Here's one for the experts...
I have just reformatted my hrd drive, and of course the first serious app
I reinstalled was Povray.
But now I have a Povray without a toolbar !!
The toolbar area is blank, until I move the mouse over the toolbar, then the
buttons appear.
I have already tried reinstalling it twice, and I tried reinstalling my
display card drivers too, with no luck.
Anybody have an idea what could be the prob ??
TIA.   :)

I seem to recall a problem with Internet Explorer 5 causing this problem but
I don't know what the fix was. Take a look through this group a ways back and
you might find a related article or two on this problem and a possible fix.

If that isn't it I am clueless and apologize for my lack of help.

In my case the problem of the initially invisible toolbar buttons
disappeared when installing POV-Ray version 3.1g over version 3.1e.

It's a problem with a dll called comctl32.dll. It's a known problem (not a bug).
Standard Windows95 install doesn't have the 'cool buttons', the dll that comes
with IE4 (or 5) does. Sorry I'm a bit vague, hope this helps anyway.
