I was testing out moray 3.7 windows.

was checking out some of the mdl samples that came with it.

did the usual, export it to povray and then render it. the render part 
didn't work.  got a message saying:

"moray has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working 
correctly.  windows will close the program and notify you of a solution"

I'm not really familiar with windows version of moray.  My prior 
experience was with Moray (forget what version) dos version in the late 
'90s; 1998-1999 before I abandoned it due to computer's slow render times.

Back then, I was on OS/2.

now, I'm on win7.

Moray only works with PovRay version 3.5. Sorry.

Could you save to Pov format and just edit the file to be able to render in
Povray 3.7 instead?

I do that with Bishop3D, now freeware. Start the render in Pov 3.6 and 
load it in Pov 3.7, manually.

Yes that is the way to go with Moray. Export the scene to POV-Ray and 
render in version 3.7. Otherwise, it is a good idea to have POV-Ray 3.5 
along too. You can test your scenes and only in the final version export 
and change for POV-Ray 3.7. It was what I did for years before I stopped 
using Moray.

I guess that is one way to do it.

Try Vista and if that doesn't work XP should.

It won't work with Pov 3.7 IIRC but it will work with Pov 3.5.
