Idon'tstudydinosaurs Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) I have heard about this issue with minecraft. Definately is a driver issue. Perhaps close ALL programs, reinstall the updated driver and then reset the computer. There is a minecraft forum I am pretty sure which may have the answer. If all else fails you could do a system restore back to when it was working. At least you could do that with windows last time I used it. Edit: It's a computer. Nothing is easy.

Scarecrow Posted June 15, 2013 Generally foolproof reset for when you accidentally break minecraft: - Open windows explorer (Windows key + E) - In the navigation bar at the top, type %appdata% and press enter. This is a shortcut that will take you to your computer's application data folder (on windows 7 it should take you to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming but this might be different on other versions) - Open the folder ".minecraft". - Open the folder "bin". - Delete everything in this folder. - Run minecraft. It will redownload the files and probably fix whatever you broke. If this doesn't work you'll have to go into some more detail about what you actually did. Post the exact error message, also. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naja naja Posted June 16, 2013 Thanks heaps for that, it downloaded and everything, but afterwards gave the same error message.

Mycot Posted June 16, 2013 Perhaps the Japanese board game "GO" may be a much better option for a growing mind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sallubrious Posted June 16, 2013 Perhaps the Japanese board game "GO" may be a much better option for a growing mind. Only until the "Growing mind" is old enough to understand that liberties have a somewhat plastic interpretation when their opponet has had more than 5 or 6 drinks, especially when the game flows quickly and a distractive device is employed to break the focus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarecrow Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Try these: This may simply be lack of available RAM. Try this: - Open notepad to create a new text file. - In the textfile, you should write the following line: java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar "Minecraft.exe"- Save this as anything you like, but the file name must end in ".bat" instead of ".txt". For example you might save it as "minecraft_1gb_memory.bat". You're going to move this file so you can just save it on your desktop or something for now.- Go to the same folder where you downloaded and execute minecraft.exe (the launcher, not the jar file!). You might be able to do this by right clicking on the minecraft shortcut on the desktop and choosing "open file location", or by looking at the shortcut's properties to find where the file is located. - Move the .bat file you created in to this folder. - Try running the .bat file. Hopefully it will run minecraft and fix your problem. If this is the case you can right click > send to desktop on the .bat file, and use the shortcut that creates to run minecraft. If it gives you a new error, post it here. But if you're still getting the same error as before, consider the following: Are you sure you've updated to the latest drivers for your video card? Do you know how to do this? Please post a dxdiag report. Edited June 17, 2013 by Scarecrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
