Second, what went through your head when you decided to post this in Shenanigans?

Third: acquire a non-modded 1.0 minecraft.jar and replace your current one with it.

1. I'm using windows 7
2. Sorry Melkyore, I didn't see the tech support thread at the time, being at the very bottom. Sawwy. :c
3. I did that, now whenever I boot it up, the screen goes dark and the error screen comes up. I tried deleting the .jar file, replacing it with a "clean" one, then the whole bin folder, then the whole minecraft folder, but the same result each time. Halp?

3 .... I boot it up, the screen goes dark and the error screen comes up.


Do you have any way to upload a screenshot or type out what the error says? (out of mem error, etc...)

1. Are you using 32bit or 64bit Win7?
2. Are you using 32bit or 64bit Java?

Alternative: Redo everything.
-Go to Start - type in %appdata% in search bar
-Copy .minecraft folder to desktop incase you need something saved and delete .minecraft folder in %appdata%.
-Uninstall all java and reboot.
-Go to java's site http://www.java.com/en/ and just go through the steps to acquire java as usual.
-Reboot
-Redownload minecraft.exe from http://minecraft.net (Tommorow when its back up, currently down from sopa/pipa)
-Update to the most current minecraft release and see if you can open up a single player map without crashing.


If it continues to crash:
-Go to http://www.java.com/...va_win64bit.xml and there is a link for 64-bit java towards the bottom. The download link is listed under "Java for 64-bit browsers"
-Download, install and reboot. This is how i have my setup with both 32bit and 64bit java installed.
-Test it again.


If it continues to crash:
-Go update your video drivers


If it continues to crash:
-I have no idear...

I suggest two things:
Using the Linux jar to start-up the game. With the scary command-line options.

Second, upgrade Java to version 7. It solved a lot of problems on my end when I did it.
