In case this might help you as far as how many people are experiencing
similar problems let me add to the above.

  I too have had a several problems (minor as they are) with CMAX101.DLL
file errors. In all cases they are related to read of addresses ( which
I attribute to the fact I usualy have several files open in the editor at
once). There is nothing I can do to duplicate them and different things
happen at different times.
  Sometimes I lose all of my user settings at program start up, sometimes
I get a read error when trying to scroll up or down in the editor window.
Other times the program crashes or I get a program lock up and have to
use task manager to quit the program. On rare occassions I get a start up
CMAX101.DLL read of address error(s) warning and then Pov won't start at all.
Subsequent attempts at starting the program prove unsuccesful and the system
requires a full reboot to obtain functionality again.

  As I see it the CMAX101.DLL file is a little buggy but not crippled.

Windows 98, Pentium 200MMX, 128mb, POVWin v3.1a.
