I got the distinct feeling, some of my responses are getting lost...

I can open (edit) both of these files
And at startup the messages window does not show anything noteworthy.

Sorry Peter I have been waiting for a response to a reply I sent hours 
ago. I will repeat it now.

Okay, I did that thing and got the same results as you.
I got Pov 3.5 working by going into the icon's properties and ticking 
the disable visual themes box in the compatibility tab. It might be 
better to do it to pvengine.exe

Do the same for Moray also set the compatibility to Win XP SP 3

I am sure that this will help but if not post again

Stephen,

In short: that simply worked! Rendering scenes files now works with POV3.5
together with Win7.
You'r the greatest.

I haven't tried it with Moray, but i see no problems ahead on that road anymore.
Just went straight back to this site to tell the good news.

Thanks buddy, long time since i've seen such perseverenced help.

Regards, Peter

P.S. will update this thread with final findings

Oh dear! That means that I can't get any greater. I am so dissapointed. ;-)

Please do and remember there is a thread specifically for Moray related 
things. It is http://news.povray.org/moray.win/
There has not been many posts over the last few years but Thomas and a 
few others keep an eye on it. And this group is probably not the best 
one to post on. There is also http://news.povray.org/povray.general/
for general discussion.
http://news.povray.org/povray.newusers/ for beginners and you will get 
more detailed answers.
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/ for posting images

And you can join us at http://news.povray.org/povray.off-topic/ to chew 
the fat.

Henceforward, you have been designated by majority consensus as the 
leading trouble shooter on this issue :-)

On a more serious note: I should reinstall Moray in the near future.

Is that a consensus of one? ;-)
Anyway it has been almost 6 years since I have used Moray. So I am not 
the best person to be the guru.

Why? You are doing well enough without it.
I need it or Bishop3D to help me visualise and build the scene. Without 
an import function it becomes less useful as PovRay SDL moves away from 
earlier versions.
I look forward to when development of Moray can restart.

Of course! I am the majority :-) Plus Peter makes it the majority + one....

True that I am doing well without, but there are a couple of things that 
are interesting to do in Moray, especially a number of plugins. 
Otherwise, I prefer to build with meshes nowadays, which also render 
faster. Like you say, Moray is certainly useful in helping visualize 
scene building, which is also my reason to look forward to a new version.

It all works now: Moray3.5 can work togeter with POV3.5 on a win7 system.
Read back on this thread to find the how Stephen found the solution.

Many thanks to all people, who put in the effort to help me make a step forward.

Best regards,
Peter.
