:( Java problem?

    Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me.

    Just bought the game (after getting it for the bro I decided it looked absolutely amazing and wanted to get it for myself!).

    So I tried to run the minecraft.exe it loads\downloads the files then just closes creating a java error dump.

    I've tried to reinstall java and delete the .minecraft folder and try again but still get the same error.

    It's driving me nuckin' futs!

    A lot of people saying it stems from Mumble overlay? You running that at all?

    :confused:

    Nope. Just tried it there again. It loads the initial green bar (and also tried a force update to get the .minecraft files that worked). But the window just goes black and closes.

    You've probably done it already, but have you updated graphics drivers? Are you using a sound card at all?

    All drivers are updated. It works on my mates win 7 laptop (although I think that's 32bit).

    Thanks a mil for your help though, I've already posted and searched on the minecraft forum too but no one seems to know why it's crashing either.

    If this doesn't work I'll just have to give up and get a refund. Aw. Really wanted to play this too after watching the Yogscast series!

    Cool. Thanks for that. I'm trying the 1.7.3 version at the mo. Will I need to redownload the minecraft.exe or will it update itself?

    It'll ask you if you wish to update once the release is rolled out :)

    Updated and still getting the same error. I've tried to update to java 7 32bit but still no joy. Would it matter which version of java I'm running?

    Just uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics driver from the toshiba support page and it's running fine now! Ok, a bit laggy but I can live with that. Sweet!

    Thanks for all your help. Now I can get t'mining!
