  You'll probably need to re-install chiefl architect from the master 
copy...

Is POVRay properly installed? What version does Cheif Archetect require? 
Do you have that version installed?

Anything else is beyond the scope of POVRay forums, and you will be 
better off contacting the support people for Cheif Archetect.

thanks mike,
this i am not sure about, i just copied folder to folder which i backed up
prior to formating c:. i am sure its something simple like that, i have
down loaded the latest version from the website, how can i incorporate it
in chief arch. or do i have to keep saving the view as . pov. this i have
tried but not very sucessfully, i need to get a grips with the pov-ray
program, chief arch does it all for me.

You ran the installer for POVRay, right? There's something written to 
the registry to get it working, but I don't exactly know what that is. I 
wish I knew more about the program you're trying to get working.

Hi,

Check the [GUIExtensions] section at the pvengine.ini and make sure that the 
'PovChiefBridge.pge' path is correct.

Hope this helps,

Hugo

"There's something written to the registry to get it working, but I 
don't exactly know what that is."

That's generally the case and also the reason why "copying" a folder 
doesn't work well with programs that require a Windows installer. I do 
IT for a living and deal with this all the time. You're probably missing 
a registry entry...
