Particles not showing up

[c26354]

I made a ball with particles and it works fine, but when I rendered it the particles dosen't show up. I think I just missed an option or something, but can anyone help me out?

thanks

P.S. I am new and I got maya 4 learning edition a week ago. Hi all

Use hardware rendering for the particle render types that don't have s/w after their names.
If you use the wrong rendering technique, the particles won't be displayed.
If you are using S/W particles you have to add a light to the scene or they wont be visable in your rendering...
