What processor are you using, is it a 64 bits processor?

Are you using Windows XP 64bits edition?
Same question about the Vista version used? They both come in 32 and 64 
bits versions.

If you have a 32 bits processor, you need the 32 bits version.

Even if you have a 64 bits processor, if you have a 32 bits OS, you cant 
take advantage of the full potential of your CPU as it will be forced to 
work in the 32 bits emulation mode.

A 32 bits OS can never run a 64 bits application, ever. There is no 
workaround.

Your options:

Use POV-Ray 32 bits.

OR

Install the 64 bits version of your OS.
