For the past few months I have been trying to get my unmodified minecraft to load. It seems to only happen when I load any update above 1.7.2.
I have a windows XP and the most current Java version by 11/23/14.
Here is the error that comes up in the Game output in the launcher:

Please help this probably my last and only hope.
