I had a Windows xp on my computer and minecraft sp worked perfectly.
Then I wanted to install widows 7 and when I installed minecraft and the newest Java again ,minecraft didn't want to work.I started minecraft over and over but my system didn't react at all.Then I reinstalled Java and minecraft 3 times but it didn't want to start. How to fix this?????

I typed that in the command prompt and I pressed Enter and then it said "The system can not find the specified field"

Did you type in the verisonnumber.jar ?
(not the word the number)

I can´t understand.If my minecraft version is 1.6.2 what should I write?

run as admin.

From what I know, Minecraft SP is a cracked version. We cannot help you on the forums, as it is against the rules. However, if I am incorrect, I am sorry and will help you.

This solved my problem. I recently re-installed windows 7 on my computer, and before Minecraft worked perfectly un-modded. After I re-installed windows 7 I downloaded Minecraft on my fresh install and started the 1.8 Launcher. When it downloaded the latest update it would complete and then get stuck just saying "Launching". I let the computer sit for more than 20 minutes and still it never got past the launcher. I opened up the profile settings and realized Minecraft couldn't open because the directory path was wrong. It didn't know what to open, so you need to change the directory path by going to the .minecraft folder which is located under your user name in the C:Drive for me.
