Minecraft Forums

Hello, everyone =) I recently got Minecraft and I've been having some issues with it, so a friend of mine recommended I try asking on the forums. I'm not sure if these problems are being caused by my computer or the game itself, but maybe someone can help me. The game won't let me dig properly. It allows me to left click and attack, but when I hold the button down to dig it doesn't work. It will hit the block once and then stop. After having this problem for a while, Minecraft stopped opening on my computer. I'd click the icon ad nothing would come up whatsoever, and I even tried opening it in the browser. I settled for refreshing my computer, which allowed the program to open again because whatever glitch had caused it was gone. I've been playing it for a few hours and the digging thing has happened again. Help? Thanks ahead of time!
