Here's an update on this same issue. I had MegaPocPlus write a .ini file, got
the same error message. I edited the .ini file and told MegaPovPlus to read the
.ini file, but not write one. It still couldn't find the file. It opens older
files just fine and renders them perfectly. It appears to only be affecting the
Demo Files, no matter where I put them on my drive...

This sucks. I can't figure it out. I'll keep trying new versions as they come,
tho.
