Minecraft Forums

Okay, so I just bought Minecraft and then I tried to download it. However when I go to open the file, it reports as broken. So how can I troubleshoot this and actually play? I tried playing it on the browser, however it comes up as a crash error. I'm not entirely certain what to do. I downloaded the latest Java, but other than that I am not sure at all what I'm doing wrong. I'm not exactly computer savvy either...
Please help?

copy the crash error, we cant help I f you dont provide one, most likely is your using the EXE on mac or linux, or the mac applet on windows or linux, and your graphics drivers are to old, that is most likely the browser report

So I just copy and paste here? Because I received two errors. One from the download and another from the browser.

Here is the browser error:

How do I do that? Sorry, I'm just no good at tech lingo.

It's just not working for me. I can't delete the plugin.

I am, that's the thing. It's my personal computer. For some reason I can download Java 6, but it won't show up on the list of Java versions on my computer.

Okay, finally got it to open on my computer, but now it's crashing in game. Is this the same error or is this something new?

Okay, after some messing around I finally got MineCraft to work. Now the only real issue is it randomly going to a brick screen when I exit out of my inventory while in one of my worlds, but I think I can avoid that.
Thank you for your help!

i try to download mine craft but when it asks to save it, it says minecraft is unable to download, i have windows, java is updated, any thoughts?

I downloaded the Minecraft client for Mac OS X ( I run Mountain Lion). when I tried to open the file I get a message saying the file is damaged Move it to the trash. I have emailed support three days ago and have heard nothing in return.

I'm gettin message, please help, thanks
