I am trying to download the Blender software and when I try to open it after downloading, I get an error message that says “Failed to get a context.” How can this be fixed so that I can use the software?
You can also download a ‘daily build’ off the ‘buildbot’ - http://builder.blender.org/download/
For 64bit Windows, the MinGW builds are especially nice, very fast and, in my experience, stable builds.
