I've now tried just that...

If I open notepad by right clicking and selecting "run as
administrator" I can edit and save the INI file.  However I still can't
make an animation.  If I select one of the normal options POV-Ray runs and
does make an image.  Like this:

As soon as I select the animation option I entered I just get this:

http://www.wwwmwww.com/images/VistaError4.png

The INI file contains what you see commented out in the sky.pov file.  I've
even now right clicked on POV-Ray itself and ran it as an administrator but
it makes no difference.

Arg...

Any other ideas,
Carl
