You need to delete ALL versions of blender (you will need admin privileges), then reinstall the latest version. I googled this and found this bug report: Oh last detail which probably doesn't matter) I didn't install Blender, I unzipped the zip file and ran it straight. The screen went black after the driver was installed, and I feared the worst, but after restarting things seemed ok, the driver was installed and even Blender worked! Darkest before the dawn or something. Read also that some other people had to go back to an older driver instead.Īt any rate 2.77 can at least run with a Intel HD graphics, I am proof.īy the way I used an Intel utility called Intel driver update Utility to find the right driver. Actually I was surprised it did, but it did. I tried some suggestions which didn't work (though I needed the 2013 C++ library anyway, a link to this is given at the Blender site just below the Blender download links-I had only 2010) then I simply updated the graphics driver from a 2010 version to the 2012 version. I had this same frustrating problem with WIN 7, and a Intel HD graphics (which supports only OpenGL 2.1). I want to answer so that anyone with my particular situation might benefit.
