I feel your pain. The Win7 learning curve was so steep, I ended up
switching to GNU/Linux!
I use Win10 away from home, and find it far less unpleasant than Win7,
though I still would have preferred the straightforwardness of WinXP.
Unfortunately(?), I boot up Win7 at home so seldom that it hasn't had a
chance to download Win10.

Warning popup:
This build of POV-Ray requires that your processor provides SSE2
support. Please use the standard non-SSE2 version of POV-Ray on this
computer.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.19 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM
I used to be able to run both on this computer.
pvengine.exe runs, linked to older downlaoded editor?, not opening
files. I still have the alternate editor file, will run with that.
....
I only have a newer alternate cmedit32-sse2.dll

I post about Win XP32, I render on Win10 64bit.
Although there maybe others out there ;-)

I'm not sure what I have, needs more testing.

As a workaround, you might simply rename or copy that DLL to
`cmedit32.dll`, and do the corresponding for `povcmax32-sse2.dll`.

So you're saying you're no longer using POV-Ray on XP yourself?
Well, that might change things...

I have some hunch where this might be coming from.
I might be bombarding you with a few test executables in the next few
days to get to the bottom of it.

I will continue to turn on my 'old' Win XP computer and play games, and
even use POV-Ray on it, but I only need pov v3.6 for this.
I no longer use XP for rendering of scene files for output. It has been
used for CSG visualization with a OpenGL GUI modeller for years now.
Anything not supported has been hand coded with #if (version xxxxxx)
something.
I would fully support POV-Ray 3.70 as the last fully supported Win XP.
I can only speak for myself, but I no long need POV-Ray for Win XP.

Used the suggestion from Chris, copied over 3.7.0 editor files.
Up and running now.

I'm willing to test if your willing to put in the time to make the
executable.
