Hi Ray,
The mention of 'Templates' had me concerned too. I wonder whether you've
actually got yourself some other application that supports rendering using
POV-Ray. If so, you may possibly not have yet downloaded and installed
POV-Ray itself. If this is the case you can easily get a copy free from
http://www.povray.org/download/#binaries.
