I'm using POV-Ray 3.6 on a PC with a 3.6 GHz Intel P4 with 1 GB physical
memory, Windows XP Home Edition with SP 2 installed. Norton Antivirus is
also installed and active. Since I have this configuration I suffer system
crashes when I do one of the following things:
- Render a very large scene and open Adobe Photoshop LE after completion. If
I use the same software
without having used POV-Ray before everything works fine.
- If I have statement like #if(HQ=1) in an include file which and render the
main scene and I forgot to
#declare HQ in that main scene file my system crashes.
- If I have a parse error in an include file the editor doesn't jump to the
include file like it used to
with POV-Ray 3.5. It just gives the error message and I have to search
where the error is myself.
There is no crash in this situation but it seems strange beaviour to me.
I know that my report isn't exactly what should be in a bug report but I'm
too much afraid of messing up my whole system to try the critical situations
on purpose. So I just have the simple question if somebody else experienced
similar difficulties with the same system configuration or if I'm the only
one. If this is the case I fear there is something wrong with my PC also I
have the problems only with POV-Ray ...
Any hints appreciated.
Regards, Christoph
