Mental Ray renders black screen

Hello,

 

I'm completely new to Maya and I've been practising some modelling. However, when I try to render using Mental Ray I just get a black screen. I know what the problems are but I don't know how to interpret them or fix them. When I render I get 4 warnings on the output window as follows:

 

PHEN 0.3 12 MB error 051011: shader "maya_shaderglow" not found
PHEN 0.3 12 MB error 051011: shader "adskMayaVolumeEngine" not found
PHEN 0.3 13 MB error 051011: shader "maya_state" not found
PHEN 0.3 13 MB error 051011: shader "adskMayaAreaLight" not found
PHEN 0.5 23 MB error 051011: shader "adskMayaShadingEngine" not found  

 

and the errors I get on the script editor are:

 

// Error: line 1: The renderer mentalRay is not registered yet. //
// Error: line 1: The renderer mentalRay is not registered yet. //
// Error: line 1: The renderer mentalRay is not registered yet. //
// Error: line 1: The renderer mentalRay is not registered yet. //
// Error: line 1: The renderer mentalRay is not registered yet. //
// Error: line 1: The renderer mentalRay is not registered yet. //

// Error: line 1: The renderer mentalRay is not registered yet. //
// Error: line 1: (mental ray) : cannot load C:/Program Files/Autodesk/mentalrayForMaya2016/shaders/mayabase.dll, The specified procedure could not be found. //
// Error: line 1: (mental ray) : Unable to load file: mayabase.dll //
// Error: line 1: (mental ray) : cannot load C:/Program Files/Autodesk/mentalrayForMaya2016/shaders/mayabase.dll, The specified procedure could not be found. //
// Error: line 1: (mental ray) : Unable to load file: mayabase.dll //

 

As I said, I'm not very confident with maya yet and I was wondering if you can help me. I have already reinstalled mental ray again, and I've updated with the service pack 5.

 

My computer isn't very powerful as well, my specs are:

Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.77GHZ

3.00GB RAM

AMD Raedon HD 6450 craphics card with 1GB VRAM.

 

If you need anymore information then let me know! 

 

Thanks,

Jordan
