I don't have a problem with it at all so I don't think it's a problem with
the one POVRay is posting.  Let me know and I can send you the one I'm
using.  Warning:  it's about 6MB in size!

Thanks,

I downloaded and installed PovRay this morning and I am getting this same
error.  It happens when I open the help.  I can click OK and the error
message goes away.  When I click on a help item I get the same error
message.  Again, I can click OK and see the item.  It works.  I can see
everything I've tried to see, so far.  But it's a very irrititating to use
the help.  It happens every time I click on something.

I installed PovRay in E:\Program Files\Povray.  I didn't want to use the
full name suggested by the installation.  I try to keep names from getting
too long for a variety of reasons.  I wonder if this has something to do
with the problem.

I have clicked directly on the help file and I get the same problem.

I'm using Win98 on a P3 450 with 256 meg ram.  The computer is about 4
months old.  PovRay is installed in a 13 gig partionion on a 20 gig hard
drive.

The exact message text is:  "An error exists in this help file.  Contact
your application vendor for an updated Help file.  (1024)".

The PovRay version is 3.1g.

This is a follow up to my previous message.

I just realized that most of the features in the help file don't function.
The right and left arrow, back and options are all ignored.

I can click on a link, get the error message, click OK and see the help
text.  Nothing else works.
