I am getting this message when I try to render even the included scenes...

File init error.
Error opening output file.

Returned from renderer (non-zero return value)
------------
Why? How do I fix this? (the demo runs fine)

Thanks,
Brian

I get two immediate ideas..

1)	is your HDD full?
2)	have you a working directory in the output images setting in the ini file?
Look in Tools->Edit master povray.ini
Search for this thing:
Output_File_Name=C:\graphic\POV-Ray for Windows v3.1\images\

Make sure the =C:\................ thing is a valid path.
