Maybe when made the material you put it in black on the color instead of white

Re: My mirror shows black while rendering.

I checked before, the diffuse & reflection color is set to white. I found that the mirror only shows up correctly in a certain view, like in a short distant view. but when I change the view frm far, the mirror show up black. What is the problem? Any body can help me here? Thanks.

Try having a vray material (for the mirror) with only a reflective layer - no diffuse layer, and see if that works for you.

I actually think I got it (or else I'm making much ado about nothing...thats right I know shakespeare ;D) Anyway, make sure that you're FILTER color isn't black. If it is then it doesn't matter if you're reflection is set correctly. The filter color should be white.

EDIT: Here's the result...the two sides have the same material except the one on the left has its filter color set to black
