Just for the records: It's the v3.7-beta installation you've screwed up,
not the v3.7 proper installation. There /may/ have been interference
from the beta, but I doubt it.
And re-installing v3.7 proper won't clean up the v3.7-beta detritus. So
should you ever again install a v3.7-beta, even if you use the proper
installer, and even if you now un-install and re-install v3.7.0, that
beta will /again/ interfere with the v3.7.0.
A proper install of the /beta/, followed by an uninstall of it, should
be the way to clean up this issue.
Or run "regedit" and throw out `HKCU\Software\POV-Ray\v3.7-beta` and/or
`HKLM/Software/POV-Ray/v3.7-beta`.
