Tools->Edit Master POVRAY.INI
Add an extra Library_Path line.

POVRay looks in the library path for any files (e.g. fonts and image
maps as well as include files) that it can't find in the same directory
as the main source file.

Ok, i opened povray.ini

and edited it, here are the last few lines

; Specify path to search for any files not found in current
; directory.  Up to 10 such paths may be specified.
; These were added by the install process with your installation
; drive and directory already patched in.
;
Library_Path=C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.5\INCLUDE
Library_Path=C:\WINNT\Fonts
Library Path=C:\povray_inc


C:\povray_inc is the one i added. But when i run povray i get the following
errors


Preset INI file is 'C:\PROGRAM FILES\POV-RAY FOR WINDOWS
V3.5\RENDERER\QUICKRES.INI', section is '[512x384, No AA]'.
Preset source file is 'C:\Documents and Settings\Boris1\Desktop\Mo_Pov

works fine
What do i do?
