Also, since you only have access to the H drive (an non-standard drive
letter), it may be a roaming profile, or a unix account being accessed via
Samba.  I don't have a lot of details, but I know we use samba at school
here at the University of Washington, and occasionaly encounter problems
with Windows programs which freak out about the unix mapping.  Haven't
really found a fix, we just end up having to save temporarily to the C drive
and then copy stuff over when we're done.  I guess that won't help you
though.  If all else fails, install the dos versoin of pov, that shouldn't
require access to the registry or anything.  You could even (if you're
desparate) install at home or on another computer and zip up the
installation and unzip it on your account.  All you really need is the
executable.  Good luck.
