I'm having a similar problem.

Running Octoprint through M3Dfio and the screen to resize, etc. has disappeared.

Running Cura on its own results in the splash screen which disappears on a mouse click.

Uninstalling and reinstalling has no effect.

Uhm. The solution is very silly I'm affraid. Remove minecraft from your system.

Remove minecraft from your system.

It's either work OR play... not both, guys!

Well that would help if I had Minecraft on my sytem.

I have very little on the computer because I use it almost exclusively for 3D printing.

I tried messing around with glut.dll as suggested in previous posts but that didn't work.  Also it is present in one of the python subdirectories

The only software I have installed recently is GiMP.

I had the same problem. (possible cause: using AVG TuneUp registry clean-up).

Uninstalling Cura and Minecraft didn't help.

I found that it helps to make the following change to Cura\util\pymclevel\materials.py

From:

 

    def addYamlBlocksFromFile(self, filename):       if  yaml is None:           return

 

To:

 

    def addYamlBlocksFromFile(self, filename):       if True:           return

I have the same error on Win7 trying to install Cura14 for my UM original. Never played or installed Minecraft.

The file the error refers to is located in C:\cura14\Cura\util\pymclevel\minecraft.yaml

Editing Cura\util\pymclevel\materials.py as suggested did not help.

I finally solved it on my Win7 computer. I am using UM original after a very long time. I tried newer Cura 2.6 version but could not get same results as using older Cura 14 version.

The error was obvious:

"ImportError: No module named distutils.util"

I already had Python installed. So I copied folder C:\Python27\Lib\distutils to C:\cura14\python\Lib\distutils and now the error is gone.
