Encountered a problem

Ok, here’s the thing. I am running a 64bit version of windows and keep trying to install blender (32 bit). I get throught the whole installation and it comes up with an error every time I try to open it. It just says, “Blender has encountered an error and needs to close.” Can anyone help.

Have you tried the 64bit build? You can find it in the testing build section of the Blender3D.org forums.

I’m confused, what’s the difference between a 32-bit and a 64-bit machine (apart from the amount of bits)?
