you don’t have the ray button pressed in the render buttons [which is helpfully what that is a pic of, not the world buttons]

Where’s the lamp? I see no Lamp

I don’t believe you need a lamp when rendering with ambient occlusion.

you don’t “need” a lamp for AO but doo turn on EnvMap, Ray, Radio so that you get all those added to the render. That should help a lot. Could you also post your world settins under the shader tabs?

I fixed it… He was right. Just push the button. Man, I really gotta work at this more before I go running for help. :-? Thx y’all.
