Try this,
Goto Windows - Settings/Preferences - Plug in Manager.
A dialog box will open. Then scroll down until you see "Mayatomr.mll". Select "Loaded" to load it, and "Autoload" if you want it to load automatically next time you start Maya. Also, if you have Maya Vector rendering, scroll down until you see "VectorRender.mll" and select it as well.

Hope this works for you.
