Blender crashes immediately on startup. The console appears with no error message, then the window appears where the GUI should be, but there it crashes with the Windows message "Blender needs to be closed".
I'm using Vista 64bit, hardware are as follows: AMD Phenom X4 9850, 4GB RAM, ATI HD4850.
I could nail it down to the Ati Catalyst driver (tried 8.7 and 8.5). Because Blender runs fine, when I have the driver uninstalled. I also tried different Blender versions (2.46 downwards).

Unfortunately that's driver issues yes... you also use 64 bits, which might make it more complex. We are working on a 64 bits windows version though, stay tuned!

This is a generic request to test your bug report and see if it is still an issue in 2.5alpha2 if so please let me know by making a comment in this report ie 'also in 2.5alpha2' and I will add it to the 2.5 bug list.
