Reinstalling did not work.  Reinstall was a little odd; despite removing 
the old povray, and deleting the povray folder from "program files", the 
newly installed povray somehow "remembered" my last rendered files, 
making me think that something was missed during uninstall. 
Unfortunately vista has to stay (work computer).  Any other ideas?

Thanx
