This page summarizes some of the known issues in using POV-Ray with Windows Vista®.

Vista® has a problem when trying to create animations. If the "Initial_Frame" or "Final_Frame" values in POVRAY.INI are set, the program will freeze up and exit rather badly.

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".

It should run smoothly after that (or at least it has for me).
