Minecraft Forums

So I recently got a new alienware laptop and tried to download Minecraft. I already owned it on my old laptop and it ran fine. When I download the installer and open it, I get the messege:

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

I have Java downloaded and it works fine. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The latest one. Version 7 update 7 or something like that.

Bump, I really want to play the game. Any help is still welcome.
