I apologize for creating this bug because I'm almost certain it has to do something with my system. But I cannot figure out what to do.
I have tried installing Blender 2.71 from the ZIP file and the installer.
But when I click on the blender.exe, the output window shows up and immediately I get the error 'Blender has stopped working'
1. I have loaded factory settings and removed all user preferences.
2. I made sure it's not my antivirus interfering.
3. I downloaded the latest build from builder.blender.org
All of these did not help me.
I request you to please help me find a solution.
