Sky light doesnt count !!?

[Hozz]

Hi again ...

 

now am going crazy over this .. am working in two projects .. one is a living room area and the other is a bedroom in both in seperated files .. in living room am using 3 omni 2 spot and 2 sky light .. so when i render it it says in the " scene statistics " that theres 7 lights and 7 shadow maps ..

 

but in the bedroom file i was using 2 omni and 1 sky light and when i render it it says that theres 2 lights only and 2 shadow maps only .. but its slow this mean that the skylight is there .. so i deleted the omnis and kept the skylight alone .. and it says 0 lights and the render scene is black !!

 

am using light tracer on both files no radiosity ..oh and i downloaded the service pack 1 for the 3d max 7

 

can any one help me plzzz .. i used to love the sky light thing now am goin crazy
