Steven, this may be just a dialog box bug - I tried it and got the same message,
but the file was written to disk anyway. I just checked the "Don't tell me
again" box. All fixed. I used the following INI file on the Basic Scene:

Input_File_Name = basicScene.pov
Output_File_Name = basicScene_r1c1.png

Height = 1000
Width = 1000

Start_Column = 1
End_Column = 100
Start_Row = 1
End_Row = 100
