Minecraft Forums

I purchased the card at walmart for Minecraft for download and membership. I got on the game and was playing it all day Sat and then Sunday morning couldn't log on and keeps getting a black screen after log in. I have updated Java, made sure all the requirements on the back of the game card I have everything..(2 gb RAM, 200 HDD (mine), and the latest java. I have been searching for answers via google and on this site since Sunday with no luck in getting this fixed. I read about crash reports and I wasnt getting any. The only time I could get a crash report is when I right click on the Minecraft icon and go to properties and change the colors to 256 colors or to run in 640 x 480 screen resolution those are the only time we received the crash reports. Here it is and i hope we can get this answered. Thanks for your help!
I believe the crash report states which type of computer (vista) and such so i wont go into all of that unless you need.
