Minecraft Forums

Hi everybody, I have a problem with my mincraft. I haven't played for a number of months. I noticed a youtube video about minecraft so i wanted to go back and try it. The only problem is it won't update or run. I tried to re download it off the website because for whatever reason i could find the .exe. It asked me to update so I said yes and it froze right at the start. So next time I Said not to update it. Same thing although this time is froze right at the end. Then I tried to force update with the same result. Okay so i deleted C:\Users\Liam*\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft (After i showed my hidden files) and tried all the same things (except this time it didn't give me the option not to update it) It still didnt work. I also tried running spoutcraft instead with the same result. Please help I don't know what to do next.
