Im not new to PovRay (I started years ago with "DKBTrace"). I'm just back
after having been gone awhile... my last computer was destroyed in an
accident in late 2002.

So now I have a strong custom built computer (AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+, 4Gb
RAM, 500 Gb HD space, Nvidia 8800GTX video card, ... etc). .. and
unfortunately(?) Windows Vista Home Premium *64 bit version*. The new
computer was just delivered this afternoon, and I am still getting used to
Vista (XP kind of passed me by, my last machine used WinME). I'm dismayed
to see from a some posts that PovRay and Vista don't seem to be getting
along (?)

Two questions.

(1) Which version should I attempt to install on my computer... I have a
dual  core 64 bit processor and a 64 bit version of Vista, but the download
page  specifically states " (64 bit) XP Professional ".

(2) Can someone who has already suffered through it post a *definitive*
"how-to" on getting POVRay (3.6.1c) to run under Vista without problems?
With a minimum of fuss?

- Thanks - Jeff
