified module could not be found.
LINK 0.0 error 191007: cannot load /mentalray/lib/contour.dll, The specified module could not be found.
MI 0.0 error 121417: C:/Program Files/Alias/Maya/mentalray/maya.rayrc, line 29: cannot find $include file "/mentalray/include/contour.mi"
However, the files are all in the aforementioned directories, is it because of windows file system problem?
Has anyone ever faced this problem? The mental runs okay initially but this just happened today. Reinstalling doesn't help
Pls help

Whats the name of the plugin, I couldn't find a name remotely like mental ray at plugin manager. Anyway Everytime I started Maya, its says Mental Ray sucessfully register but I can't see it under render global.

reinstall the entire thing. Most likely itys beacuse you or someone esle has modified the mentalray configuration files.
