There are several other file types I've seen opened even if a partial render the
POV-Ray is apt to do.  Bmp, Tga, Png, have usually been okay like I said before
except for a image program or two I used to use.  Even corrupted Jpg files will
open (most of the time).  Have you tried any other file formats, Sander, in
ACDSee (bmp, tga at least)?  That would narrow it down to the Png part alone.
