Ontrack Systemsweep 2000 has a very good crash prevention program. We use
Norton up at school, but for some reason, the CrashGuard seems to cause
crashes. Usually, upon starting Netscape with CrashGuard on, it crashes,
but when CG is off, it doesn't crash. Weird.
Go Ontrack!

As I have explained PovRAY is working well the first time after installation.
Then after some time it stops windows. It doesn't seem to be linked to video.
This happens just after the first time I use Megapov

If you don't ever run MegaPov, will POV-Ray crash?

Yes
POVRAY alone (without megapov) is crashing (It works well one time after
povray installation and then for each use, it is crashing).
I have done all what people said but unfortunaltly no change in the system
crash.
-disabled Norton CrashGuard

Sadly it sounds asthough your only option is to
reinstall windows.
I heard of someone having this problem a while ago
and his solution was a windows reinstall, after trying
many other things, (think it was Bill Dewit).
Good luck.

Hello there,
I just started using povray and was playing with some simple scenes and the quality
settings. And I was wondering, is there a way to put the quality setting in the pov
file and not on the command line.
Thanks in advance

I have never tried this but you might want to check out the docs on the
use of .ini file options. I am pretty sure that you can specify quality
settings in a .ini file for your scene so you do not have to specify them
on the command line each time you run the program. This of course would
be a POV-Ray for Windows only solution. If you are using a different
platform I am not sure what the proceedures would be.

Not in the official povray, but it's possible with megapov.

The Ini files can also be called upon at a command line, in DOS for instance,
basic idea is that a non-pov or non-inc file is read for input (I'm going by
memory here). However for doing so within the scene file (*.pov) you need to
use MegaPOV patch like Nieminen J. has suggested. Then you simply place a
ini_option "Quality=9" , for example, into 'global_settings'.
