Hi all, I have a big problem with PovRay, I can't use it at all and I
was used to use it often for fun and work. I bought a new pc, is an AMD
K6 3D 300MHz and Win98 as OS. I installed PovRay 3.02 as I had on my old
pc, another AMD K6 but smaller, and with that PovRay had no problems, on
the new pc I have a crash of PovRay (on the engine) as soon as I launch
a render, even with complex scene or with blank page of editor, on every
render there is the same error and PovRay crush down. I used to model
the scenes first with the Windows version at the lowest resolution and
then use for the final rendering PovRay for Dos. But it's a pain to use
PovRay for Dos as a test rendering, I wonder if anyone of you knows why
I have this problem and if there is a solution.
Thanks a lot to everyone who will help.
Please include my address "pm### [at] usa net" in the cc of the reply to my
message, I'll not be able to read the news, is always freezed this
server from Italy except very at very late night (I'm sending this
message at almost 4am).
Bye bye from Italy!

I can't help with your processor problem but I might be able to help
with your access problem. If you use the link below you can access
the newgroups through the povray.org ftp server. Maybe your server
won't restrict access to it. It is worth tyring anyway.

Hi Mauro.
Try lowering you clock rate to something really small, like 133. If it still
crashes, try setting your chipset configuration to the lowest possible
setting. If it still doesn't work, try to turn off internal and/or external
cache (sloooow1!). Try moving your videoboard to a different slot. If you
are curious why I think this is a hardware problem, well, I have and AMD too
and these things seem to lower the level of crashes at home, should work for
you too. If none of these helps, reinstall POV, reinstall Windows 98, and if
it still crashes, get a bazooka and pay Bill Gates a visit.
Hope this helps.
Peter

I don't think it's a problem with the hardware. I've the same processor (AMD K6
300 3d Now) and encountered no problems with Pov 3.02 or PoV 3.1. I think the
problem is Win 98 (What other do you expect of a MS prodoct). However I'm using
Win 95 B with USB support. I don't know if it helps you, but nevertheless I
hope so.
Yours

Likewise, I am having no problems with my AMD processor. I am even
overclocking my CPU with a 75MHz bus speed which brings my 266 MHz processor
to 300 MHz.

I don't think it is either the processor or Win98. I have the same
setup you do and have found no problems with Povray 3.02 or 3.1 .
