it's quite OK for them not to be there. and they don't have anything
to do with your problem.
if you can't find a solution to the problem ping me again and I'll get
a debugging version to you.

If the patch has a rollback try using it and seeing if it makes a difference
(it'll be in the add/remove software menu in that case).
The error you are seeing is generated if the backend thread takes more than
one second to liven up and finish its initialization. On my test system it
takes less than 20 milliseconds to do this so I'd say that something is going
on that's seriously slowing down or more likely completely jamming up the POVMS
and/or POV code initialization.

It doesn't seem to be anything to do with MS patches.
I'm going to turn all programs off one by one to see if it's another
program. Been laying floors all day so I've only just got round to having
thoughts about the problem.
Chris please send me a debugging version.

Do you have multiple versions of POV-Ray installed, so you can try and see
if they work? I have 4 versions (they are basically just multiple .exe
files ala pvengine.exe)
