Here's some things to try:
The orthographic camera setting was changed in POV-Ray version 3.5. The
command works the same, but it has been moved to the beginning of the camera
statement, like this:
camera {
orthographic
#declare PCT = 15; // Percentage further away
#declare STEREO = 0; // Normal view
For the lighting and camera angles, you've done so much tinkering with these
that I am unable to get my canned settings to work. Could you send me a
basic POV file (w/ no options changed from their defaults) created by L3PAO
to work with?

Did you render at the 1280x1024, AA 0.3 setting? If you did then I'm at a
loss here :-(

Don't feel bad...I did the same thing with one of my rigs too. In my case,
it wasn't caught until AFTER it had beed posted to my website for a couple
of days.
