That's odd. On my machine it will quite happily open include files that
are in the normal library path and in extra library paths that I have
added to povray.ini.

I have had one situation where beta 9 povwin stopped responding to me,
but all I was doing at the time was starting it up by double-clicking on
a pov file. Killing it with ctrl-alt-del and then restarting it didn't
cure the problem. Each time it started it started minimised; clicking on
the task bar opened the main window; clicking anywhere on the main
window caused the window to change from active window colours to
inactive window colours.

I ended up having to reinstall to get it to work again.
