Minecraft Forums

After leaving for a month without my computer i came back to find that i couldn't play minecraft. Every time I start the game it would blackscreen and give me an error message: hs_err_pid3488

Things I've tried:
Reinstalling minecraft+java multiple times
running as administrator
updating my graphics card driver


Here's what the error report says:
