Minecraft Forums

Hello all,

I've been playing Minecraft for several months now without any issue. I took a month break or so, and when I started trying to play again today, I started getting this Error 7 error once I am in game and the terrain is loading. Here is a screenshot of the actual error and a quick rundown of my system specs:

I have run Minecraft since I've owned it on this laptop only. I've done the whole virus and other malware scans, nothing turned up. I'm currently playing WOW and Day Z without any issues - Just Minecraft. The only change that I've applied to my system since last playing MC is an update to the video drivers.

Any ideas?

Anyone? I've scoured the net. Haven't found anything that has helped. Re-installed MC a few times. Messed around with the in-game video settings. Nothing has helped.

Does Mojang offer official technical support anywhere? I purchased the game and it is currently unplayable. No one here is offering any assistance.

It's been over a month and I'm still getting the same error. I've tried running Minecraft in different compatibility modes, turned off Open GL, re-installed Windows 7, updated everything (Win 7, drivers, Java), tried Java 32 and 64 (even though I'm using Win 7 64-bit). This HAS to be an issue with Minecraft, as I am able to run other games, on max settings, with no issues. I recently started playing Guild Wars 2 on high settings without any sort of issue.

Has anyone heard of a solution to this issue? I have found other people on different forums complaining about the same error code, but no resolution.

... and did you follow the link in that pop up and read this:

It provides two possible solutions.

and since you said:

The only change that I've applied to my system since last playing MC is an update to the video drivers.

I'd add one more solution:

Roll back to video drivers that work.
