Mental Ray error file startup Maya 2015

When I first open my scene I get an error that the file may have errors and then this pops up in the message box:screenshot_12.jpg

 

I'm not sure what it's doing?  Is it ok to just ignore this message or will it cause other issues later?

 

Thanks!

Go into the Plug-in Manager and make sure you have MentalRay loaded...

Yeah, that was my first troubleshooting step.  i should have mentioned that.  Other than that, not sure what it could be.  Other than using a newer version of Maya on an older version of Maya file?  Maybe it doesn't recognize the nodes from the older file?

Are you able to render with MR despite the message?

It will sometimes appear when Maya first starts because of the order in which plugins are loaded.
