That's a Windows error indicating that the standard Windows function
for resizing images (which POV uses to fit the image into the window)
has failed. It may be a limitation of your hardware, your drivers, or
the function itself - but not in POV.

This is the more or less standardized way to display transparency. The
checker box shows where the image will be transparent - so you can use
it in a paint program to collage it with other images. If you do not
want this behavior, you should turn the alpha channel off (+ua in POV,
I don't know about Moray)

Hope this helps - and maybe try reading the docs :)
