No its not gray. I dont know I dont think it is im color blind so it might be. But i download both the launchers from here http://www.minecraft.net/download.jsp.
it loads up fine to the login screen it flashes done loading then goes black.
I have this exact same issue. However, I've tested the Linux and Mac clients. They both work for me. During the free play weekend I downloaded and played Minecraft. I bought it today. When I try to login now, it doesn't work, but this only happens on the machine I played the free-play on.
I'm having the exact same problem, White/Black screens, but also only on the computer I played the free weekend on.
Would love if someone could figure out whats going on.
Hello. I'm new. My friend convinced me to give this game a try. I love it, but I too am experiencing the black/white screen in windows seven. worked fine for several days, now it doesn't. Nothing seems to have updated, and I've tried everything in the "read before posting" sticky, but still no luck.
I don't mind the down time too much, since this is still a beta, but is there any help anyone can offer? Is there any guess as to how long this issue will persist before a fix is published (or updated out of existence)? I just set up my first server today, and now I have my friends playing on it and I can't. It's quite disappointing.
Finally found a fix that worked for me. (not thanks to getting any help) I'm linking to the thread where I found help, and bumping that thread. Because it ought to be stickied. http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=108884
My problem is, when i open minecraft the loading screen goes blank an freezes up
I seem to be having the same problem as you. In my case, after I log in to minecraft (the downloaded version), I get the Mojang logo. After that, I get the background of the options menu, but not the title or options or anything. That lasts for some ten seconds, and after that the Minecraft screen goes black. The rest of my pc keeps functioning like normal though. Is that similar to what's happening on your computer?
Btw, I hoped it would be resolved with the 1.7.2 version, but while it did download and update, it the results are still the same...
I have the same problem. But its diffrent it happens when I put in too many meterials that make it lag and then white screen after a few minutes im running windows xp and on downloadable client i get hs_err_pidI hope they fix it with an update oh and now whenever there are wolves it happens ALOT.

Try a system restore to whenever it was working.
