Windows XP Pro

Try to drag any file onto the POV editor window and it crashes every time. 
Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes.

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate x64. It does not make a difference whether I
run the standard, SSE2 or 64-bit version, they all crash when dropping a file
from Windows Explorer. Beta 24 did not exhibit this problem.

My processor is an Intel Core2 Duo E6600 (2.4GHz) and I have 2GB DDR2 memory.

Let me know (devs) if you'd like me to attach any kind of dump file.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It will be fixed.

Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, AMD 4 core processor.

I have experienced the same issue and I have found the same error if a batch is
created.  The application will allow you to select the files but crashed with
the same error just after pressing OK.  I suspect its she same bug.
