HDR problem/error message

i did a tutorial from wiki (http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/HDRI_with_YafRay) and both times i tried to render the last step, blender said it encountered a problem and needed to shut down. please help.

i have windows XP. if that makes any difference.

thanks

You might try Blender internal, it now supports image based lighting.

thanks, man! workin’ great now. :smiley:

What happens if you skip this step in the tutorial and keep the XML activated?

Go to the YafRay tab and deactivate the XML button

yay! no error message!

but i can’t get any picture. it renders black, and i can’t figure out why. is it a directory issue? but that shouldn’t matter…

any help? thanx.
