Sorry, my bad english.

It was necessary to apply SP in the past version to use blender on windows7, but is the SP necessary for the latest version?

Please:

Give us your exact Blender, OS and GPU (including drivers) versions, as requested in the template!
Ensure both your OS and drivers are fully up-to-date (and use official NVidia drivers, not those provided by windows or tablet maker).
Ensure your GPU driver supports at least OpenGL 2.1.
Try the latest build from our ( buildbot )
Try to start Blender in factory settings (--factory-startup commandline option) (this will ensure whether this is a userpref or addon issue or not).
Try to tweak OGL settings in UserPreferences, System tab (open it by changing type of e.g. 3DView in main window, not as new window).
Try to tweak your GPU driver settings (e.g. try different values between 'performance' and 'quality' if you have such slider, etc.).
Attach as text file here the report generated by Help -> System Info (do not paste it directly in comment).
Try to place this (dll )next to your blender.exe (software OGL, will be slow, but will show whether this is a driver issue or not).

Also, have you downloaded the zip version and run it as administrator?

Typing report in caps does not make it to be resolved faster and only makes it sound impolite.

It is indeed required to have all the service packs and updates installed, otherwise Blender wouldn't run. If all the SP and updates are installed, check if latest stable 2.78 release works for you.

So this is a windows-only exception. According to their msdn page:

The thread tries to execute an invalid instruction.

Here's a few possible causes of this issue, start with the top ones:

  1. Update your windows through Control Panel > Windows Update
  2. Your drivers could be out of date, you need to update them
  3. Your hardware isn't good enough. (You may want to add on additional RAM btw)
  4. Could be issues with your hardware, old computer

The screenshot shows no service pack is installed, which we know causes such illegal instruction errors with certain CPUs, so the solution is just to install the service pack.
