Thanks, I've done that Alain and can get Pov-Ray to run, it whizzes
using both cores :)

Since I want to use the GUI extensions I take it that I should
manually edit the registry?
What should the values be? My current ones are: 

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3974771696-4222137879-3656950552-1000\Software\POV-Ray\v3.6\Windows\Engine\GUIExtensions]
"UseExtensions"=dword:00000001

And 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\POV-Ray\v3.6\Windows\Engine\GUIExtensions]
"UseExtensions"=dword:00000001

Name	Type	Data
Default	REG_SZ	(Value not set
UseExtensions	REG_DWORD	1
