I've not been following this thread closely as I don't run on windows, 
but that 'continue' string caught my eye. I assume this is really 
pointing to a "continue.ini" file?

Did you create that file or is it some automatic windows interface thing?

What is in it?

Prior to trying to continue, do you see a state file with a .pov-state 
suffix for the frame number for which you are trying to continue the 
render? It will be in the directory where you are saving your frame images.

You must be running v3.7 as you don't have v3.8's 
create_continue_trace_log= ?

I'll attach my current yuqk documentation for continue_trace= / +c. The 
implementation is slightly different and I'm running on linux, but I 
expect the issues one might see are often similar. Maybe something 
therein a help.
