Why is it that whenever I start up Blender 3D everything isn't normal <Such as making a box with box select> But after like a week it then finally shows up when I try again?

I just had to reboot my computer about a week so I lost blender, now I tried to Re-Install it and All I get is it not working.

Maybe it is something with your computer?

Have you tried the Blender.Org help forum? Aside from a computer on the edge of going belly up and thus messing up Blender [and that did happen to me once] you need to take into account that Python is not automatically installed along with Blender. These are separate installations and both have unique build numbers. I once had an old build of Python and the newest version of Blender and the two did not like one another.

My point is that the problem could be any number of things. Yeah, we can give it a try guessing what is happening with your computer and Blender, but you should probably ask the people at Blender.org's forum.

Hmmm . . . you might also look at some freeware hardware-diagnostic-tools and run them on your computer to see if everything important is one hundred percent -- er -- healthy. If you have any suspicion at all that your computer's motherboard or your hard drive is faltering then you have waaaaaay bigger trouble staring you in the face than just a stubborn Blender build.

uhm..go to the blender website and something tells me that if you Google python you'll be able to answer your questions. Remember this not a blender support forum so you're going to have better luck on their forums.


Cheers,
Dave

That's a good question. I actually had to enter it in a search engine. I forgot that Python is not listed on the Blender download page! Anyway, you can find it here:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download

Obviously, make certain you are downloading the correct version for your computer. Oh yeah, don't bother to search your computer for a version of Python, because even if yours came with it already installed it would be bound to be an out of date version at this point.

Well yes, but what I really meant is don't get confused [like nearly happened to me once] and try to install a Unix Blender or Python version on a Windows computer!

Yep! They have one for Vista 32bit, and so that is what you would download and install. Do this for both Blender and Python.

BUT be aware that you may still have problems with Blender. It could be a wide number of reasons why. If you DO still have problems then you really should join the forums at Blender.org and get some expert advice.
