Check your file associations for "POV-Ray Scene File". I'm using W98se,
and this works for me:

    "C:\Program Files\POV-Ray\BIN\MEGAPOV.EXE" /EDIT "%1"

I'd guess that you're missing the /EDIT and/or the "%1". (The location
of MEGAPOV.EXE may be in a different location of your machine, but
that's OK).

Under W98 you set the file associations by using Start => Settings =>
Folder Options => File Types.
