Minecraft Forums

Greetings everyone.

Been playing Minecraft since the beta. Bought the game before it came out. I've gone through many updates as have you all. Tried out mods, removed them. Used texture packs, removed them. But since the last update to 1.3.2 ... I have not been able to get past the blackscreen that happens just after log in and the update/upload bar scrolls to the end. You think the game is about to load and .... ugh. Black screen.

I have deleted the .bin file. I have deleted the bin AND resource files. I have updated both Java and all pertinent drivers for this system. I have updated firefox. I have flipped off firewalls. I have run every scan I own to check for some hidden virus lurking in the depths of my system. NOTHING is working.

I have read so many forum posts that I nod and say 'YES! that's ME! Now how did you .... Oh, I did that. Still getting the black screen.

I am obviously overlooking something. And I would bet it's something simple.

I do not want to have to stop playing this game. I have invested many many hours with my children. We all LOVE this game.

Any help to finally solve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Lupi

Berwout ...

You are a genius. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out.
Instead of going to Nvidia and selecting the driver I already had and updating that, I googled
"Windows XP 32 bit English Nvidia Driver" ...
clicked the first link, downloaded THAT driver
- checked for viruses
- installed - updated
- defragged
- rebooted ... then held my breath.

You got two arms in the air and a whoop whoop. It looked at first like minecraft was going to hang up again, but after only a second I got the beloved white Mojang logo and the game loaded.

Added in my old Saves and my favorite texture pack, restarted it ... and it's working!

I will be happily MCing again into the wee hours thanks to you.

wow... I REALLY need your help, I hope you can get back to me soon, because I really want to get back to my happy MCing... I am pretty sure you can help me, my error report is this,

and thats EXACTLY how mine went "and then it went black and when I thought it might work..." I really hope you can help me, I tried updating Java, but I have the newest EVERYTHING, and I tried almost everything a else, yours is the only way I haven't tried, I saw Berwout's reply and I saw your other comment saying it works, so I need your help, oh, and also, my PC Specs are:


CPU : AMD Phenom II X4 955 (3,2GHz)
GPU : Nvidia GTS 450 (Clock 939GHz , Memory 840GHz , Shader 1878 Ghz)
RAM : 2x 2GB Kingston PC3-10700 (667MHz) Dual channel (DRAM freq 2666MHz)
HDD : Western Digital 1TB SATA-III
Motherboard : MSI 870A-G54 (MS-7599) (CPU1)
hope this also helps in the aid to get me back on track to MCing... I can't find which video card driver I need on nvidia, (or something like that...) so I was hoping you could help,

P.S.

(I don't go on here that often, so if I don't get back soon please message me on YouTube, my name is xXGameBoyIanXx)

-THANK YOU
