SOLUTION TO THE SAVE ERROR WHEN INSTALLING TO PROGRAM DIRECTORY (Vista)

The reason why Pov-Ray crashes when trying to save is that the user does not
have permission to write through pvrender.exe

Solution is to find the pvrender.exe file in /bin/ and right-klick select
properties. Under security tab, klick all the users and make sure they all have
full rights. Usually "user" is the one with limited access. Then just OK and
restart Pov Ray if it was running.

I guess you could also just click the "run this application as admin" and that
would work as well... haven't tried it though.

This should fix the problem, and u guys don't need to reinstall your Pov Ray.

( BTW: Why can't these forums just have quick guest login for posting something.
I hate to always have to go through a 5min process to register and shit just to
post something quick. I almost left this solution unposted because of that. )
