Help! Cannot start POV-Ray anymore. Got Windows error message "pvengine.exe
has generated errors and will be shut down by Windows. You will have to
restart this program. Windows is creating an error log." (*)

Looks like a Windows problem, not a POV Ray one, but please can you help?

POV-Ray is v3.6.
PC is laptop under Windows 2000.
Ran fine for about 2 weeks until a few hours ago. This morning, I installed
and tested pose-ray, downloaded some 3DS models from 3dCafe.com, and ran
some scenes from oyonale.org and ignorancia.org, all of which ran ok.

I could not find the error log Windows is supposed to have written.

I have tried the following but to no avail:
-reboot the PC
-uninstall and reinstall POV-Ray in the same directory
-uninstall and reinstall POV-Ray in another directory
-download again the POV-Ray v3.6 (for 32-bit Windows) installer from
povray.org and re-install POV-Ray


Many, many thanks.
