I have purchased, downloaded and installed minecraft beta onto my computer. I can open the game, "build the terrain" and start playing and moving around. The problem I am having is that the second that I move the mouse, the computer bluescreens and says that it "got caught in an infinite loop". When I first downloaded the game, this didn't happen. I was able to play the game (with some even with the distance render on tiny), but after a night and a little more exploring, this problem started occuring. Any suggestions as to what to do to fix the problem? I don't even know what is causing this to happen.
A blue-screen makes me think you may have faulty ram, video card or processor. If you can eliminate all other possibilities (such as resetting your /bin/ folder as suggested by others) start by swapping out your ram and work your way up from there.
If RAM fails and you have more than one module, test with just one (in succession) to see which is good/bad.
Check to make sure all cables and modules are properly seated (if the machine is powered down regularly, thermal expansion can make cables work loose, this is usually not a problem with memory modules unless they were not locked down at install time). If updating java and/or minecraft files does not work, try swapping video cards (either a different one into your machine, or your card into a machine known to run minecraft).

If at first you don't succeed, repair the creeper damage and try again.
I'm running of of windows XP 2000, and I'm 99% sure that the ram is not the issue as I just got an not 3 days ago. Its running on 3 gigs of ram now, which should definitely be more than enough, I assume.

Did this happen before you got the RAM? RAM can be faulty out of the factory just because it's 'new' doesn't mean it's good. If it's an older system the odds are the RAM spent quite a bit of time sitting in a warehouse before you ordered it.

Windows XP and Windows 2000 (often expressed as Win2K) are two different eras.
And RAM can still be an issue. Better to be 100% certain rather than 99% in that case. The motherboard RAM test done at power up merely checks to see if the RAM responds. A comprehensive test program like memtest will check to make sure that each bit of memory actually gives back what was written to it, and is not changed by nearby writes.
I have had a new system that went through what looked like a successful Windows install, which then hung upon clicking 'Start'. memtest eventually revealed that the memory modules would not run at the speed the motherboard was running at. Now I hook up a CD drive and memtest each new machine before I install the hard drive or any other parts to eventually go into the box.

False, that may not be enough. Sorry. There's a lot else to enter into the mix. To be honest, I doubt it work well on a laptop (not sure what you're on). To get to appdata just open any folder or directory location (i.e. myComputer, user) and click to the right (but in the same box) of where it tells you where you are looking in the directory story (i.e. C:/user/myDocuments). That should allow you to type your directory. Erase all and type in %appdata%, press enter.
Wow, you guys are super helpful, thank you. If I get this figured out, I owe you guys many thanks. A quick question, one of my friends "op"ed me on his server and I would like to know how to give myself materials and whatnot. I know that you need to type in the data values into the chat box, but I don't know what to type in with it. an example would be nice, please!
update the lastest version.
Windows XP, Vista, or 7 or something else?
That will determine where the APPDATA is stored.

Your welcome. :3

Won't necessarily detect transient errors.
