I tried to run pov from a restricted account on my xp system and it stopped 
me as well .... I tried ALL the ideas I floated in my last responce and they 
all worked for me so I'm at a loss to offer anything else .... perhaps you 
have a corrupt installation or a problem with your system.

Maybe other readers of this new group might have some insights????
