While using PoV-ray 3.0x, one reason for this message could be, that you
must save your filename with the extension *.pov . If you do'nt type
"filename.pov" PoV-Ray will save your scene file as a simple text file
without any extension, which in turn it can't render.
A misstake, I make ever and ever for myself, which really annoys me, but
I do'nt know this restriction from any other text editor.
