I am home from college for the holiday week, and our two home computers are both Windows XP (yay, no Vista).
BUT, Mincecraft will not run on them. It comes up with a black screen after force-updating files screen, and locks up. Then, it slowly builds it's memory usage. When I force-closed it with task manager, it was using 400,000kBs memory (and rising).
One computer is an ATI video card with Intel chipset, and other is NVIDIA card with Intel chipset.
Whats going on? (yes I tried the sticky thread, no it didn't help)
Also, the browser version doesn't work either...

LOL, can someone help me? I am bored outta my mind...
YES, Java is up to date. YES, I tried re-installing Java. NO, my computer is not a POS, it runs much more intense games just fine.
I recommend Windows 7. I for one was happy to get out of the ugly UI of xp, however the severe performance loss was an issue... (The jump for XP to Vista). -Oh, and I have to play it on Vista, RAM sucks on Vista.
I hear Windows 7 isn't so bad.
you would be MUCH better with Vista, its way better
lol, the graphics card is too old for that. i still tried. no effect.
anyone else have blackscreen issues with XP???
someone has to of had these same issues...
If your card is too old to get drivers for, then it is probably too old to play MC.
I got "new" drivers for my 9 year old Radeon x300. How old can yours be?

its a little over 10 yrs. Nvidia.
But, it can run much, much more intensive games.
i.e. UT2004, GTASA, UT3... etc
and, it runs all the newer 3D online JAVA games just fine...
i'm just glad that i'll be back to my new computer on Sat/Sun
