There are three main causes so far for problems like this.

Windows not updated.

You really really really need windows to run all windows updates on windows vista or 7. For windows 7 you need SP1 installed and for Vista you need to be fully updated.
Please check this, it is the most common cause of these problems...

Having PYTHONPATH, PYTHONHOME or any python related environment variables causes blender to try and use an incompatible version of python.
Even the official windows 3.4 python is currently incompatible as that is compiled with Visual Studio 2010 and does not include a proper manifest. Loading that will crash 100% either silently of with a message like the one posted above.
Please make sure there are no PYTHON related environment variables set.

Please test with a software opengl driver (64 bit Windows, or 32 bit Windows).

I have the same problem on Windows XP SP3 Prof (video card Geforce2 MX/MX400):
blender-2.72-windows32 work fine
blender-2.73-cd2d84d-win32 work only with software opengl driver, but very very slow.

@dsndsn123 I’m sorry, but hopping to use a 14 years old GPU with a modern 3D software is rather… utopia. :/

Blender does try to keep compatibility with old hardware, much much more than any other 3D suite, but there are some limits.

Blender has a brilliant compatibility, it is (2.73) still working on Geforce2 MX :) Solution in the version of OpenGL.

I restarted my machine from Windows XP SP3 Prof in Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and found that the blender-2.73-windows32 works fine. I began to look for differences and found that Win7 has older driver (ForceWare 77.77) than WinXP (ForceWare 93.71), but on Win7 Lavalys Everest in section "Display->OpenGL->OpenGL Compliancy" shows support from version 1.1 to version 1.5, and only version 1.1 on WinXP.
Thus in WinXP I removed the driver version 93.71, then I installed version 77.77, checked OpenGL support to version 1.5 and ran blender 2.73. It works fine. Under WinXP as well as under Win7 have 1 warning:
Warning! Unable to find a multisample pixel format that supports exactly 0 samples. Substituting one that uses 4 samples.

PS: I wrote my previous comment (#280487) in the hope of helping to solve the problem (if it really exists) Blender project or people who are facing the same problem now or will face in the future, because the author has a much more modern graphics card (Shader Model 4.0, OpenGL 2.1) than I have and I decided that the problem is not hardware, but a more general plan.

Hi Experts,

I have the same problem:

Blender 2.72b 64bit worked
Blender 2.73 64bit & 32bit crash

I see the command window popping up, showing two times these messages:
"Warning! Using result of ChoosePixelFormat.

After this, the Blender main window pops up and the splash window and then the program immediately closes

I had this problem on a PC which uses onboard intel chip for the monitor, and two nvidia cards for rendering.
Problem was solved by re-installing the intel vga drivers.
