I had the same problem.
After installing Python 2.5.4(dec 23) it worked fine.
I had first the latest Python installed, that didn't work.

Do you see actually the blender program? or does it crash after you see the message that python has be found?
I have here the blender program running and another window that says "check for python... got it" do you see that? i leave this window open while work with blender if i click it away then everything is gone.

And one other thing when i start blender i use "run as administrator"

Well that's too bad, maybe you could visit the Blender forum perhaps someone there can help you further with it.

What numbers do you have? I have Blender 2.45 and Python 25 2.3 and it works great.

When you downloaded it, did you download the .zip archives or the installer?

I've had problems with the installer before now so I downloaded the archives and it runs fine everytime so that may be worth a look.

hm ok then, thats odd...

Another thing could be your OpenGl.
and also check the system requirements and make sure that everything is ok other than that all I can suggest is E-mail them.

sorry I couldnt be more help.

Hmmm...I did have that problem ages ago, and I don't remember how I fixed it. Blender has very modest system requirements, so I can't imagine that being an issue. I suggest just doing the usual re-installing of drivers etc, that might fix it.

After reading a few forum posts, it may actually be a hardware problem. Do you run an ATI card? Blender has had problems in the past with them, but there are a few suggested fixes. http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1215877

Also, I do remember what was making it crash. I had one of those crappy DVD player programs that you get with a new DVD drive, and it sat in the background, not doing much. By getting rid of that from the system processes, I could use blender fine. It was a strange one, and I have heard reports that Quicktime does the same thing on occasions. I suggest trying to run blender after going through your system processes and getting rid of anything that could be using your video card.

None of what I have said may work lol, but I hope it helps.
