Lutz,
   I have had the same problem -- I have the ATI All-In-Wonder card.
I suspected a problem with the drivers because I was seeing this
problem during the time I spent with Betas 3 & 4 (I believe)

  I downloaded the latest drivers from ATI, but continued to have the
problem -- Moray would crash even before it came up completely.
Strangely though, the problem went almost entirely away with the final
release (not build 4215, but the one before that).   I have had Moray
crash only once since installing POV-Ray 3.1 and Moray build 4215 --
but it did crash that once, so I suspect I still have a problem --
maybe I should go for a different (and simpler) video card.

  But is there any reason you can think of why Moray's use of the card
would cause this bug in the driver to surface and other applications
don't?

   Thanks,

        George Hunt
