  Hi, Jaime. Would you happen to recall exactly what the install errors were
on the Windows version? I'm sure Chris Cason would like to see if he can do
anything about it - that is, if you still have a Windows partition on your
hard drive.

  No, sorry, I was talking about Windows not POV-Ray. It is Windows who
don't want to install on my machine, and that's why I can't have any
chance to install POV for win... by the moment... I think it's something
about the RAM (at least this is what I think after reading microsoft
explanation of SUWIN errors), so my vendor is searching for another one,
to test if it corrects the problem. The fact is that Linux uses that RAM
daily, and pretty well indeed.
