Help!
i've finally *found* POV - after wishing for a raytracer for too long..
after the down load and getting to the install screen and clicking it
crashes
instantly, here's the message:
POVWIN3 caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0177:bff7a783.

the inner workings
of Windows 98...

Hi & welcome to the POV community
You'll want to suscribe to povray.binaries.images & .animations,
povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions & ask your questions
relating to pov in povray.newusers,
look at Warp's VFAQ (http://www.students.tut.fi/~warp/povVFAQ.html),
check out MegaPOV (http://nathan.kopp.com/patched.html),
check out moray (http://www.stmuc.com/moray/) as a modeller and
look through the links at povray.org/links/ (Thanks uncle Ken) for other
resources.
Also the IRTC http://www.irtc.org) is a competition you may want to enter
later on.
BTW POV3.5 may be out soon.

I have never heard of anything like this before.
Could be something to do with the download - their may have been some data
error.
Before redownloading from your closest mirror try using the same installer
on another
windows machine, try rebooting a few times and then installing, try
reinstalling other software
etc to find out where the problem is.

Only Bill Gate$ & his buddies are :) - use Linux & Wine instead.

Might be a faulty install file (redownload needed) as Pabs suggests; but just in case,
you should check your
system out there in the usual manner, doing a scandisk and defrag. Also try
Start|Run... SFC to do a system
file check. The problem could be in your computer as you said. Memory swapping
trouble during install
execution or something.
I just found a great web page for help on the "kernel":

Just to add a note here: if you use SFC (Win98 is only OS I know of that has that)
then be judicial about it's
use. No need to roll back time on DLLs and cause reinstalls of the rest of your
software after all.

Ummm... problem there... defrag does not seem to want to work - apparently it stops if
there is anything
writing to the disc, and *something* seems to make the disc lite "beep" every 15 secs
or so, I have no idea
how to keep this from happening - yes all windows are closed. Is there any way to
*determine* what is
talking to the disc?? Nor do I know if this is the problem.
A just aquired copy of Norton Utilities 2001 also does not install - with the SAME
error message!
(not looking good now, eh?)
Also, while the windows fix area of the CD runs fine from the CD (wierd isn't it),
"Disk Doctor" doesn't
get going since it too stops if there is a write to the disc, and yes there seems to
be a write to the disc!!
(you'd think they'd write a utility to tell the user what's doing it...)
> Also try Start|Run... SFC to do a system
What is SFC?? (i presume "system file check") but what is it called, and how is it
controlled?
Scandisc runs "regularly" on this computer, since often on shutdown and then a
subsequent start, it
seems to think that it wasn't shut down right... the OS was replaced from the CD once
after it got
corrupted, early on, (geez, isn't there a way to replace all or part of the OS, like
on a Mac without
scrubbing the friggin disc??) [arrrgh!] and it ran the same way before and after...

The endless ennui of windoze goes on:
I defragged using the proceedures in the windowstrouble website - also
ran
SFC... that revealed possible "Windows/System" file corrupted - oh
great....
Apparently my OEM System CDR puts "CABS" in a subdirectory, so you can
extract files to fix bad ones from there... did that for Kernel32.dll,
Taskmon.exe
(the latter gave a Kernel32.dll error), and Vmm32.vxd, for good luck...
no change.
Also deleted the Win386.swp swap file and emptied the temp directory...
no luck.
But the computer still works, so that is good.
The windowstrouble website is good... read most of it.
It seems to me that the ONLY way to run windows98 is to have a SEPARATE
physical drive for the OS, and a large drive for everything else. Then
set up your
file system so that there are separate folders in one place with all the
nice zipped
downloads, and in one place with all the setup files neatly arrayed...
NOT like the
stupid thing comes from the factory... dumb and dumber...
Looks like I'll have to spend a few days doing this... of course there
is tons of interminable
and indeterminable files dumped hither and yon by all sorts of things
(what is all this
chaff??)
I think the windowstrouble site gave a way to reinstall the system and
keep your
preferences - wouldn't that be nice. Oddly, on a mac it is all
transparent - or it was
last time I looked. Isn't MS-DOS based software just GREAT!!
Anyone have any other ideas, before I go forward and have to re-install
my entire
(so-called) system??

No advice to give but I have on more than one occassion did a
reinstall over the existing version and never suffered a loss
because of it.

- Posting in HTML - Grrrr
- Quoting other peoples sigs without responding to them
- Posting binaries outside of povray.binaries.*/p.off-topic

Sorry for the HTML posting... I don't like that either -
Netscape is *supposed* to ask before sending - I didn't write the code,
it doesn't seem to do this all the time...
So far as the other things, I didn't think that I have done any of them
yet...
