(Helps please) Hi Guys, my Blender won't start~

EDITED! All fixed up, thanks guys!

Sorry to bother you guys here, not sure where to post this, but sadly, my blender stopped starting up entirely after getting an entirely new computer :c

I’ve tried several different versions of blender and python and with windows 7 I’v tried all the troubleshooting options, it always ends up just saying “Incompatible program” :C does the same thing for Second Life aswell.

I’v got Windows 7
An AMP Phenom™ II X4 830 Processor 2.80 GHz
6.00 GB RAM
64-bit OS

If that helps any >.>

What type of Graphics Card do you have? Since a game isn’t starting up either, it might have something to do with that.

Try updating the drivers on your graphics card. The ones that come with your card can be months out of date.

Maybe you need the visualc libraries installed? (haven’t used windows for a while, but they won’t be installed on a nw computer by default and official blender 2.49 used to need them… don’t know about 2.5

probably not the problem, but could be worth a go…

Thanks guys, I’m suppost to have an ATI Radeon HD 4850, donno if it was properly put in by Bestbuy >.> unreliable people there~ how would I go about updating my drivers though?

I seem to have it, thanks though ^^

Meanwhile, you could install a ubuntu partition and check if the linux version is working properly.

Ehm, I don’t think its worth poking another OS >.> I have too many things that are windows only

Thanks ^^ It works now, I just had to mess around looking for how to update it ;p downloaded two Stupid signup and pay things that just scanned telling me I had to updated, then found the actual upgrade thingy which was right infront of me >.>
