problems with the background

[muchamuchacha]

I´m rendering an indoor scene with a daylight system. I put a sky map for the background but it´s rendering in black! Before creating the system or puting any light, the background was rendering alright. This has never happened to me before, and it's weird because when i preview the scene, the sky actually renders.

I don't know if i just need to check or uncheck an option, i'm sure it's something really simple to solve.

S.O.S. please!!

I have exactly the same problem, but im using 3Ds max 9. Does anybody know how to solve this problem without the mr photographic exposure, as this option is not included in 3ds 9?

I would greatly appreciate any help, this problem is really bothering me. :/
