Check whether this is from the section that is imported from
POVTXTR.INI.

Yes, please do. This is the first I've heard of this, so it seems to
be isolated to your installation.

Hm.... don't be so sure about that.
As far as I know from this ng, everybody (?) has trouble running Moray with
POV-Ray 3.6 (and I suppose 3.7). The general consensus most heard is still
to run Moray with POV-Ray 3.5......

I have both (4) installed, pov 3.5 + megapov & Pov3.6 + megapov. There
are some compatibility problems but nothing that i would be so
frustrated of not to use it.(Argl, what a sentence)
However I've not tried Pov3.7 yet. But Pov 3.6 / Megapov 1.2 is working
more than o.k. for me.

Well, one of the things that makes Moray and POV-Ray crash (when using
POV-Ray 3.6), is the material preview.

So maybe Megapov is more compatible than Povray? I've never thought
about that.

That is an interesting idea!! I have not yet tried that....
As soon as my current scenes have finished rendering today, I shall test
Moray with megapov 1.2.1.... Who knows...

No way. I tried rendering a material with megapov 1.2.1, but Moray and
POV-Ray froze up in the same way.
Message given: : An unexpected error occurred while trying to make POV-Ray
render the material. (code 3)"

I am sure that I have never heard of there being rendering problems
related to POV-Ray parsing an exported scene.
I have heard (and reproduced the behaviour) that Moray V3.5 and
POV-Ray V3.6 (and later) cause the rendering to hang sporadically (or
more often :-)). I even tried to find the cause some time ago,
unfortunately, I was unsuccessful, probably due to the Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle :-). As soon as I added tracing, I could not get
it to hang. This most likely means some kind of threading issue or
race condition is happening. Maybe POV-Ray 3.6 uses multiple threads
in a different way than earlier versions.

The problem seems to be in the communication between Moray and POV-Ray 3.6.
As you say, I remember that very early on you did try to solve the problem
but could not find the glitch.
Maybe it would be valuable to make again a list of the specific problems
happening. I wonder now if everybody who has met with some problem, have met
with the same ones?
As mentioned in a thread above, my main problem is with the render of a
material preview. Both Moray and POV-Ray freeze, with message "An unexpected
error occurred while trying to make POV-Ray render the material. (code 3)".
This behaviour is... not consequent :-(
I have now also have the case where a (simple) material is rendered the
first time, but next is not, POV-Ray telling me that "A render has completed
but file output was turned off. No file was written. Press F1 for help on
output file control.". After clicking OK, * something* finishes. However,
if I try to render the material again, Moray closes down abruptly and
Windows asks me if I want to register a bug.
So far, what I have met with now....
Thomas

I found that with moray 3.5 and povray 3.6 on win 98 , Moray is unable to
stop povray. If I start a second render before the first has stopped Povray
will hang and even needs to be reinstalled.
works just fine on windows XP.
