Alright, I just downloaded POVray v3.5 and Moray v3.5, set everything up
properly, make a glass object (sphere, transparent, IOR 1.45) to test out
those fancy schmancy photons I've been hearing so little about, and nothing
happened. In fact, with photons enabled, the transparent object actually
cast a shadow. Mirrors I've tried don't do anything. No reflection,
nothing. I remembered to enable photons globally, on the light source, and
designated the object as a no-gather target.
What could be going wrong and how do I fix it?

Basically, photons are ornery li'l varmints, and they're shy, to boot.
Make certain that the background upon which you are casting the photons
is not set as a target, and increase count/decreae spacing.

This is funny. I got photons to work by disabling photons in the global
settings. When I have it enabled, my transparent glass objects cast
shadows. When I have it disabled, I get refraction.
Still no reflection though. I think my computer needs more help than I do.
