Does your name have spaces while others don't?  The error message suggests
you pass a name with spaces because the clearly says it cannot *open* the
ini file.  If your ini file can't be opened, how can your scene possibly be
rendered? -- I would suggest you go back to the original quickres.ini, copy
one entry can modify it to include your higher resolution.  Then carefully
look at the name of the section and make sure you really save the file again
(also without spaces in the filename).  Of course, you could also always use
the command line options w and h to change the image resolution (they are in
the documentation/helpfile).  There is no need to modify quickres.ini for
every resolution you may desire.

BTW, in general its a good idea to read the error message (which doesn't say
anything about a size limit of images) before jumping to random conclusions
:-)
