This page summarizes some of the known issues in using POV-Ray with Windows Vista&reg;.<br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
Some people have had problems running [http://www.povray.org POVRay] for Windows under Vista&reg;. This section should help address some of these issues and possible solutions.<br />
<br />
==Animation Incompatibility==<br />
Vista&reg; has a problem when trying to create animations. If the "Initial_Frame" or "Final_Frame" values in <U>POVRAY.INI</u> are set, the program will freeze up and exit rather badly.<br />
<br />
To get around this, you need to find the binary (usually "c:\program files\pov-ray for windows v.36\bin\pvengine.exe"). Right click on the icon and select "Properties". Under the "Compatibility" tab, click the button for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows 98/Windows Me." Slightly lower, click on the button for "Disable visual themes".<br />
<br />
It should run smoothly after that (or at least it has for me).<br />
<br />

<br />
Sometimes the above method does not work. I've found the following always works - YMMV:<br />
<br />
# Install into a directory other than "Program Files"<br />
# After installation, perform the procedure described above<br />
# Before closing the properties tab click on the "Security" tab<br />
# Make sure all users have "full control" selected in the "permissions" box<br />
